Companies are working harder than ever to reduce costs through better inventory and supply-chain management. At the same time, economic pressures are putting historic strains on their supply base. This creates the opportunity for supply chain interruptions that can threaten the very existence of a company. This OnDemand Webinar helps the persons responsible for supply chain and purchasing management to understand how to best manage their risk. That risk is managed through the effective understanding of contract negotiation, including the contracting process itself. The program also addresses methods to reduce risk through the use of contractual protections. Finally, having entered a contract, the OnDemand Webinar discusses means of managing the contractual relationship, avoiding common relationship breakdowns and working with suppliers hit hardest by current economic pressures. In a time of stronger inventory management and just-in-time supply relationships, this program is critical for companies to reduce the risks associated with their everyday supply needs.

"While the presentation was excellent, the convenience was outstanding. I downloaded the seminar to my ipod and listened to the whole course during a flight. I obtained 6 hours of ethics credits with no problem and without missing a beat! I highly recommend these seminars to attorneys in states that recognize Advantage."
— Michael Flanagan, Esq.
"I very much enjoyed listening to your course as, unlike other Ethics courses I have attended over my 41 years at the Kennedy Space Center, it focused on actual situations the speaker had dealt with and how the attorney's first responsibility is to his client and not to how much fee he can generate."
— Douglas G. Hendriksen, Esq.
