Overcome error and oversight while drafting and reviewing commercial contracts.

“The agreement must do more than just document the rights and obligations of the parties. It must embody the considerations that induced the purchaser to purchase and the seller to sell the property or the assets that are the subject of the agreement.”
— Barry D. Lipson, Author
