The seminar is suitable for Lawyers, in-house counsel, trainees and other professionals at all levels working with English-language contracts in an international commercial context.

English is the leading global language of international business: it is the language in which deals are negotiated and contracts are drafted, from New York and London to Dubai and Singapore. It is therefore essential that any professional working internationally has a basic understanding of the key concepts and issues and is confident in navigating a common law-style contract. This introductory course covers the legal and linguistic fundamentals. English law sample contracts will be used to demonstrate the concepts in practice.

• Introduction to English common law

• English law concepts vs English language (legal vs linguistic)

• Definitions of key terms, contract formation, deeds

• Rules of construction and interpretation

• Anatomy of an English law contract and of a deed

• Play with defined terms

• Representations and warranties

• Indemnity Clauses

• Limitation of liability

• Termination and rescission, rights and remedies

• Boiler Plate clauses

• Pre-contractual relations

By the end of the course, you will:

• understand how English common law works and differs from civil law systems

• know the key terms of contract formation, including when a deed is needed

• know how English courts construe and interpret contracts

• recognise the typical structure of an English law contract and of a deed, and know what each part does

• understand the difference between representations and warranties, and why it matters

• understand how indemnity clauses work and how to read them critically
