Contract Drafting for the Finance Lawyer

Catalog description

This course is an upper-level practical skills writing course that teaches basic contract concepts, drafting and analysis in the context of a general commercial finance transaction. The course will introduce students to business, finance and legal concepts through the use of a hypothetical loan transaction and will take an interdisciplinary approach, combining key concepts from finance, accounting and various areas of law, including the UCC, bankruptcy law, tax law and securities law, to help students bridge the gap between being a lawyer in the world of finance and a scrivener. The concepts and principles learned, however, will apply to other general commercial finance transactions. Co-requisite: Law 210, Business Associations.
