We’re excited to announce our new Tech Contracts Master Classes™.  

Tech Contracts Master Classes™ provide an in-depth yet unusually concise, accessible review of all the clauses typically found in information technology contracts. The Master Classes program is broken into four sessions taught by your instructor, David W. Tollen, with live Q&A in each. Our inaugural program runs October 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2021, and we will run a second program on November 3, 10, 17, and December 1. 

The Master Classes™ serve lawyers and businesspeople, including contract managers, procurement officers, executives, and IT professionals. They will prepare you to negotiate contracts about software and cloud services better, faster, and with more confidence, and of course they’ll help you avoid common pitfalls. Enroll now and invest in building your expertise.  

For best value (and a 10% discount), attend all four classes. But you may instead select one or any combination. Each registration (no matter how many classes) includes a 35% discount on the 3rd edition of the Tech Contracts Handbook (purchased from the website for ABA Publishing), authored by your instructor—as well as copies of the slides, access to recordings, and a certificate recognizing your attendance. Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit is approved in MN and WA, and applications are pending in CA. Other states may be eligible for reciprocal credit.
