Ziel

If you already have a basic understanding of how Common Law contracts and agreements are set up, applied and interpreted in English, this seminar is designed to develop your skills and knowledge further. We will deal with the basic contract structure, the principles of “boilerplates” and standard types of contract clauses along with issues of liability. Participants will be provided with both template clauses and template contracts drawn from English law and other jurisdictions including the United States. We will then explore the purpose behind the typical boilerplate clauses as well as the preferred formulations and, where relevant, discuss the relevance of the Common Law clauses in the German/Civil Law context.
