A special two day program on the foundations of commercial contracting and on the contents and practical, daily impact of the Uniform Commercial Code.
If you are in business in any capacity relating to buying or selling - sales executive, marketing representative, purchasing agent, material manager, contract administrator - or if you render legal or accounting services, this course is essential.
Perhaps the greatest virtue and challenge of doing business in this country is that the United States is a big market -- 50 states, each with its own set of laws. But, commercial dealings are interstate, criss-crossing the borders. Hence, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) - was adopted by most States to assure that we're all playing by the same set of rules.
Perhaps the most significant portion of the UCC is that which has to do with the heart of business; buying and selling. It tells you what you can do and what you can't; what your rights are and what risks you run; how to structure your transactions and how to avoid disadvantageous consequences. Indeed, if thoroughly studied and understood, and applied with practical sense, the UCC is a commercial contracting roadmap by which your operations can be advanced and protected.
If you are in business in any capacity related to buying or selling such as a sales executive, marketing representative, purchasing agent, material manager, contract administrator, or if you render legal or accounting services, knowing the UCC is essential.
Providing that opportunity is the purpose of this special program: Two days of immersion in the key practical and legal principles applicable to business dealings, conducted by an expert Course Director. In addition to concentrated lectures, attendees will receive a comprehensive course Manual for use during the program and after the course has been completed as a desk reference on commercial contracting and the Uniform Commercial Code. |
