Contract drafting is a core activity of corporate lawyers, paralegals, and contracts administrators.

But it's also challenging.

Traditionally, there has been little training in contract drafting, which has generally consisted of recycling forms of questionable quality and relevance.

Ken Adams offers an antidote - a uniquely rigorous overview of issues relating to contract language and layout, based on his book A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Second Edition.

This workshop explores what makes for clear and effective contracts. Ken uses examples throughout drawn from actual contracts. Rather than simply lecturing, he uses questions and drafting exercises to encourage participation. He also emphasizes the practical considerations unique to the drafting process.
