In today’s economic climate many companies are highly dependent upon external business relationships to achieve objectives and shareholder value. With recent economic and oil price fluctuations, many executives overlook the importance of managing the performance and compliance of their extended business alliances and the associated risks.
Managing counterparty risk and credit risk has added real pressure to companies’ legal agreements and this is reflected in the contracting market environment, which is steadily becoming harder to navigate for both parties involved.
We will discuss proactive strategies that can help enterprise-level relationships move to create trust and value alongside best practice contract management strategies enabling you to minimise costs, enhance negotiating skills and ensure optimum risk mitigation.
