Overview
Not every deal deserves to close. Learn the exit ramps the pros use.
Bad deals don't announce themselves at signing - they surface later, when a client wants out, and the contract looks ironclad. This 90-minute program equips you with a rapid-fire list of 20 proven strategies for unwinding, renegotiating, or walking away from problematic agreements. From formation defects and misconduct-based claims to performance excuses and contractual escape hatches, you'll leave with a structured framework for spotting your client's best exit, before the other side finds it first. Register today!
- Identify which of the 20 exit strategies applies to your client's specific contract dispute.
- Spot formation defects and misconduct-based claims that can void or rescind an agreement.
- Distinguish between excuse-based defenses (impossibility, frustration, impracticability) and breach-based remedies.
- Draft and invoke force majeure, MAC, and contingency clauses effectively.
- Use notice-and-cure technicalities and procedural missteps to your client's advantage.
- Build a decision framework for choosing termination, renegotiation, or litigation.
