Details
The Business Law and Legal Issues conference series has been created to provide small company CFOs and finance professionals a primer on common legal issues they will deal with in the course of their business. Our panel of speakers of legal professionals from Canada's top law firms and recognized experts from KPMG will help attendees understand legal agreements, freeing up their time to focus on the strategic issues facing their corporation.
This year's conference, “Good Agreements Prevent Disagreements”, will discuss some of the more common business agreements. The goal is to provide attendees with an understanding of clauses customarily included in standard agreements, to help attendees assist their counsel in drafting business agreements which reflect the business purpose and cover the eventualities, and to limit the liability that may face the business during the execution of the agreement.
We have crafted an agenda to provide a comprehensive review of the common agreements that most small company CFOs have to work with. The speakers are leading legal professionals and recognized experts from KPMG and Canada’s top law firms.
This conference qualifies for 7 CPD hours, and 5 FPSC credits.
