Contracts should reflect business objectives in provisions that are clear, complete, and enforceable. In this course, you will study how various contract concepts relate to each other within a single document and how to approach an agreement with a holistic view.

You will explore how contractual provisions can be modified to allocate various risks to one party or another. This is an important skill; after all, which party will bear which risks in a particular transaction are often the most hotly negotiated terms of a deal. You will examine how to use contract provisions to allocate risk and control among parties to a contract. As a result, you will be better equipped to discuss with your legal team how to anticipate risks through an informed use of those provisions in your contracts.
