Frequently Asked Questions
About International Contract Management and Commercial Law Training Course
Once a contract crosses a border it raises questions a domestic contract never does: which country's law governs it, where disputes are heard, how a judgment or award is enforced, and how different legal systems read the same words. The course equips you to manage those questions deliberately.
You learn how governing law and jurisdiction clauses work, how they interact, and how the wrong choice can leave you litigating in an inconvenient forum or holding an unenforceable judgment. Getting these clauses right is often worth more than the commercial terms.
It covers the principles that recur in cross-border trade, including trade terms and Incoterms, the international sale of goods, agency and distribution, limitation, and force majeure, so you can read and negotiate international contracts with confidence.
The course focuses on international arbitration and on how the framework for recognising and enforcing arbitral awards across borders makes arbitration the default for cross-border deals, along with the practical steps to enforce.
You learn where common-law and civil-law traditions diverge in how they treat contracts, and how to draft and manage agreements that work across both, which matters greatly for African organisations trading with partners in different legal traditions.
It suits contract and commercial managers, procurement and legal staff, and project and trade professionals managing cross-border contracts for organisations operating across and beyond Africa.
You will be able to structure and administer international contracts, set governing law and jurisdiction, apply core commercial-law principles, allocate cross-border risk and manage international disputes.
It runs as a live online cohort and in person in cities such as Nairobi, Lagos, Accra, Kigali and Dubai, with a Certificate of Completion and post-training support, and can be delivered in-house for commercial and legal teams across Africa.
