Who:

This seminar will be beneficial to those that have previously attended the Property Trades, Acquisitions and Divestments course.

What:

This one day course will primarily be a review of the annotated 2000 CAPL Property Procedure and will discuss some sample case studies. Participants will learn about this new procedure from its principal draftsman. The 2000 CAPL Property Transfer Procedure was created by a crossfunctional team comprised of representatives of CAPL, CAPLA, PASC, PJVA, SEPAC and the legal community, and has received a high degree of positive industry comment and support. This document has been designed to focus the negotiating effort on the major business terms of the transaction, and users are expected to amend the document to address special needs, corporate preferences or other modifications that may be appropriate for their particular circumstances. The focus on the conceptual elements of industry’s P&S type agreements would be of benefit to any personnel who work with these types of agreements.
