Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

In today's litigation-mad society, business owners and operators can't afford to ignore the always imminent threat of an unexpected legal skirmish, whether warranted or not. Stay Out of Court and In Business, by Stanford University Graduate School of Business professor Steven C. Brandt in conjunction with the Seattle law firm Stafford Frey Cooper, offers an antidote for those who don't have a legal staff of their own. Major problem areas, including harassment and discrimination, are addressed along with managing risk and using attorneys.

From Library Journal

This compact book compiles the top ten legal problems confronting businesses today. Brandt (business, Stanford Univ.) and a Seattle law firm analyze the ins and outs of legal actions for employment discrimination, product liability, unfair trade practices, contract disputes, and intellectual property rights, to name a few. For each area, an overview, summary of the law, and discussion on minimizing the risks of exposure of legal claims is presented. Examples of true-to-life incidents from the modern business arena help to illustrate the principles of law under discussion. Directed toward business managers and supervisors with an emphasis on prevention, the information is effectively articulated.
