"The invaluable guidance to be found in this book...must surely engender a 'must have' reaction from anyone engaged in the IT contracting process." Geoff Shingles, CBE (from the foreword to this edition)
Drafting and Negotiating IT Contracts provides a perspective on IT contracts that is practical rather than academic, it contains an informed narrative designed to assist when negotiating a wide range of contracts, supported by an extensive collection of precedents. It ensures that those who have different objectives to achieve in agreeing the contract can all find their solution in this book.
Building flexible and safe contracts:
Drafting and Negotiating IT Contracts, Third Edition shows how building in flexibility is an integral part of constructing contracts. For practical help it contains:
* Explanations of complex legal concepts;
* Help in identifying the risk factors involved if various provisions are omitted or left unchallenged;
* Valuable template contracts are provided as starting points;
* Useful checklists to aid the contract drafting process;
* An accompanying CD-ROM allowing the book to be read and used in digital form, and ensuring easy access to the precedents.
