CONTRACT DRAFTING AND NEGOTIATION

PAUL A. SWEGLE

From Amazon:

Author and attorney Paul Swegle has spent much of his career working closely with business colleagues in companies across several industries to negotiate and document commercial arrangements - contracts that have supported the design, development, launch, distribution and marketing of countless products and services.

In doing so, Paul has witnessed and celebrated countless successful commercial relationships, some lasting more than a decade. He has also learned important lessons from myriad ill-fated relationships, tripped up by poorly written agreements, under-performing commercial partners and unexpected surprises of nearly every variety.

Paul's book presents practical insights accumulated and shared with business colleagues over a 20-year period. Its purpose is to help business persons negotiate agreements that achieve their business goals without creating unexpected and unnecessary risks and liabilities. Paul’s guidance emphasizes mindfulness of the balance between protecting key interests while still getting important deals done.

Paul has served as in-house general counsel to sixteen different companies across many industries. He is also the author of Startup Law and Fundraising for Entrepreneurs and Startup Advisors, a leading business law and finance text used in law and MBA schools across the U.S. Paul worked previously in the SEC’s Enforcement Division and its Division of Corporation Finance, and also served as a Special Assistant United States Attorney. Paul gives talks around the country on startup law and fundraising, guest lectures regularly at law and MBA schools, and writes on a range of law, governance and finance topics.
