Lawyers do it all too frequently: we cut and paste so-called “boiler-plate” contract language from past contracts that we’ve written or from ones that we’ve reviewed and many times we include entire sections because such sections have always been included. After a while, we forget why the language is there and, unfortunately, fail to realize that it may no longer be appropriate or is contradicted by other language in the contract. Join Roger Lane, Courtney Worcester, and Michael Thompson as they review typical contract language (including choice of law provisions, arbitration clauses and more), explain what can go wrong with boilerplate provisions, and offer practical suggestions for what should be included or considered when drafting or reviewing these provisions.
