In four webinars, with live Q&A, running weekly on Thursdays from Sept. 25 to Oct. 16, 2025, learn the key clauses in contracts about AI, SaaS, on-premise software, and other IT products and services. Each runs just over 2 hours, and is taught by David Tollen, author of the American Bar Association’s perennial best-seller, The Tech Contracts Handbook.
In addition to the live webinar, you receive access to a recording (limited time – 30 days), written materials to reinforce your learning (course slides), and certificates of attendance. (California CLE available; details below.) Each Master Class may be purchased individually, or at about a 9% discount as a four-course bundle.
Interested in viewing a sample? Each individual class page has a link to a sample lesson from a previously recorded version of the course, available to view with no commitment.

The fine print: Tech Contracts Academy® LLC is not a law firm, and does not provide legal services. The Tech Contracts Handbook, and Tech Contract Academy’s publications and courses, are intended for general informational purposes only; they are not to be considered, and do not provide, legal advice. Course participation is subject to our Terms of Use, available on each course’s sales page for review prior to purchase.
