LAW70460 - Contracts Drafting(1 unit)
Students will learn how to consider and understand a business deal, how to use contract concepts to accurately reflect the understanding of the parties, and how to use contract concepts to protect the interest of a particular party.

Documents reviewed or drafted will include typical transactional documents, such as employment agreements, leases, or asset purchases. Assignments may also include ancillary transactional documents such as Letters of Intent, Term Sheets, and Nondisclosure Agreements.
