When you know how to engineer an effective contract
Contracts in the oil and gas upstream sector are extremely complex and they establish numerous concurrent obligations of the parties. Yet provisions related to termination and suspension of the services, work or supplies are often overlooked. The parties sign contracts where such provisions are “standard”, which means they don’t reflect the real scenarios that may occur if a specific contract is suspended or terminated. As a result, the parties not only face a difficult situation of termination or suspension, they end up resolving interpretation disputes, navigating the “standard” wordings that have never been adjusted to meet commercial and technical specifics of the scope. This session will provide important updates in common law on the topic of termination, which influenced upstream oil and gas sector.

This session contains best practices for:
- supply chain management professionals
- contract engineers and managers
- tender and bid preparation specialists
- contract negotiators of all levels
- project managers
- operational and technical personnel
- business development specialists
- cost recovery and tax experts
and other non-legal specialists, who have exposure to revenue generating or procurement contracts as part of their roles (in upstream operators, suppliers and contractors)

It was a pleasure being student at one of Olga's sessions. Olga delivered a very interesting module of CIPS syllabus where she made every procurement professional a ready paralegal! I enjoyed her devotion in detailing every single area of the course material by giving examples from her real experience at the field. I strongly recommend attending her classes.

Olga facilitated one of our modules for the CIPS Corporate Award program, and I admired her enthusiasm and pragmatism, particularly in sharing her own relevant experience where we can gain useful insights. Furthermore, her genuine effort to simplify legal theory, particularly legalese, helped me appreciate legal concepts and their importance to my work responsibilities.
