Wednesday, 30 April 2025 | 1:00 PM EDT (5:00 PM GMT)
Contract negotiations are a vital part of doing business, but require not only a high level understanding of your overall organization and its goals, but also a understanding of the legal and ethical implications of signing on to partner with, or represent, another entity.
