TECHNOLOGY CONTRACTS – CHANGING TIMES and CHANGING POSITIONS: NEGOTIATE OR SUE?

Wednesday 15 march 2008

Your company entered into an agreement a while ago which looked great at the time, but for one reason or another, times and positions have changed and either your company wants to get out of the deal or you are concerned that the other side wants to terminate. What are your options? Clients are increasingly asking questions like this and in this session we will look at what corporate counsel can do in the real world to address them: what does the contract say?; how to weigh up legal risk and negotiating leverage; assessing whether litigation is a viable option and if so what it is likely to mean; and addressing the nuts and bolts of damages calculations.

Materials from the event are listed below:
