Description:
This program covers the skills lawyers need to engineer effective business transactions for their clients as well as the essentials for acquiring, keeping and dealing with clients. To be an effective transactional attorney requires skills that differ from those required to be an effective litigator. Unlike litigation, a business deal is not a confrontational event. It is an undertaking to build an “agree”ment that benefits all parties. Consequently, negotiating and drafting a contract requires unique disciplines. The negotiation must be constructive, seeking to blend differences into consensus. Similarly, drafting a contract differs from other forms of writing. Its object is not to persuade or to convey information or to entertain. A contract is simply a set of instructions, a design for a business relationship or a business deal that if not properly crafted, will provide a playground for litigators. This program will provide the practical knowledge, skills and techniques to help you achieve the goals mentioned above.
