This practice-oriented course will introduce students to contract drafting skills using a variety of transactional documents, with a focus on contracts that are commonly encountered in the tech industry, ranging from short nondisclosure agreements to complex Software as a Service (SaaS) agreements and licenses. Working individually and in small groups, students will gain experience translating business objectives into clear, precise, and enforceable contract terms. Assignments and in-class exercises will address adapting form agreements, drafting new documents, conducting due diligence, counseling clients, and negotiating deal terms. The course will focus primarily on general principles, but will also introduce special issues and market practices concerning intellectual property and privacy terms.
