Webinar Invitation: Ask The Expert, 8 December 2020, 12.00- 1.00 PM SGT

Ask The Expert

The spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Singapore and around the world has fundamentally changed the way companies are operating and has created significant new business risks. Additionally, contracts continue to under-perform and most negotiations seriously underdeliver on potential value. This finding is not new, but the COVID-19 pandemic has accentuated the extent of the failure and the scale of the opportunity to improve.

Introduction

The 2020 Most Negotiated Terms report produced by World Commerce & Contracting, is a pivotal resource for organizations seeking to understand and manage their negotiations and contracts better. The data analysed in the report comes from across sectors and geographies. It reveals an on-going conflict in our management of risk, perceived and actual.

This Report consists of data collected from:

• 65 countries
• Across 20 industries
• 58% from buy-side
• 42% from sell-side

To close the year, Harry Elias Partnership LLP in collaboration with World Commerce & Contracting brings to you this webinar to discuss the following:

• The top 10 terms that negotiators believe they negotiate with the greatest frequency in a contract negotiation.
• The top 10 terms that negotiators believe are the most significant in their impact on outcomes or results in a contract negotiation.
• The top 10 terms that negotiators believe are most often the cause of disagreements or disputes in a contractual dispute.
