The Skills Required for Negotiating and Drafting ContractsDrafting any sort of agreement requires three skillsets. Just being a smart lawyer isn’t enough. The skillsets are:

• Drafting skills—Writing a clear, concise, accurate and comprehensive agreement.
• Legal skills—understanding all of the legal principles which go into negotiating, drafting and enforcing a license agreement—contract law, patent law, labor law and bankruptcy law and, of course, much more.
