English | February 8, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0CVBHDTCL | 199 pages | EPUB | 11 Mb
A guide for lawyers on:
(a) how to write anything clearly and accurately – including tips on plain English (which is what your clients and colleagues want);
(b) how to deal with specific types of documents that lawyers need to master; and
© how to avoid the most common contract drafting mistakes.
Aimed at UK trainee solicitors and junior associates, but useful for other lawyers too.
Easy-to-read and packed with practical advice and handy checklists.
Includes the answers to these questions (and much more):
– How do you write advice like a human, rather than a lawyer?
– How do you get people to answer your emails?
– What’s the most common grammar mistake by junior lawyers?
– How do you write marketing materials that people will read?
– How do you write a winning pitch?
– What’s the drafting mistake that appears in most contracts (and often appears in the courts)?
– Why should you never say ‘provided that’?
– When should you use ‘subject to’, ‘notwithstanding’ and ‘without prejudice to’?
– And why is ‘and’ so tricky?
Based on the author’s decades of experience of training lawyers – and of being a lawyer – in a magic circle law firm.
