LegalVision – A Handshake Is Not Harmless: The Hidden Costs of Verbal Agreements – VIRTUAL

July 22 @ 10:30 am - 11:15 am

Verbal agreements happen all the time in business, but they’re hard to prove if things go wrong – and that can leave you exposed when a dispute arises.

Without a written record, you may struggle to show what was actually agreed, which can lead to expensive legal battles with no clear outcome.

 

To help you understand the risks of verbal agreements and protect your business if a dispute arises, LegalVision is hosting a free webinar on A Handshake Is Not Harmless: The Hidden Costs of Verbal Agreements.

Join us on Wednesday, 22 July,  when Dimi Tong (Senior Lawyer) will discuss:

  • what counts as a handshake deal and when it may still create legal obligations;
  • how verbal agreements create risks that can be avoided;
  • how to prove the terms of an agreement when there is no signed contract;
  • the challenges of providing evidence for verbal agreements that end up in litigation;
  • what solutions are possible if a party does not honour the agreement; and
  • practical steps to strengthen your records, reduce uncertainty and protect your position before a dispute arises.
