Avoiding a Mess! Part II: Why Business Lawyers Should Call Litigators before the Contract Is Executed
Program Number: 2305
Program Date: 02/27/2013
Description
Transactional attorneys have their litigation colleagues on speed dial when their clients want out of a contract or when the other side wants out. Often times, however, litigators are not involved until that point. Join Matthew Karlyn (transactional partner) and Courtney Worcester (litigator) as they continue their discussion of why a team effort early on in the process of reviewing and drafting contracts provides the best protection and long-term value for clients. Using real life examples of contract provisions, they provide helpful drafting tips and cautionary tales to protect your clients under a variety of circumstances.
