Business law texts are typically organized around legal concepts: contracts, torts, property law, etc. That makes perfect sense as a way to sort through the many legal issues faced by in-house and outside counsel, but it is not how corporate executives approach their own world. To help your interactions with those current and potential clients, ABA Fundamentals: Understanding Your Business Clients is organized around concepts and issues that arise in the day-to-day activities of managers:

• Corporate Finance
• Business Strategy
• The Corporation
• Human Resource Management
• Marketing
• Corporate Governance
• Risk Management and Compliance
• Intellectual Property
• Mergers, Acquisitions, and IPOs, and much more!

Case examples offer real-life illustrations from the world of business--quarterly financial reports from IBM, corporate structure at Disney, customer segmentation at Zara, hiring practices at Patagonia--and the appendix offers a brief glossary of the business and finance terms you'll need. ABA Fundamentals: Understanding Your Business Clients will help make the world of corporate clients accessible, understandable, and meaningful. It's the perfect addition to every business lawyer's bookshelf.
