Contract Writing Training
Contract Writing Training Course Description
Contract writing teaches you how to write a successful contract, in both private and federal aspects. We will cover the fundamental basics of writing unambiguous documents and contracts including relevant vocabulary and phrases which are most often used in contracts. This training provides explanations of the meaning and application of archaic legal English.
Contract writing training provides you with a strong comprehension of the attainment community and helps you to manage the whole procurement process. We will help you to collaborate with federal, state, and local government and agency clients at all levels, and give you the support you need to navigate constantly-changing compliance mandates, regulations, and directives.
We will discuss the contract basics by describing what a contract is and the different types of contracts. We will cover the main elements to most contracts, as well as an explanation of how US law regulates contractual activity. We’ll discuss implementation and dispute resolution alternatives, and the crucial requirements of a contract – offer, consideration and acceptance.
In addition, we will teach you who can enter a contract, how to reach to an agreement in negotiation and designing a written contract. This hands-on course will also evaluate unfair and inadequate contracts that could be challenged; concentrate on contract closure, covering breach, voiding and rescission claims; and give details on particular contract situations, including real estate, financing and social contracts.
