Reflecting the ever-increasing complexity of the legal landscape in higher education, Bricker Graydon LLP is offering a webinar aimed at highlighting potential legal issues that can arise in institution’s contracts. Scheduled for March 20th, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm EST, this webinar is set to shed vital light on key red flags to watch for when reviewing contracts within the higher education sector.
While contracts play a crucial role in higher education — providing the framework for collaborations, research initiatives, employment agreements, and more — they can often consist of terminologies and clauses that, if not properly understood and addressed, may lead to troublesome issues down the line.
Bricker Graydon’s Higher Ed team members, Jeff Knight and Rebecca Joseph will lead the discussion on deciphering contract language. They will provide insights into what elements should be present in a contract, pinpoint problematic terminology, guide on negotiation methods, and suggest scenarios when it would be necessary to consult counsel.
These insights bear particular importance considering that higher education professionals are often required to review and sign contracts in their roles. The webinar is expected to serve as both a training tool for new administrators and as a refresher for seasoned administrators, staff, and faculty with varying levels of experience in contract management.
To conclude, it is increasingly vital for higher education professionals to be well-acquainted with navigational skills required to avoid potential legal pitfalls in contract management. This session will give professionals the ability to identify potential complications before they become significant issues, saving both time and resources.
