Drafting Information Technology Agreements

673IT | 3.0 credits

Description

This hands-on course will train students in how to analyze information technology transactions and draft contracts to memorialize those transactions. The course will take a detailed look at all of the important aspects of contract drafting. Common provisions used in IT agreements will be reviewed in detail, particularly those standard, "boilerplate" terms that many lawyers have a tendency to skip. Actual IT contracts in use today will be dissected and students will be given ample opportunities to draft clauses, sections of contracts, and eventually an entire agreement. Guest speakers will discuss applicable UK and EU laws and their impact on "standard" provisions in contracts drafted for the U.S. market.
