Pitfalls of commercial contracts

Summary

Although EEF members manufacture a large variety of different products, the legal issues you face in everyday commercial transactions will be common to all. Negotiating and drafting effective and robust commercial contracts where all parties understand their rights and obligations is vital to minimising your exposure to potentially costly litigation it if all goes wrong.

In order to respond to member demand for practical guidance in this important area, we are organising four half-day seminars. We have invited Squire Sanders, a leading international law firm with particular experience in commercial litigation, to help members recognise the potential pitfalls in commercial contracts.
