Fundamental Concepts in Contract Drafting

Using settled case law as the foundation, walk through the key considerations and steps in drafting and executing contracts, from early considerations given and received, to the consent, delivery, and execution of an enforceable contract. In addition, understand when and why certain concepts and provisions should be included and how best to operationalize them, including protection of IP and confidential information, insurance coverage provisions, non-compete provisions, dispute resolution provisions, limits on liability, and the construction and scope of boilerplate language.
