[On Demand] What are You Signing? Reading & Understanding Contract Terms

[On Demand] What are You Signing? Reading & Understanding Contract Terms

Webinar Description

We all sign dozens of contracts in our daily life – and businesspeople sign even more. Yet sometimes there is a disconnect between what we think we are signing and what it means to our attorneys.

This class will focus on reading and understanding some common contract clauses that businesspeople often encounter. These are clauses common in many contracts, from employment agreements to purchase orders. They include termination clauses, choice of law clauses, dispute resolution clauses, indemnification clauses, and more.

Note: THIS IS NOT A DRAFTING CLASS.

By the end of this class, you will be more comfortable knowing what you are signing.
