Rock-solid strategies from a highly experienced panel of judges and practitioners!

As an attorney, it’s important to know how to draft clear, effective and most importantly, rock-solid contracts that stand up to scrutiny and keep your clients out of difficult situations. Whether you are highly experienced or are just starting out, there are key strategies that can save time, money, and aggravation, and can give you the confidence you need to avoid future litigation (and other problems.)

Are your contracts “bulletproof?”
Do you know how to spot all the ambiguous language that can lead to costly and time-consuming litigation?
Are your clients protected from other issues that can lead to future litigation?

Don’t miss this unparalleled opportunity to learn from a panel of retired judges and expert practitioners as they take you through the most important aspects of the law – and protocols – surrounding contract drafting and negotiation. You’ll learn easy to implement strategies to quickly identify some of the most frequent and common contract drafting problems…as well as how to avoid them altogether. You’ll also reeive a PDF of a practical handbook filled with examples and strategies that you can refer back to in your practice.

TOPICS INCLUDE:

  • Harmonizing multiple contract documents
  • Settlement agreements in the heat of litigation - strategies for drafting unambiguous settlement agreements so that your clients avoid new ground for litigation
  • Drafting Arbitration Agreements
  • Effect of contract language on equitable remedies such as specific performance
  • Drafting intellectual property agreements
