When a lawyer reviews or drafts a contract, he or she may be unsure what a particular provision means, how it impacts the client or how to revise it. One of the drafter's primary responsibilities in drafting a contract is to ensure that the client accepts an appropriate degree of risk for the circumstances.
The purpose of this program is to explain what the best transactional lawyers know about risk- and liability-shifting provisions, including:
- 7 simple steps for analyzing any complicated contractual provision
- 5 things every contract drafter should understand about risk
- How to determine the appropriate degree of risk in a contract

- How to shift risk from one party to the other

Explore these advanced contracting elements with this three-hour CLE taught by contracts expert Lenné Espenschied.
