The English legal system plays a central role in many international disputes, offering a framework widely recognised for its stability, precedent-based rulings, and detailed procedures. Understanding how English law operates in an international context is crucial for legal professionals and business practitioners alike. One key aspect of English law is its reliance on the common law system, which uses judicial decisions as primary sources of law, in contrast to many other jurisdictions that follow civil law systems. This approach precedes previous court decisions, creating a reliable structure for contractual obligations, dispute resolution, and risk management in legal agreements.
In the English Law System in International Disputes: Risks and Rewards course, participants will gain an in-depth understanding of these aspects of English law and learn how to apply them effectively in international disputes. The course covers key areas such as contract drafting under English law, risk assessment and allocation, and various dispute resolution strategies like arbitration and mediation. By the end of the course, participants will be well-equipped to manage legal risks, draft contracts in compliance with English law, and navigate complex international legal disputes with greater confidence.
