Clear and direct as the contract drafting he espouses, Swegle’s meticulous discussion of the law and practice of contracts and their drafting and negotiation is essential for new and seasoned lawyers, entrepreneurs, and anyone who cares about the art and craft of the business deal and its careful balancing of risks and rewards.” - Steven W. Bender, Professor and Associate Dean for Planning and Strategic Initiatives, Seattle University School of Law “Paul Swegle’s book is a comprehensive and highly readable guide to all the essential aspects of contract law. In addition, he combines that theory with excellent practical insights about related topics like drafting and negotiation. The book is written for the interested lay person, but I would recommend that my law students get a copy as well and use it as a handy reference when they enter practice and begin advising business clients.” - Daniel J. Morrissey, Professor of Law and Former Dean, Gonzaga University Law School "Every entrepreneur should read this book. Swegle does a wonderful job of making legal terminology and building blocks accessible to anybody - a rare accomplishment! The book presents simple guidance, logical reasoning and colorful examples for understanding the crucial components of any commercial agreement. A marvelous blueprint for creating successful business relationships and avoiding costly problems and liabilities." -Seaton Gras, Founder and CEO, SURF Incubator - a vibrant community for technology startups. DESCRIPTION Author and attorney Paul Swegle has spent much of his career working closely with business colleagues in companies across several industries to negotiate and document commercial arrangements - contracts that have supported the design, development, launch, distribution and marketing of countless products and services. In doing so, Paul has witnessed and celebrated countless successful commercial relationships, some lasting more than a decade. He has also learned important lessons from myriad ill-fated relationships, tripped up by poorly written agreements, under-performing commercial partners and unexpected surprises of nearly every variety. Paul's book presents practical insights accumulated and shared with business colleagues over a 20-year period. Its purpose is to help business persons negotiate agreements that achieve their business goals without creating unexpected and unnecessary risks and liabilities. Paul’s guidance emphasizes mindfulness of the balance between protecting key interests while still getting important deals done. Paul has served as in-house general counsel to sixteen different companies across many industries. He is also the author of Startup Law and Fundraising for Entrepreneurs and Startup Advisors , a leading business law and finance text used in law and MBA schools across the U.S. Paul worked previously in the SEC’s Enforcement Division and its Division of Corporation Finance, and also served as a Special Assistant United States Attorney. Paul gives talks around the country on startup law and fundraising, guest lectures regularly at law and MBA schools, and writes on a range of law, governance and finance topics. Review: A must read. Clearly written and packed with essential information. - This book is exactly as promised - both in terms of content and style. It provides an amazingly clear, concise, and complete discussion of not only contract drafting, but also problem solving, the negotiation of business deals, and even great advice for when deals start going bad. And if that was not enough, it is written in a friendly and clever style that makes it as enjoyable to read as it is informative. I am a 25+ year practicing attorney and I am amazed at how the author was able to take technical concepts law students spend an entire year learning, and distill them into a completely understandable discussion that could be read cover to cover in a couple of sittings - it is that easy of a read. Even as someone who *is* an old hand at reviewing and litigating contracts, I found many great pieces of advice and thoughts which, even if on a topic I already knew, gave me a better insight. I highly recommend this book to not only entrepreneurs and business professionals as the author sub-titles the book, but as an attorney I would highly recommend this to my clients in contract disputes so they can better understand what is going on. Review: Hits the High Notes (and then some) on Deal Contract Negotiation! - Although the book is titled "Contract Drafting and Negotiation for Entrepreneurs and Business Professionals" -- for me, a practicing attorney for 24 years, I consider it a fantastic reference guide for for legal and business practitioners from all areas of the business to learn about and watch out for. Ideally, once contract is negotiated and the business relationship begins -- the contract itself is stuffed in a drawer (electronic or physical) and never looked at again until and unless the business parties have a problem with each other. So getting the contract done right --before being stuffed in that drawer-- is obviously critical. This book is a common sense guide for complex, challenging transactional issues. Somehow, the author has successfully synthesized very challenging subject matter into 130ish pages; a doable read for anyone. Smart C-levels will make this a must-read for anyone in their company who will partake in business relationships that involve contracting (i.e., basically, every single one). What's also great about this book is that it doesn't just cover basic contracts and licensing, but also professional services, service level agreements, intellectual property, and other legal quagmires like contract termination, warranties, limitations of liability and damages. I highly recommend this book and would not be surprised if savvy law professors utilize it in their courses, as it provides practical solutions for legal and business professionals at all levels. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #640,260 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #37 in Commercial Business Law #46 in Business Contracts Law #6,397 in Business Development & Entrepreneurship | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 306 Reviews | ## Images ![Contract Drafting and Negotiation for Entrepreneurs and Business Professionals - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41kDi8TNshL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read.

It's a delightful and insightful read, handy for looking up a specific topic or for just spending an hour introducing yourself to the language and world of contracts. This should be on every businessperson's desk, from top executive to beginning entrepreneur. ## Frequently Bought Together - Contract Drafting and Negotiation for Entrepreneurs and Business Professionals - Contract Redlining Etiquette: How to leverage the power of redlines for faster and smarter contract negotiations. - Working With Contracts: What Law School Doesn't Teach You, 2nd Edition (PLI's Corporate and Securities Law Library) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/73833804-contract-drafting-and-negotiation-for-entrepreneurs-and-business-professionals](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/73833804-contract-drafting-and-negotiation-for-entrepreneurs-and-business-professionals) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
