Contract Drafting for Non-Lawyers

Building Contract Confidence for Business Professionals

This practical 2-day programme is designed to equip non-legal professionals with the essential skills needed to confidently read, interpret, draft and negotiate contracts. Participants learn the core structure of contracts, how to draft clear and enforceable clauses, and how to identify and manage commercial risks. Through hands-on exercises, clause-rewriting activities and real-world scenarios, delegates develop the technical competence needed to support their organisation in contract preparation, review and negotiation. This course bridges the gap between legal concepts and business application, enabling stronger decision-making and reduced contractual risks across all functions.
