Contracts In Limine: When Trial Lawyers Become Transaction Lawyers
Co-sponsored by The Colorado Bar Association Litigation Section
Program Description:
You've reached what you think is a stipulation or a final settlement. You wouldn't want to litigate the agreement itself. In this 90 minute CLE program, you will study problems and solutions that arise when you draft agreements in the course of litigation.
This program is for all litigators who want to improve their contract drafting skills and to better represent their clients when it comes to documents.
Your presenters are fellow litigators who have struggled with the same issues that you have struggled with when it comes to drafting settlement documents and more. They will use real world examples and case law, and provide you with invaluable pointers and information to get you on your way to better representation of your litigation clients. You will pick up tips, ideas, and insights. This program is about the art of document drafting from a trial lawyer perspective.
Register and no longer feel like a fish out of water when it comes to drafting documents!
