Contract Drafting and Enforcement

 

Contracts are one of the most important tools for smooth functioning of business operations. Every commercial or non-commercial entity enters into contracts and agreements to ensure certainty of service, predictability of courses of action, and enforceability of the agreed terms. While the enforceability of contract comes into play after it has been accepted by each party, the most crucial and tricky aspect of a contact is its drafting. Contract drafting involves application of business knowledge, contract laws and writing skills. An incorrectly drafted contract can have unforeseeable repercussions causing huge financial losses to the parties involved. Thus, not everybody is able to draft effective contracts.

This course helps you grasp the fundamentals of contract law and hone your contract drafting skills. It provides relevant practical assignments using case studies for the students to understand the rights and liabilities emerging from day-to-day and complex contractual dealings.
