Whether you are in you first few years of practice or have more experience under your belt, LESA’s Commercial Contract Teardown program is designed to benefit you along the spectrum of your career. This program delivers practical strategies for drafting commercial contracts, going beyond a cursory review of standard commercial agreements and diving deep into clauses that can make or break a deal. It is designed to help lawyers identify the “weak spots” in a contract so that their drafted language stands up to new case law and provides protection and value to their clients
We recently spoke to program chair, Douglas H. Peterson, to learn more about what this program covers and why business law practitioners will want to attend. Read on for the top 5 reasons why you should think about setting aside time in your busy schedule to join Douglas and the rest of the faculty on December 11 for this full-day learning opportunity.
- This interactive program engages with a variety of perspectives. You’ll hear from an accountant and a client to gain valuable insight from multiple sides of a business transaction.
- As important as the legal rights of a contract are, it’s equally important to contemplate your client’s goals and draft language that incorporates business considerations. Through the lens of the client, discuss how a contract may intersect with tax, accounting, relationships, and other aspects of a business deal.
- Consider how you can insulate yourself and your clients with airtight contracts that stand up to new case law.
- Dive deep into NDAs, non-competes, and other commercial contracts to ensure your drafted language offers protection and value for your clients.
- This interactive program will highlight potentially vulnerable clauses and discuss the use of plain language.
This program has plenty to offer, and we hope you’ll join us for this instructive continuing education opportunity.
