Consequential loss is one of the things that keeps senior managers awake at night. The risks of uninsurable losses arising from contracts can be existential (or at best bonus-threatening). The author has spent a lifetime in negotiating and drafting contractual protections against such risks. These negotiations are usually the toughest in the contract area. This book lays out the risks, using real cases. It describes the law in many jurisdictions showing that complex clauses are a necessary evil. It provides tips on how best to negotiate such clauses, with advice distilled from experts in the discipline. It also provides material assistance in drafting. Readers will find themselves armed with real-world, non-theoretical arguments for complex and comprehensive drafting of these clauses.
