Contract Law of England and Wales Short Course Online

Hello and welcome everyone to my new class, where I will teach you how to draft clear commercial contracts.

My name is Michael and I am a Legal English teacher who has been teaching for 15 years. I have taught lawyers at Google, Apple, Cisco, Bloomsbury Law, Richemont, Goldman Sachs, Baker McKenzie and Ashurst among many other organisations about how to read, understand draft clear contracts that are watertight and effective.

You'll learn key contractual concepts including offer and acceptance, terms (the contents of contracts) and remedies (how to resolve problems with contracts). This course consists of video lessons which aim to explain the key areas of contract law. The course is primarily based on the common law of England and Wales.

Thanks to my twenty years of experience working with over 10,000 lawyers and law students from around the world, I have the skills to help you to become a better contract draughtsman and improve your legal English.

This class is aimed at people who wish to become better at understanding contracts and how they are put together.

This course will also be of value to students of Legal English and Business English who would like to improve their vocabulary and comprehension of the language.

Nothing can replace the value of working with me one-to-one, but I hope that this series of classes goes some way to helping you to engage more fully with the language of contract law and negotiation.

Our main focus is to learn how to practically draft commercial contracts in plain English. Your course will be divided as follows:

• In our first part we will learn about the language of contract law.

• Our second series of lessons we will explore how contracts are formed.

• The third section will look at key contract clauses and their purpose.

• In the fourth set of classes, learn how about negotiating skills and phrases.

• In part five, look at some key contract clauses and how to word them correctly.
