International Contracting Key Issues & Conflicts
Course Description
This course explains how you can anticipate and address the key issues and conflicts that arise in entering and managing contractual relationships with foreign firms and governments. You’ll gain a solid understanding of the provisions that govern international contractual relationships and how they differ from provisions governing domestic contracts. This comprehensive course addresses corruption and other legal considerations, the ins and outs of commercial arrangements, and the implications of international treaties and world events. It also gives you a firm foundation for drafting, interpreting, negotiating and modifying contractual agreements. Project managers and others who are new to the international marketplace, as well as those with experience in foreign government and commercial contracting, can learn to profit from overseas trade opportunities while avoiding the pitfalls that face those who are uninformed.
