The effectiveness or ineffectiveness of a “boilerplate” provision can be outcome determinative. The contested clause could be a choice-of-law clause, a consent to jurisdiction, restrictions on assignment, arbitration provisions, choice-of-forum clauses, third-party beneficiaries, risk allocation, and many other terms. The best way to draft these provisions is to understand the law that governs them. This program will review the underlying law and provide examples of how to draft these provisions.
