Introduction

Project managers make daily decisions that affect contractual rights, cost, time and risk. They do not need to become lawyers, but they must understand how contracts are formed, how obligations are interpreted and how conduct, correspondence and delayed notices can alter the organization’s position.

This course presents contract law through the realities of project delivery. Participants examine authority, terms, risk allocation, performance, change, delay, breach and remedies using practical scenarios rather than abstract doctrine. The programme develops the ability to recognize legal significance, maintain appropriate records and escalate issues early, while clarifying where jurisdiction-specific legal advice is required.
