TT Talk 312 | Contractual management obligations   The importance of contractual risk management, with both suppliers and customers (up and down the chain) should not be underestimated. Understanding commonly problematic contractual clauses and risk exposures is vital for those with commercial responsibility. Without care, a business may be severely exposed financially. External assistance with the review of contracts should be sought where you do not maintain a competent legal department.   The core of a contractual management plan should revolve around three key elements: 🔴 Assessing the contract 🔴 Are the terms too onerous? 🔴 Which clauses are key?   It would be prudent, particularly if your business does not benefit from a dedicated legal department, to develop an understanding of contractual risk management. Identifying the most important clauses, what they mean in the context of a loss or dispute and negotiating with your customer where appropriate.   To read this article in full, click the link below. https://lnkd.in/e2w3z9bT
