This practical and interactive course is designed to bring contracts to life for all delegates. It provides you with a thorough understanding of the key commercial and legal risks when negotiating contracts with your clients and umbrella companies.
The course explores the life cycle of your journey with a client. Taking delegates through all the required compliance steps from the moment your client briefs you on a role to terminating an agreement.
The latter part of the course provides a deep dive into how contracts are formed, their terms and how they are terminated.

You will review a set of mock terms with client’s amendments made to various of the key provisions.
