English contract law for international business

English law has become a currency of international business. Companies in many sectors and industries are choosing English law to govern their B2B contracting activities, or they are at least influenced by it.

Who should attend?

This seminar is designed for non-English in-house lawyers, as well as for experienced contract professionals, from all industry sectors. Essential know-how and tools on English contract law will be provided. The seminar will focus on B2B law rather than B2C law.

Who is presenting?

The session will be led by London-based Bird & Bird partner Andrew White, who is an experienced presenter and delivered earlier versions of this seminar many times in Germany, including Munich, Frankfurt and Dusseldorf. He will highlight core concepts, the legal environment, explain jargon and give practical examples.

What is on the agenda?

• freedom of contract
  
• contracting at a time of uncertainty
  
• reasonableness and good faith
  
• the court system
  
• Governing law and the Supreme Court
  
• endeavours clauses
  
• contract formation and ‘subject to contract’
  
• exclusion clauses
  
• 'consequential loss' and indemnities
