While the object of international contracting is to write and manage contracts to minimize disputes, some disagreements are inevitable. These can arise from failures by one of the parties, but also often arise from misunderstandings as to obligations under the contract.
This program will look at how claims (and counterclaims) arise; how they can be reduced or avoided by good contracts management; how they should be evaluated when received, or prepared when being delivered and how to resolve disputes arising from such claims. It will also, and most importantly, look at ways of avoiding disputed claims in the first place.
All of these processes, and indeed, claims and counterclaims generally, become more complicated when placed in an international context. This is particularly the case where a foreign law and/or legal system is involved, with which you may not be familiar, and which may include rules which conflict with those of your own country.
At the end of this conference the participants will be able to:
Understand how and why claims and counterclaims arise
Explain the differences between claims and counterclaims
Identify common causes of claims and disputes, and how to avoid them
Discuss how to develop contracts management procedures to avoid disputes over claims and counterclaims, while resisting unjustified claims
Increase working knowledge of legal implications and potential problems with foreign legal systems
Improve the ability to reduce the risk of claims and disputes

Alliances in business are a natural route for development – but not all contracting relationships can truly be seen as alliances. A good, trusting and open relationship is essential for a long-term and successful alliance – and this needs to be practiced by the negotiators involved. Negotiation is inevitably at the heart of every process to achieve what you want, whether in an agreement, bargaining for an item, or closing a deal. At the end of each negotiation, the goal is to seek a win/win outcome – an essential characteristic of long-lasting alliances. This course provides an essential framework for effective negotiation — which will be vital for building and exploiting an alliance - from building the relationship, critical thinking to prioritize goals
