Overview

This program has two parts. The first part examines the disciplines required to prepare contracts that will place commercial litigators on the endangered species list. Beginning with a definition of what a contract really is - simply a set of instructions  -  the program then proceeds to treat the various aspects of contract preparation required to prepare a litigation-proof agreement. 

The second part of the program examines the preparation and negotiation of several contracts and contract provisions including, among others, letters of intent and term sheets; confidentiality agreements; shareholder arrangements; options; and non-competes clauses, including the FTC rule banning them in employment contracts. 

Recent graduates of law schools should find this program worthwhile, as the neglect by law schools of the disciplines required to write a proper contract is shameful. 


Learning Objectives:

  1. Offer ways to avoid ambiguity and other pitfalls that plague all who write contacts

  2. Examine the dangers when amending contracts and using forms, including boilerplate

  3. Address the concerns attendant to, and the negotiation and drafting of, warranties and indemnities as well as those documents and clauses mentioned above
