Drafting and Negotiating Corporate Agreements 2023
Practising Law Institute
Learn the basics of drafting and negotiating corporate agreements — from how the provisions of an agreement fit together, to the fundamental drafting and negotiating principles common to all corporate agreements. Our expert faculty will teach you how to reduce your client’s goals to a complete, clearly written and enforceable agreement, and how to identify what issues are most likely to come up in a negotiation of that agreement.
During the Practising Law Institute’s “Universal Issues and Preliminary Documents” panel in New York on November 16, 2022, Mayer Brown partner Jennifer Keating will discuss letters of intent, confidentiality and standstill agreements.
