Tech Contracts Master Classes™

Complete all four Master Classes™ and Round Out Your Tech Contracts Knowledge

We designed the Tech Contracts Master Classes™ for both lawyers and business people, including contract managers, procurement officers, executives, and other IT professionals responsible for software licenses and cloud contracts. Taught by David W. Tollen, one of the industry’s leading authorities, these programs make complex topics engaging. And they include a live Q&A session. 

Attend all four courses in a series and receive: a 10% discount (for a total fee of $1,395 instead of $1,560), and a Tech Contracts Master Classes™ Certificate of Completion. And attend any program and receive a 35% discount on The Tech Contracts Handbook and access to that program’s recording for 30 days. CLE is approved, or applications are pending, in various jurisdictions. And we’re working on expanding our CLE offerings.
