Learning Objective

  • To explain the importance of precise terms.
  • To know when to use form contracts and boilerplate.
  • To identify the best dispute resolution clause for your contract.

Course Overview

This course is all-purpose and provides useful insights that go beyond particular professional fields. Although this course is open to tax professionals like EA, MRTP, and ORTP, it does not qualify for CE credits.

The foundation for every legal relationship between two or more parties is established based on a contract. Drafting of a contract is the step-by-step inclusion of specific clauses, terms, and conditions that are expressed as per the needs and wants of the party/parties to the contract.

This webinar presents the process for preparing clear and legally enforceable contracts.  We start by discussing general drafting principles.  These include the need to use precise language, removal of unnecessary words and outdated legalese, definition of terms, use of capitalization, and the dangers of synonyms.  We also cover proper sentence structure, punctuation, and formatting tips.  The webinar will review the use of boilerplate terms and provisions, including the pros and costs of using them.  We also review how and when to use form contracts.

Key topics discussed in this CPE Business Law Course:

  • Enhance contract enforceability through effective drafting techniques for court and best practices regarding frequent contract attachments
  • Different types of pricing models can be used in contracts, and making documents effective by defining key areas. 
  • Best practices for change modification and identifying risks with “unilateral modification” language.
  • Review the idea of tiered dispute resolution provisions.
  • Discuss the meaning of indemnification and discuss the types of clauses often used in contracts.
  • A litigator’s perspective on dispute resolution clauses, including a discussion of when arbitration is a better option than litigation.

This course will conclude with advice on what to do when contract disputes do emerge, including the proper time to get legal counsel involved, when to implement a litigation hold, and the value of Early Case Assessment.

Join us for an engaging and insightful webinar as we unlock the secrets to crafting contracts that are clear, legally enforceable, and designed to protect your business's interests.
