Spotlight on Consultancy Agreements - Melbourne seminar

When a project runs into difficulty – or, worse yet, generates a multi-million dollar rectification claim – each consultant’s liability will often be determined in large part by the terms of the consultancy agreement, including the scope of services.

Over the last twenty years, it has become essential for consultants on commercial and government projects to be fluent in legal terminology, and recognise when they are being asked to sign a contract provision that imposes upon them greater commercial or insurance risk than is ordinary. As contract lawyers come up with more inventive means of allocating risks, it is more important than ever to stay up to date.  

Wendy Poulton from informed by Planned Cover will discuss the key insurance risks currently found in consultancy agreements, and how these have changed (or not) over the last decade. Then we’ll hear from Lander & Rogers Lawyers on some commercial issues in consultant contracts. In the last session Anna Piatkowska (DCM), Mark Murphy (Fender Katsalidis) and Tony Allen (ARM) will be joined by our first two speakers for a panel discussion on the practical side of contract negotiation. Please join us for a rare chance to evaluate your own experiences of negotiating commercial and government contracts, and learn from your colleagues’ insights.
