In this session, a legal expert will discuss simple, practical, and useful information about contractual risk issues that you can use as a guideline, such as: • Understanding risk management before modifying contracts • What contract modification should never be done and why • Best contract practice processes for keeping you out of legal hot water • At what times you should consult with your insurance provider and/or attorney SEMINAR DESCRIPTIONS RUN YOUR COMPANY
