“A bible for transactional lawyers and entrepreneurs who want to ensure both that the deal gets done and that their client or their company stays out of court, or at least the losing end of a business dispute. Clear and direct as the contract drafting he espouses, Swegle’s meticulous discussion of the law and practice of contracts and their drafting and negotiation is essential for new and seasoned lawyers, entrepreneurs, and anyone who cares about the art and craft of the business deal and its careful balancing of risks and rewards.” - Steven W. Bender, Professor and Associate Dean for Planning and Strategic Initiatives, Seattle University School of Law“Paul Swegle’s book is a comprehensive and highly readable guide to all the essential aspects of contract law. In addition, he combines that theory with excellent practical insights about related topics like drafting and negotiation.
