You’ve shaken hands – but have you actually got a deal? You’ve done the work but now they won’t pay; do they have to? Someone’s promised something; but do they have to honour their promise?

Join us for this free webinar about Contract basics:

• The different types of Contracts and why one may be better than another;

• The fundamental elements of a Contract;

• At what point do you have a binding Contract that you can enforce?

• When someone has promised to do something, do they actually have to do it?

You will walk away from this session understanding how agreements are formed and whether your “agreement” is binding, the different types of agreements and how those differences affect you. What are the fail-safes you might need if the other side disagrees that they are bound to do anything?

Questions will be taken on the day but you can also submit your questions in writing before the session to dominique.engelter@whlaw.com.au.

A recording of the webinar will be made available to those registered to attend.
