About the Institute of Global Contract Management
A new professional body for global contract managers and negotiators.
Our Mission
The Institute of Global Contract Management exists to democratize access to global contract law and negotiation skills. We provide an affordable, practical alternative to expensive academic programmes that focus on theory rather than real-world application.
Contract managers negotiate global deals every day, yet they're rarely taught how contract clauses actually change across jurisdictions. IGCM fills this critical gap by teaching comparative clause analysis, jurisdiction-specific contract rules, and cross-border risk management.
What Makes IGCM Different
We teach clause-by-clause comparison across 30+ jurisdictions. You'll learn exactly how termination clauses, indemnities, warranties, and governing law provisions work differently in UK, EU, US, UAE, China, India, Africa, and beyond.
GlobalContracts.ai powers our training platform, allowing you to explore how clauses change when you switch governing laws, compare risk profiles, and understand jurisdiction-specific drafting norms.
Our learning materials prioritize accessibility with generous line spacing, clear headings, readable fonts (16-18px base), and structured content designed for all learners, including those with dyslexia.
We focus on skills you'll use immediately: negotiating cross-border deals, choosing governing law, understanding dispute resolution options, and managing contract risk across legal systems.
