Laura Frederick most of the last six years creating and curating expert insights and strategies into real-world contracting. Her effort has resulted in one of the world’s best collections of practical contract resources. She’s made all of those resources available for one annual fee. Here is the full list of everything included in our membership, and a quick note on what each component does for you.

The core training. 30+ hours of courses on the contract concepts and provisions you work with every day. The full course list includes these topics:

Each of these courses include a two-hour Essentials course. We also offer a four-hour NDA and Indemnification Mastery course. Each course breaks down a specific topic into modules that walk you through the language, the negotiation dynamics, and the drafting choices that matter.

Members can move through the courses at their own pace. Some people work straight through one course. Others jump in when a specific provision shows up in a deal they are working on.

The How to Contract Membership also includes 20+ hours of live training every year. Live sessions give you the chance to ask questions in real time and hear how Laura answers questions from other members. Some of the best learning happens in the questions other people ask.

Members can earn three certifications by completing the relevant courses and passing module-based assessments. The certifications cover commercial contracts, indemnification provisions, and NDAs.

Each certification is a real credential you can put on your resume, your LinkedIn profile, or your company bio. It signals that you have done the work and know the material. Employers and internal stakeholders recognize that.

Our vast library is the working reference tool that sets our membership apart. Members get access to 200+ hours of expert training, 500+ playbook strategies, and 400+ practical tips, all searchable through AI that cites every answer.

You ask a question. Sherlock, our library’s knowledge agent, finds the answer from the expert content and shares it with you. Every result links back to the source, so you can listen to the original training, read the full context, and decide whether the advice fits your situation.

The Library is the place members go when they hit a provision they have not negotiated before, or when they need to double-check a position with someone whose judgment they trust.

We know AI contract issues move fast. We have over 80+ hours of AI training was recorded since March 2025. Our training resources cover what is happening now in AI product agreements, AI-related provisions in standard commercial contracts, and the practical workflows people are building around AI tools.

If your job has changed because of AI in the last year, these are the resources that help you keep up.

Members get full access to every webinar recording How to Contract has produced, plus all new webinars throughout the year. The webinars cover specific topics in depth and feature outside expert speakers along with Laura.
