This is the 1st course in The Strategic Business Lawyer series, a 4-part CLE-TV series for solicitors on how to help clients manage the risk of disputes in their business relationships and ensure business continuity when disputes do arise. In the series you will benefit from both a litigator’s and a solicitor’s perspectives, as Stephen Antle and Jennifer Archer of Borden Ladner Gervais LLP team up to give insights on drafting contracts to avoid disputes, preventing and managing disputes in international business transactions, making commercial arbitration really work, and preventing and managing all kinds of corporate governance disputes.
In this course you will learn how to help prevent and manage disputes by...
- understanding the impact of the choice of governing law on contract interpretation
- understanding the basic common law principle of contract interpretation
- understanding how drafting in plain English reduces uncertainty about contractual meaning
- “benchmarking” potentially ambiguous obligations
- ensuring contracts contain an appropriate and effective dispute resolution mechanism
- paying attention to the “boilerplate”
- ensuring that all related agreements mesh together
