Inhaltsangabe

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 (c) 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. ‘If you want to know what your clients really want, read this’ – former general counsel at listed companies. ‘Well, that was life-changing’ – UK trainee solicitor after attending a training session by the author.
