Certified Contract & Claim Manager

Contracts are never perfect - as Oliver Hart (MIT) proved in his fundamental contribution to contract theory (Nobel Prize in Economics 2016). Based on the assumption that contracts can never be "perfect" or "watertight", the content of contracts is interpreted or construed differently after they are concluded. Essentially, only one question arises: Which services must be provided by the contract and which services are no longer part of the scope of the contract (in-scope/on-scope question)? Additional services must then be commissioned through change requests, which makes projects such as Toll Collect, Elbphilharmonie and Berlin Airport incredibly expensive or incredibly successful, depending on the position. Such claim management is not a "nice to have" but a "must to have" in today's world! In view of the current supply bottlenecks and price increases, this is particularly relevant. By taking part in this intensive course, you will gain comprehensive basic knowledge to help you navigate the legal world of contracts and become familiar with different types of contracts. The knowledge imparted will give you the confidence to make claims or defend against claims. You will learn how to conduct contract negotiations confidently and confidently, even in unclear legal situations.
