Gestão de contratos empresariais : princípios, definição de riscos e limitação de responsabilidade.

Abstract

The present monographic work addresses the theme of business contract management, focusing on the theoretical aspects of contract law, particularly regarding risk identification and the limitation of liabilities in business relations. This monograph aims to analyze how contract management can serve as an instrument for preventing litigation, mitigating financial losses, and protecting the corporate image of companies. In this regard, the general objective of this dissertation is to investigate the relevance of business contract management as a strategic tool for risk reduction, litigation prevention, and the preservation of legal certainty, while its specific objectives are: to examine the theoretical foundations of contract law, to consolidate the concept of contractual risks in business relations, and to evaluate the consequences of inadequate contract drafting on business stability and corporate reputation. This study seeks to answer the following research problem: to what extent can proper contract management, encompassing drafting, formalization, and risk identification, be effective in reducing business vulnerability and ensuring legal protection? To address this task, the study employs the method of bibliographic research and qualitative analysis, based on specialized legal doctrine, legislation, and statistical data on contractual litigation. Finally, it can be stated that adequate business contract management should not be understood as a mere bureaucratic formality, but rather as an essential instrument of corporate governance and the de-judicialization of business relations, ensuring predictability, legal security, and the protection of companies’ institutional image in the contemporary market.
