Contract Negotiation, Drafting & Risk Allocation Questions

Demonstrate your approach to contract negotiation, risk allocation, and drafting. Be prepared to discuss a significant contract or deal you've negotiated—what were the key business terms, what legal risks were present, how did you identify problematic provisions, how did you balance legal protection with business objectives? Discuss your process for negotiating amendments and reaching acceptable risk allocation. Demonstrate familiarity with standard contract structures (liability caps, indemnification, termination for convenience, warranty disclaimers, force majeure clauses, etc.) and when to push back versus when to be flexible. Show judgment about which risks matter and which don't.
