Attorney Michael W. Zarlenga will teach a webinar for lawyers on behalf of the National Business Institute entitled, "Breach of Contract: Getting the Benefit of the Bargain," on February 2, 2017.  Mr. Zarlenga is the lead counsel of Bergstrom Attorneys for legal services in the areas of corporations, contracts, securities, and other business-related issues.  If you need to start a business, negotiate a contract, settle a business dispute, contact Bergstrom Attorneys to speak with Mr. Zarlenga.

A description of Mr. Zarlenga's webinar follows:

When everything is going as planned, the first page or two of a contract is all that is needed.  When everything goes sideways, that is when the remaining pages of the contract matter.  But what is in those pages that no one reads?  Why are they the most important part of a contract? And how can you make sure your client gets the benefit of the bargain?  This course will look at how the proper drafting of a contract can avoid litigation and actually save a client money when one of the parties is in breach.  It will also examine how improper drafting can actually be a detriment to your client in court.

Course Content will include:

  1. Mutual Expectations and the Theory of Contract
  2. Common Contract Disputes and Drafting to Avoid Them
  3. Boilerplate and Why It Is Important Not to Just Plagiarize
  4. Applicability of the UCC
  5. Available Remedies
  6. Alternative Dispute Resolution vs. Litigation
  7. Pleading Both Breach of Contract/Breach of Quasi Contract

The webinar will be broadcast live from the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel in Puerto Rico.
