Drafting & Negotiating Outsourcing Agreements - A Masterclass

Introduction

Outsourcing is now a common part of the business strategy of most medium to large organisations.

However, the sophistication of the contractual and commercial arrangements underpinning such projects can vary significantly, and this can in turn negatively impact the chances of the deals delivering their envisaged benefits.

Join Kit Burden of DLA Piper in this virtual classroom seminar which will reflect on the different stages of the outsourcing process and identify the recommended dos and don'ts for each one, whilst also deconstructing the makeup of the outsourcing agreement itself and offering practical hints and tips as to the kinds of provisions to be considered for inclusion.

The session is suitable for lawyers, consultants and sourcing professionals engaged in outsourcing related transactions.
