These top experts discuss strategies for drafting contracts, forecasting tax complications, evaluating litigation, and assessing intellectual property. Additionally, these top lawyers give tips on the importance of executing due diligence, cultivating legal compliance, and identifying the roles of the key players involved, such as the buyer, seller, investment banker, accountant, and attorney. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to navigating an ever-changing area of law.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
