Effective Contract Drafting

Although most lawyers spend their careers working with contracts, the vast majority of lawyers are never taught to draft contracts in law school. (Imagine surgeons not learning the basics of surgery in medical school.)

In this course, you will develop the skills to effectively draft, review and negotiate English language contract provisions. More importantly, you will improve your ability to translate complex contract terminology into explanations easily understandable to your business colleagues.

Main Benefits

After the course, you will be able to do the following:

• Confidently draft professional English provisions, reducing the need to rely on templates.
• Effectively manage the linguistic and legal complexities of Anglo-Saxon contracts.
• Skilfully impress your business colleagues by being able to transform frustratingly complex legal terminology into business-ready instructions.

Sample Topics

• How to identify and utilize the basic components of contract provisions to quickly assemble professional provisions.
• How to work with the magical contract terminology that can dramatically transform your provisions (e.g. materiality, reasonableness).
• How to efficiently navigate and review common contract sections.
