Transactional Practice: An Overview

Tuesday, February 23, 2010
6:00 - 7:30 pm, Vanderbilt Hall (40 Washington Square South), Room 220

Speaker: Charles Fox, founder of Fox Professional Development LLC, and former partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP.

Learning law by reading cases prepares the law student to litigate cases. What about law students who plan to go into a transactional practice? They start out at a clear disadvantage. In this lecture, Charles Fox, a lawyer with twenty-two years of deal experience (including fourteen as a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP), and the author of the leading book on contract practice, Working with Contracts: What Law School Doesn’t Teach You, covers some of the basics of getting deals done, including structuring the transaction, conducting due diligence, drafting the contracts, managing the interplay between business and legal issues, and closing the deal.

Free pizza and refreshments will be provided.

Please RSVP by email to: ander.valverde@law.nyu.edu

Sponsored by the Law and Business Association and the NYU Journal of Law & Business.
