Overview:
Refresh Your Memory and Understanding of Core Legal Principles
You learned the basics of business law back in law school: you know that providing for indemnities and damages in your contracts protects your client and is vital to every commercial agreement. But those provisions can be diff icult to read, which oft en results in use of “boilerplate” language that is not tailored to a specific agreement. Failure to pay proper attention to terms, however, can lead to painful surprises down the road. Many years and many clients later, a quick reminder of those “nuts and bolts” principles would be a help. Designed to reinforce the foundation on which you have built your practice, this program will refresh your memory and understanding of the fundamentals concepts to ensure that what you put into your contracts functions exactly as intended.
