Responding to the call to place more emphasis on practical skills,
Contracts and Commercial Transactions is a groundbreaking text that
immerses the reader in real agreements made between sophisticated parties--so
the reader can develop the ability to read, understand, and draft contracts
effectively.
Drawing upon their collective experiences in the classroom and the boardroom
as well as in law-firm and in-house practice, authors David Zarfes and
Michael L. Bloom, in Contracts and Commercial Transactions,
explore actual agreements between sophisticated parties. Along the way, they
teach the reader to read and understand contracts, with an emphasis on how a
decision maker--be it a judge, arbitrator, corporate executive, or senior
partner--might later understand those same contracts.
Contracts and Commercial Transactions features: -
Actual agreements, formatted as whole documents, that support the
exercise of contract reading and analysis
- Insight and advice from expert practitioners, from law firms such as Sidley
Austin and Simpson Thacher and companies such as Microsoft and JPMorgan Chase
, that emphasize the realities of legal practice from the perspective of "real-world" lawyers
- Explanations and analysis from esteemed academics, at law schools such as
Chicago and NYU, that explain the nuances of legal matters that pertain to
contractual documents
- Focus points that preface each contract highlight key aspects of the
document
- Methodical and repeated exposure to provisions that teach the reader to
recognize and understand contractual concepts
- A consistent emphasis on the "building block" provisions typically found in
contractsDrafting tips integrated throughout the book
