Contractual Risk Transfer Canada
Virtual Workshop
COURSE DETAILS
It is often said, “Where there is no risk, there is no reward.” It is impossible to eliminate all risk, but, at the same time, it is foolish to accept all risk. Risk should not be visualized as a two-dimensional line. The most successful corporations understand how risks can be allocated between parties, trade-off between types of risk, use of third parties to deal with certain types of risk and have a good understanding of the nature of the most common risks. This course provides a more in-depth understanding of the nature of risks in the Canadian context to allow business decision makers to reduce risk economically. Canadian contractual and tort law is similar enough to U.S. law that many U.S. risk managers assume it is the same — except it is not — and the differences are important when negotiating contracts with or between Canadian business entities because a wrong assumption can have significant consequences.
By the end of the workshop, you will learn how to understand and draft a contract that effectively transfers risk while reducing your company’s exposure to loss. Further, you will have the tools you need to feel confident in the terms of your contracts with other parties, and the knowledge to engage in more productive discussions of risk transfer, from negotiating with service providers to communicating with your company’s stakeholders.
