Intermediate Contract Vetting

Description

Brokers are often asked to comment on the insurance implications of commercial contracts by customers. This can be difficult as they are insurance advisors not legal advisors but it is still useful to have a good understanding of the risk and insurance implications of commercial contracts. In this one day course (through a series of case studies) we examine various commercial contracts and discuss and analyse their risk and insurance implications.
