Course dates
Course overview:
With the arrival of the new Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees (URDG 758), the course is more than ever a pre-requisite for all involved in the use of guarantees in international trade and project finance structures. The use of international guarantees, bonds and standbys has proliferated in recent years yet documentation errors, fraud and unfair calling have made guarantees a legal minefield and subject to more court proceedings than any other financial instrument.
This Euromoney Legal Training course will highlight the areas of potential risk and teach effective documentation techniques. You will analyse the legal issues in bonds and guarantees, explaining the products and their uses.
