CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Oct. 3, 2025 - PRLog -- Attorney Credits, a national leader in continuing legal education, has released a new on-demand CLE course, Drafting Controversial Contract Clauses: What Clauses Are Worth the Fight?, taught by seasoned attorneys Kristi Zentner and Heather Marx.

Contract negotiations often come down to heated debates over certain provisions.

This dynamic program provides attorneys with insights from both sides of the negotiating table: Zentner, a transactional attorney, and Marx, a commercial litigator, share how these issues play out in real-world negotiations and litigation.

The course examines some of the most contentious clauses in contract law, including indemnification, limitation of liability, representations and warranties, and confidentiality provisions. Attendees will learn how to assess risk, leverage negotiation dynamics, draft enforceable provisions, and avoid ambiguities that often lead to disputes.

Course Highlights:

• Key clauses most often at the center of disputes.
• How to evaluate negotiation dynamics and counterparty risk.
• Drafting enforceable, risk-shifting provisions tailored to the client.
• Strategies for memorializing negotiations clearly and accurately.
