This program has two parts. The first part examines the disciplines required to prepare contracts that will place commercial litigators on the endangered species list. Beginning with a definition of what a contract really is -- simply a set of instructions - - the program then proceeds to treat the various aspects of contract preparation required to prepare a litigation-proof agreement.
The second part of the program examines the preparation and negotiation of several contracts and contract provisions including, among others, letters of intent and term sheets; confidentiality agreements; shareholder arrangements; options; and non-compete clauses, including the FTC rule banning them in employment contacts.
Recent graduates of law schools should find this program worthwhile, as the neglect by law schools of the disciplines required to write a proper contract is shameful.
