Businesses engage in an immense variety of activities: selling hamburgers, launching satellites, leasing office space, developing new medicines, sponsoring professional golfers, delivering furniture, educating children, and so on—the list is unimaginably diverse and spans nearly every facet of modern life. Common to all businesses, however, is the need to enter into and operate in accordance with written agreements providing the framework for how companies interact with their customers, suppliers, agents, employees, investors, and other business partners. The purpose of this InfoPAK is to provide inside counsel who may not have an extensive background in the documentation of commercial transactions with a high-level overview of some best practices for drafting and interpreting contracts under U.S. law.
