The text emphasizes the daily tasks and responsibilities of a paralegal involved in business law, and provides numerous examples and hands-on applications to illustrate key concepts. The text includes significant cases and their relevance to the topics discussed; examples of business organizational documents from letters of intent to the exploration of typical contracts; practical assignments based on real world problems faced by business people and attorneys; and a step-by-step analysis of the creation of contracts and the common clauses contained in them. Learning features include numerous sidebars addressing a wide variety of issues; end-of-chapter exercises; "Business Case File", which provides profiles of various businesses and how they negotiate, buy, sell, and carry out daily activities; and "Help This Business", a tool which presents a wide variety of typical business problems and the legal methods used to address those problems.
