Drafting Skills

About this training

(1 customer review)

This workshop complements ‘SPA Clause by Clause’, though it can be attended on a stand-alone basis.  It begins with a short video presentation for you to view in your own time, which focuses on some general drafting rules to follow, as well as some practical suggestions to improve the way you work on documents.

There are a number of offline drafting exercises available. You can complete these in your own time and send them in to the facilitator.  The facilitator will review your work, provide a mark-up and arrange an online session to go through the comments and make suggestions.
