About the Book
This Fourth Edition has been updated and revised and expanded including new or expanded coverage of the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine. Many of the previous chapters have been completely revised and other chapters went through a comprehensive rewrite. New chapters deal with intellectual property, international transactions, and e-discovery. And a great feature of the book - you obtain full coverage of all topics in one single-volume.
This new edition is not merely a treatise on the subject; it is that and much more. Written for practitioners, it addresses the problems they face and offers solutions. Each chapter is written by authors with varied practices and offers the insights of the attorneys practicing in those areas.
