Program Summary

This is a unique two-part foundational course in technology contracting. In Part 1, we will discuss the basics of technology-related agreements (e.g., software licenses, cloud services, development agreements, etc.). Specific contract provisions will be covered, and many real-world examples offered to highlight key points. In Part 2, we will apply the learnings from Part 1 to an actual vendor contract, including the steps for reviewing the contract, how to prepare a thoughtful redline, developing a clause-bank, etc. No prior experience with these types of contracts is required.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Developing a structured approach to vendor contract reviews
  • Common errors
  • Picking your battles
  • Negotiation strategies
