Many contracts are typically plagued with ambiguities, inconsistencies, and unintended imprecision from unnecessary legalese.  Such mistakes can render contracts confusing, risky and potentially very costly.

 This “how to” drafting program is filled with techniques and strategies to help you draft and review legal documents with confidence.  With contracts, you don’t get what you deserve; you get what you draft.

 The seminar will focus on:

• Examine the need for contracts in a purchasing context
• Recognize the components of a contract
• Describe the general principles of a contract
• Determine whether specific provisions are required, essential, recommended or optional
• Identify and evaluate risk management techniques
• Contrast and compare international contracts vs domestic contracts
