Signature pages are an essential component of any agreement and typically fall to the junior associate on a deal to coordinate. Juniors are often tasked with creating, collecting, and compiling signature pages for the myriad of documents needed for the signing or closing of a deal—all while coordinating with their counterparts on the other side to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. For those new to deal work, managing signature pages can feel like an overwhelming morass, with lessons often learned the hard way later in the deal timeline. This course pulls back the fog, showing how signature pages fit into a larger deal and how junior associates can implement best practices to avoid delay and frustration.
Training outcomes
- Learn to draft complete and accurate signature pages that align with their corresponding documents (even as those documents inevitably change before the signing or closing date).
- Learn to assemble signature page packets and cover notes that minimize the potential for signatory confusion or mistakes.
