In real estate, drafting a sale and purchase agreement using a standardized form can be a great way to save time and effort. However, lawyers still need to know how to spot red flags that could bring their client unwanted consequences. In this episode, New York-based attorney and licensed real estate broker Di Ma explains that when it comes to representing your client, it’s not always about the contract in itself.

The developers of video game sensation Fortnite violated their contract with Google, making a case that the tech giant has a monopoly on the mobile gaming marketplace. Watch as corporate attorney Arianna Mendez tears down the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement and explains how Epic Games is using litigation to bring about economic and social change. Considering that until recently, Fortnite fans couldn’t play on their mobile devices due the ongoing lawsuit, and the Google case is still pending, the stakes are high. Either the game developer will successfully overhaul how big tech operates in the global economy, or Google and Apple will continue setting industry terms. In what follows, we take a deep look at the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement that Epic Games signed and then broke in order to spur a lawsuit. It’s an interesting case of one giant taking on another in an attempt to change the marketplace through contracts. Ultimately, the example shows that a contract is only as strong as each party’s intention to uphold their end. About Law Insider: We’re all about contracts!

While artfully worded, most people think of Uber as a ride service and their drivers as one and the same, not a software company. Drafters should take care not to create contracts that elevate form over substance. Regardless of how Uber labels itself and its drivers, legal tests determine whether drivers are employees or independent contractors. Customers--and perhaps even some drivers--would be surprised to learn that drivers sign a software agreement, not another type of contract or employment agreement.
