Contract Drafting Essentials: Structuring, Analyzing, and Interpreting Business Agreements

About the Course

Introduction

This CLE course will guide business counsel on identifying and avoiding potentially costly pitfalls in drafting contracts. The panel will offer best practices for structuring, analyzing, and interpreting business agreements.

Description

How key concepts are expressed in business contracts is often as important as the concepts themselves. Solid contract drafting skills are essential for any practitioner involved in transactions or business relationships.

Many contracts--even those developed by experienced counsel and relating to prominent transactions--are typically plagued with ambiguities, inconsistencies, unintended imprecision, and "bloat" from unnecessary legalese. Such mistakes can render contracts confusing, risky, and potentially very costly.

Listen as our authoritative panel reviews fundamental but often overlooked skills essential to drafting contracts. The panel will explain how to draft contract provisions to reduce costs and risks for businesses.
