Write Your Own Business Contracts: What Your Attorney Won't Tell You (Psi Successful Business Library)

Summary: The only contract reference you'll ever need
Review: I am a recovering lawyer. That said, as an entrepreneur, my partners always look to me to keep an eye on things legal, and this book has been my greatest ally in the effort.

The author and I share the same views about contracts: they should be clear; as brief as possible (without leaving out anything necessary); and in plain English.

This book will be a tremendous resource for anyone preparing a contract and for anyone reviewing a contract. You will find a wealth of hints, including plenty of examples of BOTH good and bad contracts and clauses, in addition to the fine commentary on the many types of contracts. In addition, the organization is very useful, with chapters focusing on the major types of contract businesspeople are likely to see. The chapters covering general subjects (including "Clauses. . .Standard and Dangerous") are good guidance for lawyers and excellent introductions for non-lawyers.

My battered copy saw so much action I had it rebound!

Summary: Great book!!
Review: I'm a lawyer, and after readiing this book all I have to say is just that it's great. The legal forms it has, do and don't forms, are very useful. I strongly recommend this book.
