Best practices guide on contract law

MANILA, Philippines - Don’t be duped, fooled, or taken advantage by others in business deals and personal transactions because of unfamiliarity on contract law. Life is a series of agreements and it will be useful to understand contract law, especially for non-lawyers in family businesses and for professionals.

It’s a life skill that all citizens must know. Don’t be one of the many who have become victims of flawed, void or voidable contracts that cannot be enforced. To help you avoid pitfalls and traps in creating and enforcing agreements, the Center for Global Best Practices is launching a one-day seminar entitled, “Best Practices Guide on Contract Law for Non-Lawyers” on Friday, March 6, 2015 at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City, Philippines.

For details and a complete list of upcoming seminars including How To Prevent, Collect and Prosecute Those With Bouncing Checks, International Trade Training Seminars, HR Laws, Education Law, and more, you may log on to www.cgbp.org or call (+63 2) 842-7148/ 59 and 556-8968/ 69, Cebu lines: (+63 32) 512-3106 or 07 or Baguio line: (+63 74) 423-5148.

This pioneering seminar is designed to update professionals, businessmen and non-lawyers about the fundamentals and sticky areas of Philippine law governing obligations and contracts. Knowledge of the substance and form of agreements can prevent serious conflicts and business losses that can snowball into lawsuits and even violence. A legally enforceable contract binds the parties to their respective promises and signals the start of a smooth and continuous relationship for them.

This special learning event will feature Jim V. Lopez who is the author of five bestselling books including “Judgment Proof: Philippine Asset Protection Law”, “Alternative Dispute Resolution”, “The Law on Annulment of Marriage”, “Immigration Law” and “How To Excel In Law School.”
