Answer to Question 1

Businesspeople are optimists - they believe they have negotiated a great deal and everything is going to go well - sales will boom, the company will prosper. Lawyers have a different perspective - their primary goal is to protect their clients by avoiding litigation, now and in the future. For this reason, lawyers are trained to be pessimists - they try to foresee and protect against everything that can possibly go wrong. Businesspeople sometimes view this lawyering as a waste of time and a potential deal-killer. What if the two parties cannot agree about what to do in the event of a very unlikely circumstances? The deal might just collapse.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
