5-module Training Series with How to Contract and Agiloft
Become a Vendor Contracts Expert with our free training series. Laura Frederick is partnering with Agiloft to present Vendor Contracts Boot Camp, a 5-part training series for lawyers and contract teams focused on drafting, negotiating and managing vendor contracts. We’ll do a deep dive into the practical approaches you need when working on these critical contracts. Below you can register for the upcoming modules, pre-registration for future modules, or watch past modules on-demand.
Module 1 – Drafting Clauses to Manage Supply Chain Disruption
The world’s been turned upside down, and your supply chain feels it first. While we can’t control when the next factory shutdown, shipping crisis, or materials shortage will hit, we can control how our contracts respond when—not if—disruption strikes. Join us for this practical training session where we’ll examine critical contract clauses that can protect your organization during supply chain uncertainty. Whether you’re in-house counsel, a contract manager, or procurement professional, you’ll gain actionable insights.
Date: Apr 29
Module 2 – Structuring pricing and financial terms to manage risk
Money matters, especially in vendor contracts. The financial terms you negotiate today will determine your flexibility, leverage, and risk exposure tomorrow when market conditions inevitably shift and business requirements change. Join us for this practical training session where we’ll examine essential contract provisions that safeguard your organization’s financial interests in vendor relationships. Whether you’re in-house counsel, a contract manager, or a procurement professional, you’ll gain actionable insights.
Date: June 17
Module 3 – Drafting contracts to buy manufactured goods
Drafting contracts for manufactured goods: what’s different and why it matters. Buying manufactured goods requires contract provisions that don’t exist in service and digital agreements. From warranty structures to quality control, these contracts require different approaches to common legal concepts. This session focuses on the key differences between goods and service contracts, with practical guidance on drafting provisions that work in the real world of manufacturing procurement.
Date: July 10
Module 4 – Drafting contracts to buy digital products
Digital contracts fail in predictable ways. Vague licensing terms lead to usage disputes. Weak performance standards create lots of finger-pointing. Unrealistic data provisions leave you exposed and potentially locked in. And inadequate exit planning can lead to an operational disaster when you can’t get out of a bad situation.
We’re going to dig into the four contract provisions that make or break digital procurement deals. Attend this module to learn how to negotiate smarter digital contracts and avoid the common pitfalls that trip up even experienced lawyers and professionals.
Date: Aug 14, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET
Module 5 – Negotiating contracts to buy services with deliverables
Successful service contracts depend on the customer clearly identifying what it is buying. Those fuzzy deliverable specs turn into months of revisions. That unclear IP ownership provision creates legal headaches. And key people disappear mid-project with no backup plan. Then, when things go sideways, everyone points fingers about who’s supposed to fix what.
In Module 5 of our Vendor Contracts Boot Camp series, we’re going to tackle the four negotiation areas that determine whether your service contract delivers what you need or becomes an expensive mess.
Date: Sep 18, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET
