Mr. William J. Delaney,
3 credits day; 3 credits evening.
This course will provide an opportunity for students to work together with Sawyer Business
School students and to learn and develop basic skills demanded of transactional attorneys. Teams
of MBA students and law students will meet with, analyze the problem of and counsel small
businesses and entrepreneurs. Law students will be introduced to fundamental transactional skills
such as client interviewing and counseling, negotiation and drafting. By exposure to real life
business client problems students will have the opportunity to operate as co-advisors and
lawyers. Students will work throughout the semester in conjunction with MBA students on
organizational, governance, strategic and related business and legal problems confronted by all
business clients. Law students will be assigned readings that will enable them to function
effectively as members of an advisory team. Those teams, composed of one law student and
three business students each, will work throughout the semester with the same client,
culminating in client presentations at the end of the semester. Grades will be based on that
presentation and a take-home exercise.
