DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Liabilities,
Damages and Other Contentious Issues in International Commercial
Agreements” conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.
Now is not the time for weaknesses in your commercial contracts when
risk and liability have to be kept to a minimum. During the negotiation
of international commercial agreements, the exact exposure in relation
to damages is often not properly identified, anticipated or understood.
Frequently, the parties are:
-
Unaware of the true nature of the law of damages in
the chosen governing law of the contract -
Unaware of the fundamental differences of approach in
the Common Law and Civil Law systems -
Unaware that their attempts at limiting or excluding
their liability may be ineffective
This specialist two-day seminar has been expressly
developed to focus exclusively on this subject. The seminar offers a
wide-ranging and detailed understanding of the law of damages under
English law with comparisons to Civil Law jurisdictions. Presented by
international specialists in the field, the seminar shall enable
participants to effectively draft and negotiate contracts with knowledge
and confidence.
Who Should Attend?
- Lawyers working in business, government and private practice

All those working in a legal context but not necessarily having law as
their underlying professional qualification, including contract
managers, commercial managers and directors
