Most lawyers say to their clients: “Get it in writing!” However, a number of lawyers do not know the fundamentals of drafting a binding contract. This course is an introduction for lawyers who are looking to create an agreement from scratch. Attendees will learn the overall structure of a contract and its parts, translating the terms and conditions of the deal into clear and concise provisions, and figuring out where to place each provision into a solid written agreement. In accordance with the CLE Board’s revised Regulations and Guidelines, if you attended this program in the past you may not be permitted to apply the CLE credit for this program to fulfill you current CLE requirements
