ACC AustraliaThis webinar, presented by Gilbert + Tobin’s market-leading Technology + Digital team, will look at recent case law and the techniques and rules used to construe real examples of contract clauses.
The session will consider the following important questions:
- Can ‘commercial purpose’ override the literal meaning of the language used;

- How can you protect the construction you want when drafting?
This webinar is targeted at commercial lawyers who draft and advise on commercial contracts.
