Suboptimal drafting wastes everyone’s time. Can your company’s contracts be drafted more clearly, with fewer words, so they can be read and understood in less time?

Developed with the transactional attorney or corporate generalist in mind, this session will provide you with the fundamentals to draft and negotiate legally enforceable environmental terms and conditions for the purchase of real property and the sale of an on-going concern with environmental liabilities.

From this program, you will be able to draft and negotiate environmental terms in a contract without being forced to go to outside counsel for assistance.

Is arbitration too expensive? Does mediation prior to litigation simply delay the inevitable? Are executive escalation clauses just a waste of time? Not necessarily. A skillfully worded ADR clause in your contract - drafted before any dispute arises - can address these and virtually any other objection any party might have to alternative dispute resolution. This panel will draw on years of experience with ADR clauses, effective and otherwise, to provide you with broad negotiation strategies and specific contract clauses to help you save you time, money and effort in your next dispute.

Negotiating transactions is one of the functions that in-house counsel must perform well. In fact, a good negotiation can make the difference between getting the most and getting a so-so outcome for your business client. Negotiating contracts is a key component of practicing in-house, and offering your client and the other side well-drafted contract provisions can reduce the time and effort spent negotiating.
