Your client signs a purchase order and the other party sends an invoice with additional or negating terms.  When a dispute arises, the battle is not always won by the party who fired the "last shot", that is, the last party to put forward terms and conditions that were not explicitly rejected by the recipient.  Whether it’s boilerplate or material terms, a dispute over a battle of the forms is very common and the downside can be substantial.   Evan Lechtman and Heidi Crikelair, Partners at Blank Rome, and Daniel Oberdick, Senior Counsel - Litigation at Brenntag, will discuss ways to help your company avoid litigation and mitigate the risk of having your form contracts and its material terms being disputed or rendered null.
