How enrolment worksWhat this course is about
A short, dense course on commercial contracts read the way a business reads them. Across three two-hour sessions we take apart the anatomy of a contract and how it allocates risk, work through the clauses that get fought over in negotiation, and finish by marking up a real contract with commercial intent. Practical throughout, using the kinds of clauses juniors are handed in their first months.

What you'll walk away with
Edward Noakes
Founder & Instructor, MBLP
Edward founded the Moroccan Business Law Port (MBLP) to share the practical know-how that too often gets picked up by chance in a first job. He is not a veteran lawyer with decades on the clock, but he has been in and around law firms long enough to guide a good number of interns and law students — and to notice the same gaps between university and the workplace, again and again. MBLP is his way of helping the next intake arrive a little sharper, a little more confident, and ready to take on real work from day one.

Every MBLP cohort is capped at 20 places. Enough for a proper group, small enough that your instructor knows your work.
