The commercial contracting landscape is being rewritten in real time. This free continuing legal education course will explore the strategies that in-house counsel need to know to excel at contract negotiation and how to use the best AI tools to aid contracting and document management.

Part 1 – Negotiation Strategies: AI is evolving faster than the rules that govern it. In-house counsel are under pressure to close deals quickly while navigating an ever-changing compliance landscape as well as complex global regulations and new local conflicts. In part 1, we explore strategies that enable attendees to obtain better contract outcomes by leveraging cross-functional expertise, anticipating multi-year challenges, and navigating high-stakes provisions like liability, indemnification, and data use.

Part 2 – Contract Management: Increasingly, in-house counsel face what what often seem like unreasonable deadlines. Part 2 will give participants an overview of the types of AI-enabled tools on the market, how these tools can aid negotiation, and what to avoid in negotiations and document management.
