Corporate attorney Kenneth Adams presents the first detailed survey of the conventions of language and structure in drafting corporate agreements. Adams pays particular attention to the categories of language that occur in the body of the contract and how best to express them. He proposes alternatives to traditional techniques of drafting that will produce clearer, more efficient contracts. --David Marshall Nissman, J.D.

Book Description

From a corporate lawyer in private practice comes a detailed analysis of, and guide to, the conventions of language and structure in drafting corporate agreements. Adams summarizes the traditional techniques of drafting and proposes alternatives that produce clearer, more efficient contracts. This comprehensive and pragmatic book includes examples of different usages and explains in detail the reasons for favoring one over another. Citing other authorities on drafting, legal writing, and English usage and grammar generally, as well as case law, Adams creates an authoritative context for his own arguments and advice. An appendix provides "before" and "after" versions of a sample contract identifying inefficient or archaic usages and proposing alternatives. This essential resource examines the parts of a contract and the drafting issues found in each. Adams pays particular attention to the categories of language that occur in the body of the contract and how best to express them. He then addresses more general topics, including use of defined terms and references to time, and discusses various usage that tend to be problematic, such as provisos. Adams also discusses provisions that specify drafting conventions, examines the principles of effective general writing that apply to drafting, and considers aspects of the drafting process. Ideal for anyone who drafts, negotiates, or interprets corporate agreements, this work will find a place in the libraries and on the desks of practicing lawyers and law students alike.

Book Description

Designed for lawyers seeking to improve and strengthen their client relationships, this guide offers strategies for effectively communicating with clients. Top lawyers offer their own strategies for speaking and presenting themselves in a way that pleases clients and cultivates their practice. The importance of empathizing with a client's position is stressed and explained, as is creating a long-term business plan for a practice. How to conduct an efficient meeting, tips for creating an interactive legal presentation, and the ethical issues of selling and marketing a firm are also addressed.

Customer Reviews:

Good ideas.......2007-05-18

This book is essentially divided into two sections. The first part provides ideas, methods and sales techniques for obtaining business. Many of these ideas are devoted to those involved in specialty practices; however, there are many useful tips that could be used in any size or kind of practice. The second part is devoted to basic communications skills, which would be applicable in any line of work. I found the book to be an easy, quick read and helpful advice for a young lawyer on how to better market the legal services that I can provide.

A WASTE OF MONEY.......2006-11-06

I HAVE PRACTICE LAW FOR OVER 32 YEARS AND I WAS TOTALLY PUT OFF BY THIS BOOK. IT IS OF NO VALUE TO SMALL OR SOLO PRACTITIONERS. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PRACTICE OF LAW BUT RATHER IT IS FOR LAWYERS IN LARGE OR MEDIUM FIRMS WITH SPECIALTY PRACTICES WHO ARE ABOUT TO LOSE THEIR JOBS FOR FAILING TO MEET THEIR SALES QUOTAS. THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT DOING A GOOD JOB FOR YOUR CLIENTS. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN STEALING LARGE CORPORATE CLIENTS BY HANDING OUT CARDS IN ELEVATORS OR AT HEALTH CLUBS YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN THIS BOOK. OTHERWISE, BUILD YOUR PRACTICE BY SERVING CLIENTS IN COMPETENT MANNER.

Don't know how to get clients? This is the book for you. .......2006-01-18

This book does a great job of teaching you how to go out and get clients. It's full of really useful practical tips, such as how to make cold calls, how to "google" your way into the front door, how to engage in effective cross-selling, how to make maximum use of airplane flights. It even teaches how to shmooze effectively. It's easy to read, well organized, clever, full of memorable anedotes, etc. I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in learning how to get clients.
