Reviewing contracts can be more of a burden than drafting. Let's discuss!
Join Ken Adams, the internationally recognized authority on the building blocks of contract language, as we explore contract review strategies and best practices.
If you draft the contracts for, say, ten different deals of a certain kind, each time it’s just a matter of your making suitable adjustments to your template. But if the counterparties are responsible for preparing the contracts, you would be faced with reviewing ten different and unfamiliar drafts-a more burdensome task.
In this webinar, Ken Adams discusses the two aspects of reviewing the other side’s draft contract-making sure it’s clear and making sure it reflects the transaction as you understand it. To illustrate these general principles, he considers examples drawn from draft confidentiality agreements. He also considers the benefits of automated review of draft contracts, which can act as an extra set of eyes.
