All managers handle contracts, but how many have even rudimentary
awareness of contract law?
Here at last is a book written specifically for them, by a practising
commercial lawyer. Charles Boundy introduces the principles you need to
know, and shows how they apply to key elements of business such as sales
of goods and services, product safety, confidentiality, competition,
agency and distribution, employment and licensing. He also deals with
planning contracts, using standard forms, the implications of new
technology, the international dimension and what to do when things go
wrong. A useful glossary of legal terms is included.
With its no-nonsense style, real-life examples, summaries and checklists,
A Concise Business Guide to Contract Law will appeal to anyone in business
dealing with contracts on a regular basis.
