Thank you for joining us for What the Best Lawyers Know: An Advanced Contract Drafting CLE!

Description

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.
