Participants will learn how to identify trustworthy partners, what precautions to take before and during negotiations, and how to embed safeguards that protect both sides throughout the contractual relationship.

As modern business environments evolve, the rise of AI has transformed how agreements, SLAs, and contracts are created and managed.
