Description

Contracts are a part of everyone’s business experience. Whether you are founding your own corporation or working as an employee, you will see more than one contract in your work life. It is important to know what to look for, to know how to use them, and that you are not daunted by them. This Build Project will show you how to analyze common business contracts. With guidance from an entrepreneur with previous Legal Counsel experience, you will also develop the tools you need to review and assess contracts through the utilization of templates.

This project is for everyone. Are you an engineer wanting to start your own company, a communications major signing on to work for an organization, or a business student interested in closing your first business deal? This project will give you the skills you need to assess contracts. Your signature means a lot, so sign up for this groundbreaking project today!
