As the legal industry continues to evolve with increasing complexity and demands, legal professionals must stay ahead by continually updating their skills and knowledge. To address this critical need, Formation Exceptionelle is set to host an intensive training program titled “Practical Training on Contract Drafting and Review, Risk Management, and Company Secretariat.”

This event is scheduled for October 15th to 17th, 2024, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at The Panoramic View Hall, Civic Center, Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, Victoria Island.

The lineup of distinguished speakers includes Dr. Ayodele Oni (Partner, Bloomfield Law Practice), Funmilayo Otsemobor (Mrs.) (Partner, Aluko & Oyebode), Adedoyin Afun (Partner, Bloomfield Law Practice), Desmond Ogba (Partner, Templars Law), Dipo Akinbode (Group Deputy General Counsel, Aradel Holdings) and Oluwadare Agbelese(Group Head, Legal and Supply Chain Management, Waltersmith) .

Dr. Ayodele Oni, Director of Formation Exceptionelle, shared the vision behind this training, emphasizing the necessity for legal professionals to stay ahead of the curve. “The world is constantly evolving, bringing new challenges and opportunities. The legal landscape is shifting from what was taught in school to what is actively unfolding globally. As professionals, it is crucial that we stay ahead of these trends,” said Dr. Oni.

“This training is designed to help lawyers refine their existing skills while also exploring new areas of law, using real-life cases and scenarios to provide practical, hands-on learning.”

The training aims to address a critical need in the legal sector. According to Dr. Oni, “It is evident that some lawyers still struggle with drafting straightforward contracts or effectively negotiating on behalf of their clients. Mastering these skills goes beyond just reading textbooks—it requires hands-on guidance from industry experts who can teach the nuances of contract drafting. This essential gap is precisely what Formation Exceptionelle is here to address.”

Participants in this training will receive comprehensive insights into the fundamentals and complexities of contract drafting. Key topics include oil and gas agreements, the drafting and negotiation of ship and aircraft documents, and effective due diligence practices. Beyond these technical skills, the event promises unique opportunities for professional networking and peer engagement, complemented by motivational speeches from seasoned industry experts.

This event is a must-attend for legal professionals seeking to enhance their expertise and stay competitive in the ever-evolving legal industry.
