Contract law course - basic knowledge of technical contracts
Understandably, engineers and technicians do not focus on contract law. However, in practice, the topic plays an important role in everyday working life. Because without appropriate contracts, projects lack the necessary legal basis. However, agreements and contractual clauses are all the more important in project or work contracts. This is because they clearly regulate liability and responsibility issues. With this two-day training course in contract law, participants deepen their knowledge of contracts and can transfer this knowledge to their company in a practical way.
