About this cutting-edge webinar

We hope you will join us on May 22, 2025 for a brand new, one hour live webinar: Best AI and other Software for Contract Drafters and Negotiators. 

  • NOT sponsored by any software vendor. Join us for impartial observations and practical tips, not a software sales pitch.
  • California lawyers, this program gives you all the credit you need for the new, required CLE subfield: Technology in the Practice of Law! (For other jurisdictions, we provide self-reporting resources. See below.)

How is generative AI doing with contract drafting and negotiation? What problems does it solve, and what new risks does it create? Plus, which AI should lawyers and contract managers consider for contracting? This webinar will look at the state of the industry and the best tools.

But while we'll spend most of our time on gen-AI, we won't ignore other vital contracting tools, including new options like open source contracts, as well as our longstanding #1 tool: word processor redlining.

Topics for this cutting-edge webinar include:

  • The key gen-AI contract drafting and review tools
  • Other artificial intelligence options, like benchmarking and agentic AI
  • Recommendations on the best of those tools and how to use them
  • Effective use of redlining, systems, including tips on avoiding common errors that trigger contracting mistakes
  • Open source and standards-based contracting
  • AI's future and its impact on our careers
  • And more ...

Enroll and you can ask David Tollen questions (via chat) and learn his impartial tips about the latest software tools. You also get access to a webinar recording for 30 days after (even if you miss the live event).

As usual, your instructor is David Tollen, author of The Tech Contracts Handbook, attorney, UC Berkeley lecturer, expert witness, and sought-after speaker.

Length: 1 hr. (CLE 1 hr. See details below.)

MAY 22, 2025 - 10:00 a.m. PDT / 1:00 p.m. EDT

We generate an individual certificate when you complete the course.

Continuing Legal Education (CLE): Credit is available!

  • California: Tech Contracts Academy is an approved CLE multiple activity provider (MAP). Your CA CLE credit is “participatory” for attending live webinars, “self-study” for watching on-demand courses and recordings of webinars. Credit is “general” unless a subfield is identified on a course’s sales page - and for this course, you get the 1 hour of credit you need under the new Technology in the Practice of Law subfield. 
  • Other Jurisdictions: We provide a certificate and other resources that may assist students seeking credit outside California. (Jurisdictions differ on whether students may self-report or apply individually and, if so, what’s required.)
