LECTURE SERIES IN CONTRACT DRAFTING – STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
“Greetings to all, I am Shabin Ashfarah Khondaker, a novice Lawyer from Dhaka, Bangladesh and currently
working as an in- house lawyer for a leading Pharmaceutical Company of our Country. It would not be an
exaggeration to say „LECTURE SERIES ON CONTRACT DRAFTING‟ completely fulfills my professional pursuits and
personal endeavors. The Faculties are very supportive and the knowledge and experience shared by them meet
my queries for which I was persistently looking for suitable answer. This course curriculum designed in a way to
meet practical needs and well equipped. The resources supplied and exercises took place assist to build pragmatic
understanding over the issues discussed. For me this course provides an unparalleled opportunity to measure and
solidify my academic and practical experiences through an accepted parameter. In addition the online learning
platform is very user-friendly, any technical problems are solved promptly and efficiently and moreover access on
the recorded sessions is the inbuilt flexibility which I much appreciate. Finally I express my heartfelt thanks to
„Thomson Reuters‟ and „SILF‟ to understand the need and to organize the course and to „Edutime Global
Knowledge‟ for their incessant care to my concerns”. – SHABIN ASHFARAH KHONDAKER, Beximco
Pharmaceuticals LTD., Dhaka, Bangladesh
“The lecture series on contract drafting program is by far the best experience of online teaching I have ever had.
The teachers are highly qualified , clarify each and every query and more so speak slowly and clearly making
learning cogent. The support system is also very cordial and always responds to the queries put either by phone
call or email. I would like to thus, thank and congratulate Edutime Global , SILF and especially Thomson Reuters
for offering and successfully putting up this spectacular program ; relating to a subject topic which has immense
importance in legal practice” – AADITYA ARORA, National Law University, Delhi
Choosing EduTime Global Knowledge as an online platform to learn contract drafting was similar to studying in a
classroom in my logistics lectures. The lectures and tutorials are interesting and academically stimulating, and
applied to real-world case studies, which is extremely useful. I find lecture materials very helpful to give me a
thorough understanding of a wide sphere of drafting a contract concisely and focus on what is wise, accurate, and
appropriate for drafting a contract. The pre-loaded materials before each session were great help in understanding
the ongoing lectures. The fact that we can download all the materials from the site was also innovative. The
recorded sessions also helped in case we missed any lecture. I enrolled for foundation course only, but it provided
me with an extensive knowledge of the topic. I would like to thank EduTime Global Knowledge, SILF and Thomson
Reuters for offering such a great course and congratulate them on their success.
SHIVANI KUMARI, 4th year, School of Law, KIIT University,Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
“This is my first online program. Lecturers explains and share much more informations related to syllabus with
regard to practical applicability either in Courts as well in Corporate atmosphere. Initially during enrollment I had
some feeling whether am i wasting my time, but now i am confident that it is going to be lot more potential than
what i think. Thanks TR for such a wonderful program” – C.NAREN, Advocate, Madras High Court, Chennai
“I find the course to be Interesting and Enlightening. Its best feature is that it deals more with the practical
application of knowledge than just imparting bookish information.” – ANTRIKSH MISHRA, IIT Kharagpur,
“LSCD program is really well structured and well organised by the Edutime team. The post classes support system
is really helpful in keeping a touch with the teachings” – NAMAN, National Law University, Cuttack, Odisha
“The course, I must say, has been very carefully structured and is educationally quite insightful in itself. The sole
issue though, which I believe the course participants have faced, is that the course is being conducted during
months and amidst a time when most of the law schools conduct their end semester examinations, which hinders
our participation in the course. Therefore, speaking for myself, I‟d suggest that keeping courses during
November-December, and May-June would be quite suited to students, at least to those belonging to my
institution, i.e. Gujarat National Law University. Otherwise the course is brilliant, and I shall be looking forward to
diversified online courses by Reuters on varied subjects” – SHIVANSH JOLLY, Gujarat National Law
University, Gandhinagar
“The lecture series is going very good and is quiet informative. faculty is also very good” – HARENDRA,
Waterhealth India Private Limited, Hyderabad, Telangana
SOCIETY OF INDIAN LAW FIRMS
(SILF)
“I really enjoyed the information supplied, and also the structure of LSCD programme. The course exceeded my
expectations in many regards — especially in the depth of information supplied and the access to the recorded
sessions for future reference. I like the fact that we were able to download the entire course content for future
readings as it was impossible for me to read all the content during the course timeframe. Furthermore, the preloaded materials before each live session was a unique idea that help me a lot in getting the concepts easily. I
really liked the combination of tutorials, exercises, and on-your-own assignments. Great course and instructors
