Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaIt’s not possible to anticipate every risk involved in a transaction or venture. But there are ways for organisations to protect themselves against risks as they emerge.
This session will consider contractual risk from the perspective of commercial and litigation lawyers, including:
- identifying contractual risks and opportunities
- determining what level of risk is acceptable
- dealing with non-performance
- preserving contractual rights and deescalating disputes
- the role of external counsel
- preserving relationships and negotiating a successful commercial outcome
- identifying when to escalate and initiate action
Mark and Kerry will consider these issues with reference to matters they have advised on across a broad range of industries.
