Breach of Contract: Getting the Benefit of the Bargain

$195.00

Re-Broadcast on August 11, 2017

When everything is going as planned, the first page or two of a contract is all that is needed. When everything goes sideways, that is when the remaining pages of the contract matter. But what is in those pages that no one reads? Why are they the most important part of a contract? And how can you make sure your client gets the benefit of the bargain? This course will look at how the proper drafting of a contract can avoid litigation and actually save a client money when one of the parties is in breach. It will also examine how improper drafting can actually be a detriment to your client in court.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Mutual Expectations and the Theory of Contract
  • Common Contract Disputes and Drafting to Avoid Them
  • Boilerplate and Why It Is Important Not to Just Plagiarize
  • Applicability of the UCC
  • Available Remedies
  • Alternative Dispute Resolution vs. Litigation
  • Pleading Both Breach of Contract/Breach of Quasi Contract
