Contract Drafting: Beyond the Basics

Wednesday, March 8, 2017| 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

 

PROGRAM INSTRUCTOR   Daniel L. Forman Proskauer Rose LLP

 

  • This course builds upon the success of the introductory course on basic drafting concepts presented earlier this year and includes the following topics: a recap of the building blocks, formulas, attachments to contracts, precision, ambiguities relating to modifiers and qualifiers, contract-interpretation principles and the “boilerplate” provisions in contracts. Designed to convey fundamental—but often unconsidered—principles, this course will assist both newly admitted and seasoned attorneys with drafting, analyzing, and interpreting contracts. Unlike many other contract-drafting courses, the program will focus on the manner in which concepts are expressed in a contract, rather than any particular type of contract.
