Free Access to ManuContract for 2 Months
Students of this course will get free access to ManuContract for the duration of the course, i.e for 2 months.
ManuContract is one of India’s most popular and trustworthy tools for contract lifecycle management (CLM) and we believe having access to the platform for 2 months will help students gain familiarity and develop competence in using this excellent resource.
Below is a description of ManuContract taken from their website (and the context behind the same).
Contracts are the cornerstone of any transaction between entities, and are the driving force behind all types of transactions across businesses. The relevance of knowing how to work with contracts is such that it is an independent work profile on its own with specialist professionals in the field. Paying attention to the minutest aspects of a contract is thus vital to ensure a streamlined contract lifecycle.
ManuContract offers an intelligent solution for CLM requirements covering:
- Contract Creation & Negotiation
- Contract Execution & Approval
- Contract Renewals, Adjustments, Extensions and Terminations
- Contract Intelligence (AI-based contract analysis & more)
Lawctopus and ManuContract also conduct joint webinars every 2-3 months. The webinars are around the topics of contract lifecycle management, using ManuContract for the same, etc. and students of this course will have the opportunity to attend those webinars on priority.
