INTRODUCTION

In every organisation, care is taken to manage risks by seeking to eliminate those that can be removed and reducing and managing the remainder. Part of this process involves developing robust contracts which apportion risk equitably and include a structure of indemnities with contractors, supported by a comprehensive insurance regime. In addition, it is important that contract personnel understand contractual risks and what insurance can (and cannot) do to remove the financial consequences of such risk; remembering always that insurance only mitigates the effect of risk, it does not make the risk itself go away.

This Contractual Risk, Insurance and Indemnities training course is designed to:

  • Provide an understanding of contract structures, and how and why contracts are drafted in particular ways
  • Provide an understanding of some of the main clauses in different types of agreements
  • Help participants to understand the meaning of insurance arrangements, and the terminology used
  • Ensure participants appreciate the effect of insurance, and it limitations in the management of risk
  • Explain how to use contract provisions to reduce the risk of disputes, and where disputes do arise, some of the methods by which disputes are resolved in international contracting

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

  • To provide a more in depth understanding of the elements of a contract
  • To understand how to analyse complex contact documents, and the inter-relationship between clauses
  • To understand how to develop effective indemnity regimes

TRAINING SUMMARY

This EuroMaTech Contractual Risk, Insurance and Indemnities training course starts by looking at how contracts are used to address and mitigate the impact of commercial and other risks, and to assist in the management of those risks that remain. It will explain how contracts are out together, and the additional issues that arise when contracting internationally.

It will then look at insurance arrangements within a contractual context, and how these interface with the indemnity regimes commonly found in many international contracts. Finally, it will address how to use the contract to minimise disputes, and various methods of resolving any disputes that do arise, including some alternative methods that are not traditional in commercial contracting, but are becoming more popular, such as mediation.
