For each of the chapters, along with the templates, there is an introduction and drafting notes, allowing a reader to grasp the essence and importance of the clauses. It comprises of chapters on Partnership; Procurement of goods, services and assets; Mergers, Acquisitions and Joint Ventures; Real Estate; Employment; Confidentiality; Franchise; Trademark; Patent; Copyright publishing, broadcast reproduction and performer’s rights; Agency; Hire Purchase; Turnkey/EPC; and Project Finance. One chapter is exclusively devoted to one of the most important clauses in any contract ie the Dispute Resolution clause, and it covers the intricacies of this clause with respect to different contracts.
This book will prove useful for professionals/students in understanding the practical details of varied contracts, act as a beginning point for practitioners, and be useful for all considering the vast number of contracts dealt with.
