Why Listen to Me: I've practiced as a Corporate Associate at a Vault top 10 law firm in NY and the best firm in New Jersey. I've practiced in Capital Markets, Mergers & Acquisitions and Private Equity groups. I've also reviewed, analyzed and summarized countless contracts. I have drafted some ancillary agreements but wanted to bolster my drafting know-how and this book was perfect to help me do that.
The Examples: Some other reviewers have complained that the examples are skewed towards debt financing and real estate agreements, but I didn't find that to be the case. I thought they were varied enough to be able to apply whatever principle that was being exemplified to real life situations, but then again, I've done this before to some degree so it was easier for me to envision how certain principles applied to what I had seen at work and what I may see later.
The Recommendation: If I was a partner in charge of training associates, I would make this mandatory reading. Although, I have the benefit of 3.5 years of experience and many concepts were already familiar to me, had I read this book prior to practicing, it would have prevented many mistakes and allowed me a greater chance to excel from the get-go. Charles M. Fox (the author) is a great writer and he does an amazing job of explaining complex concepts and making it accessible to everyone. The book is not long but covers a great amount of material. It is also indexed well so you can jump to any section you wish. I have already marked, underlined and annotated this book on pretty much every page. I am certain I will return to it many times as I continue to practice corporate law.
Disclaimer: I did not receive this product in exchange for a positive review and I do not know the author personally. I am simply sharing my thoughts on what I think is an excellent primer for those practicing in this arena.
The author is knowledgeable and his tips are practical.
I have rated this 4/5 stars as there was a portion on securities/loan drafting, which, while useful for someone in that industry, was not useful for me. It unfortunately took up a large portion of the book.
Otherwise, this was an excellent book and would whole-heatedly recommend.

筆者は弁護士ではないため、内容のレベル感は分からないが、普段から外国法務に接するものとしてありがたい一冊。ドラフトの修正の仕方から始まり、まさに研修のようだ。日々の業務で考えるためのマインドセットをされた気分。また、「reasonability」をはじめ、よく使用される概念などが各プロセスの注意事項として記載され、内容も網羅的であるため、知識の習得にも役立つ。
本書は翻訳も出ているが、結局本書を買うことになった。社内で説明するためには、対応する日本語を知る必要があるが、たまに翻訳に惑わされ、戸惑うことがあったためである。英語のレベルとしては平易であり、非常に読みやすい。おススメの一冊。
結果的に二重投資になってしまったが翻訳版の該当箇所に手早く目を通した上で英語の用語・表現を原書で入念にチェックするといった作業を通じて出費に見合った効用は得ている。
