Gain an understanding of how to draft, revise and negotiate key contract terms that can positively impact your business operations.
Every day across America, lawyers are drafting contractual provisions in purchase agreements that won't be enforced because they weren't drafted correctly. The law governing purchase agreements is teeming with traps for the unwary, and common drafting mistakes expose your clients to untold, unnecessary risk. In this intense, jam-packed topic, the attorney who updates the landmark contract law treatise Corbin on Contracts (cited by judicial decisions across America in excess of 10,000 times) will guide you through a multitude of purchasing agreement provisions and show you how to navigate around the drafting landmines. If you deal with purchasing agreements in your practice, whether a lot or a little, you do not want to miss this.
