Negotiation is a key stage in any commercial contract scenario. Negotiation may involve much time and expense aimed at securing an enforceable Agreement. All contract negotiations import an element of risk in the outcome or the terms achieved. This program will examine what the principal risks in commercial contract negotiations are and how to avoid them. A number of practical case studies will be explored in order to discuss and analyse the various risks and how the negotiator may best deal with these. This program will provide essential and up to date knowledge on all aspects of the law relating to the pre-contract phase and invaluable sources for those representing parties in such negotiations or advising on potential remedies when commercial negotiations breakdown.

Overview
Recent litigation before the appellate courts has seen significant developments in the law relating to employer’s liability for the acts of employees and others causing loss to third parties. This subject is one that in recent years has led to a substantial amount of litigation (arising for example from historical sexual abuse litigation) and attracted the interest of the Appellate courts. The issue has been before the Supreme Court recently in Various Claimants v Wm Morrison Supermarkets (2020), Various Cloaimants v Barclays Bank (2020) Cox v Ministry of Justice, Mohamud v WM Morrison Supermarkets plc, The Catholic Child Welfare Society and others (Appellants) v Various Claimants (FC) and The Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and others (Respondents). This is a complex area of law that is laden with pitfalls for the unsuspecting employer. For those advising employers as to their potential liability to third parties knowledge of the current law and practice in this area is essential. This workshop provides essential information and guidance for those involved in advising and representing employers in their dealings with employees and third parties. The seminar will include analysis of a number of highly realistic case studies to illustrate the application of the law in a practical litigation context and to discuss best strategies.
