1:00 pm - 2:00 pm ESTThis session examines how liability caps and consequential damages waivers are drafted, challenged, and struck down, with close attention to the most significant 2025 decisions reshaping enforcement standards. Attorneys will learn to identify the structural, definitional, and jurisdictional failure points that cause these clauses to collapse in litigation and to apply drafting techniques that improve enforceability. Participants leave with a concrete checklist of enforceability-enhancing practices drawn from recent case law and current market standards.

Adams 2:10 pm - 3:10 pm ESTThis session covers the negotiation architecture for liability carve-outs, super-caps, and indemnification provisions in commercial contracts, with emphasis on technology and data-intensive agreements.
