Transactional Law Workshop: Drafting Clearer Contracts - Melbourne

Wed 08/02/2012

Time: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Description:

Contract drafting is a vital function at companies and law firms. But traditionally, contract drafting has consisted of recycling contract language of questionable quality and relevance. This course will show you that there’s another way—that using clear language and an efficient process can save you time, help you become more competitive, and reduce the risk of contract disputes.

This course is a uniquely rigorous overview of issues relating to contract language and the contract process. Rather than simply lecturing, Adams encourages participation through questions, discussion, and drafting exercises. 

 

Workshop leader

Kenneth A. Adams, Lecturer, University of Pennsylvania Author, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting

He is also president and founder of Koncision Contract Automation, an online service that makes available to lawyers documentassembly templates for business contracts.