was very knowledgeable and helpful. One thing that impressed me about Online-Learning is if I have a question,
there is always a quick response. The platform used was just awesome and easy to use! I think, I made a correct
choice by opting for the course” – ABHISHEK CHOUDHARY, SOA National Institute of Law, Bhubaneswar
“I am a first year law student of SLC law college, Bangalore and I have recently cleared CS- Professional stage. I
have joined the Foundational lecture series in contract drafting. I highly recommend this series to any one who is
interested to develop their drafting skills. It is not just any other online course, but is highly oriented on case
studies and drafting exercises and the lecturers invite active discussion and debate from the participants. Preread materials are provided before the classes and professionals form Thomson Reuters are always available to
give you any help necessary. Highly recommended for professionals like Company Secretaries, who would like to
expand their knowledge base and sharpen their drafting skills in areas like IT service contracts, Arbitration etc” –
CLINT SHAJI, Seshadripuram Law College, Bangalore
“The sessions are very interesting. The faculty are good and are explaining the subject clearly providing the
clarifications for all the questions” – PULKIT PAHUJA, Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab,
“The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement and it is this course that has helped me improve and
grow as an individual. Today you are not rewarded for what and how much you know but what you can do with
that knowledge. This foundational course has atleast helped me gain practical insight into the world of contracts.
It is truly learning enriching experience. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity”. – SARTHAK VIDYARTHI,
National Law University, Delhi
“It caught my attention when I first heard about this program. Then I applied for this contract drafting program.
Its really awesome. The platform is superb for beginners like us.Every day we are taught superbly about the little
things of contract drafting. I have a lot of doubts really regarding contract drafting, but now its solved, thanks to
the professors there. I missed a couple of sessions, but the recorded sessions really helped me. The arbitration
session on 19.10.2014 really helped me in my memo. Thank u once again for this wonderful opportunity to learn
on contract drafting”. - PRAMIT ROY CHOWDHURY, IIT Kharagpur-Rajiv Gandhi School Of Intellectual
Property Law
“This lecture series is helping my fundamentals about contract drafting and the dispute resolution class was a
good knowledge acquiring class knowing a lot about arbitration and overall the classes are good, the technical
support is best and the lectures are helping me a lot and thanks to the organizers for arranging this series for
students”. – SOUMYA SOURAV ROUT, SOA National Institute of Law, Bhubaneswar, Odisha
"The Lecture Series is a brilliant initiative not only because it goes back to the very foundation and the roots of
Contract drafting, but also because every session is taken up by reputed and esteemed faculty having diversified
theoretical and practical knowledge of the subject topic. I would recommend the foundation course for anyone
who would want to strengthen his/her basics of contract law and drafting." ANANT GUPTA, National Law
University Odisha, Cuttack, Odisha
“I decided to register for the Contract drafting course after much research and review of other such types of
training provided by various groups in the country. I felt, even before attending the course, that I had made the
right decision. That feeling was fully justified after completing the entire foundation course on Contract drafting. I
have attended a number of seminars, conferences in the last few years and none have compared to the breadth
and quality of the information/content provided in this programme. Delivery of actual scenarios by real time
practitioners of contract drafting proved an eye opener for me, because it had so many dimensions above merely
informative. In my opinion this is a game changing programme. Choice of faculties was also best. Specially to
mention the class of Vaji raghunathan was excellent as she was engaging and superbly informative. V.SENTHIL
KUMAR, Senior Manager-Legal & Compliance, Omega Healthcare Services Pvt.Ltd.Bangalore.

Message from Mr. Arvind Pachhapur,
Country Head - Legal
Thomson Reuters India
A solid understanding of contract drafting is
an essential skill. Writing a perfect contract
involves determining and pre-empting the
potential problems that might come up in
relation to the contract and mitigating risks
through a deeper understanding of the
nuances of contractual arrangement The
LSCD is designed to meet the needs of
professionals for contract drafting,
negotiations and dispute resolution.
Message from Mr. Lalit Bhasin,
President of the Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF)
The legal services market in India has witnessed tremendous growth over the past two decades. However,
one of the constraints in furthering this growth has been the availability of trained manpower, and the need
for law professionals with the right combination of practical skills to be effective contributors.
The Lecture Series on Contract Drafting is a step taken by SILF to help its member firms & legal employers
access a trained pool of professionals having exposure to practical skills of drafting, negotiations and dispute
resolution. The lecture series covers all contemporary topics like arbitration and is being delivered by
practitioners having many years of experience.
