Webinar recording: Getting Confident with Contracts - Part 1: a practical perspective
Date recorded: 19 October 2021
Managing consultancy agreements is a major challenge for consultants, especially when working with the ever-expanding contracts used on government, commercial, or institutional projects.
Reading and negotiating contracts takes your key team members away from other vital tasks in the early stages of a project. And yet, without that time investment, you could be left exposed to unacceptable and uninsurable contract risks.
Good procedures, familiarity, and having resources to hand can all help make contracts more manageable. In this webinar, Wendy Poulton from our new subsidiary company informed Lawyers Pty Ltd (ACN 635 862 145) will talk about the top five issues commonly found in consultancy agreements, and outline some useful resources, before discussing the practicalities of contract negotiation, including:
- different approaches for different clients;
- timing and format; and
- the relationship between negotiation and price.
Learning Objectives
After this webinar, you will understand:
- compile a library of helpful resources for contract negotiation;
- identify some of the most commonly available pro forma contracts for consultants; and
- have on hand a range of different negotiation strategies which you can adapt to different clients.
