Non-Standard Contract Clauses – “Can You Afford to Ignore Them?”

This is a workshop for participants to understand the meaning of non-standard contract clauses, and to explore the risks contractors are assuming and the consequent considerations when bidding. Unfair allocation of risk often times gets as- signed in contract clauses based on project owners’ or their lawyers’ past experiences. When there is a lack of under- standing of the risk, and the risk materializes, the bidder can jeopardize their business and disputes can arise. The results arising from this Workshop will assist you to reduce your risks in responding to tenders containing non-standard terms.
