About the Webinar

Are all commercial agreements a variation on a theme? Are you guilty of grabbing the latest precedent and just changing the names? Does length of an agreement influence your fees? The art of drafting commercial agreements seems to have been lost in the fast pace of day-to-day practice, unrealistic client demands and easy precedent access. This session will go back to basics and provide a guide to drafting sound, meaningful and fit for purpose agreements, including:

  • Planning and preparation for drafting a commercial agreement: what does your client want and how are you going to give it to them?
  • Characteristics of a well drafted agreement
  • Finding the balance between too much and too little in agreement content
  • How essential are boiler plate clauses in the scheme of things? Are they just thrown in for good measure?
  • The top ten tips for drafting a good commercial agreement
  • Perfecting perfection – a guide to developing and improving drafting skills
