        • Navigating the Boilerplate – A Discussion of Common Commercial Clauses From a Litigation Perspective

        "Navigating the Boilerplate – A Discussion of Common Commercial Clauses From a Litigation Perspective," co-presented by Ian T. Clarke-Fisher and Brian J. Wheelin, a webinar hosted by Lawline (10/25/2022)

        Often in negotiating commercial contracts, the focus is almost exclusively on the specific deal terms and the parties end up paying little attention to so-called "boilerplate" provisions. The program discussed the dangers of such an imprecise approach in negotiating commercial contracts from a litigation perspective. The presenters explained how certain contractual provisions can have a significant impact if a dispute arises later and reviewed how best to negotiate the client’s needs from those provisions without signaling an expectation of litigation. The presentation addressed common issues in commercial contract disputes, such as limitations of liability, arbitration provisions, indemnification clauses, survival clauses, and forum selection clauses.
