Attorney Credits Launches New CLE: Drafting Controversial Contract Clauses with Kristi Zentner

SAN DIEGO - Jan. 27, 2026 - PRLog -- Attorney Credits, a leading provider of continuing legal education, has released a new on-demand CLE course titled Drafting Controversial Contract Clauses: What Clauses Are Worth the Fight?, presented by Kristi Zentner, Esq. and Heather Marx, Esq.

In nearly every contract negotiation, clients want maximum protection while the opposing party seeks the same. The challenge for attorneys is determining which provisions truly deserve aggressive advocacy and which can be strategically compromised. This program provides practical, real-world guidance from both sides of the negotiating table, combining the perspectives of a transactional attorney and a commercial litigator.

Zentner and Marx explore the most common flashpoints in contract drafting, including indemnification clauses, limitation of liability provisions, representations and warranties, and confidentiality terms. Attendees will gain insight into how these provisions are interpreted in disputes and how to draft them clearly, effectively, and enforceably.

The course also provides actionable strategies for tailoring contract language to a client's risk tolerance, avoiding ambiguity, and ensuring agreements accurately reflect negotiated terms. By understanding how contract clauses hold up under scrutiny, attorneys can reduce litigation risk and protect client interests more effectively.

Course Topics Include:

• Key clauses most likely to trigger disputes or litigation
• Negotiation dynamics and risk-based decision-making
• Drafting enforceable risk-shifting provisions
• Common drafting mistakes and how to avoid them
• Techniques for memorializing negotiated terms clearly
