This book contains legal background and practical advice for drafting and negotiating many basic contract provisions, such as indemnification, limitations on remedies, and the like. The text is organized and laid out in an easy-to-use format, and the book comes with a CD that includes the template provisions.

The next edition should include a chapter on termination provisions

I purchased this item just to familiarize myself with basic contract terms and the reasoning behind the "boilerplate" that I see and use everyday in my practice. Glad to say it has already paid for itself and I highly recommed this purchase. Obviously no book will tell you how to advise your clients but its another CLE tool any contract attorney can put to use. And for us younger attorneys ...its in english not legalese

If you are involved in drafting "boilerplate" contract terms such as Confidentiality, Force Majeure, Indemnities, and Third Party Beneficiaries then this book will defintely ehance your understanding of the nuances of these important, but often underappreciated, provisions.

For a more general book on contract drafting, I recommend Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Second Edition
