3/8/2023 – Webinar: Contracts Toolkit 2023

missed webinar

Join Felicity Dixon and Wendy Poulton for an update on some essential aspects of consultancy agreements on behalf of informed Lawyers Pty Ltd (ACN 635 862 145).

The webinar begins with a how-to guide for putting together your own consultancy agreement, including style, format, key provisions, and a reminder of the requirements of the architects code of conduct in NSW, Victoria and Queensland that architects’ terms and conditions need to meet.

Next up are some ideas on preparing for those occasions when the client rejects your terms and proposes its own contract as an alternative, followed by resources for contract negotiation and drafting.

The last section will provide a brief recap of unfair contracts legislation and an overview of the amendments that come into effect in November 2023.
