How will that contract you just drafted stand up to the scrutiny of a judge or jury? Each year, some of the largest jury verdicts in the United States are awarded in breach-of-contract cases. Panelists will discuss lessons learned from trying contract cases to help you evaluate, prepare for and win contract-related litigation. Topics will include unique issues that arise in trying contract claims, how commonly used contractual clauses can backfire at trial, minimizing risk in contract drafting and negotiation, restricting application of fiduciary duty and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, third-party vendor liability and damages.
