Like previous editions of this landmark title, the Third Edition of Drafting Contracts: How and Why Lawyers Do What They Do, emphasizes the importance of accurately memorializing the business deal while also advancing your client's interests. New co-author Monica Llorente builds on the foundation and insights of Tina Stark's landmark text with detailed introductions to the six building blocks for drafting contracts that pave the way for understanding any type of business contract. Reader-friendly text illustrated by examples and sample provisions demonstrates the mechanics, strategy, and precision of real-world contract drafting. In line with Tina Stark's legacy of building a bridge between law school and practice, co-author Monica Llorente solicited significant input from law professors, practitioners, and law students in the course of her work on the Third Edition.
