Understanding the Legal Aspects of Procurement
Ideally we would leave all things legal to the legal department! However this isn’t always possible and many businesses do not have the luxury of a legal department. It is critical therefore that all members of the Procurement / Buying team have an understanding of both Contract and Commercial Law.
This 1 day course will provide delegates with a solid introductory understanding of legal aspects that apply to Procurement.
