Kenneth A. Adams is a corporate lawyer who has written widely on legal drafting. His most recent book, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting (American Bar Association 2004), is one of the ABA’s best-selling titles and will be distributed to program attendees. Ken is uniquely qualified to lead our seminars on contract drafting. He’s not a spectator – he has practiced corporate law at major law firms in the U.S. and Europe. But he doesn’t simply recycle the conventional wisdom – instead, marrying his understanding of transactions and his knack for language, he offers advice that is rigorous, practical, and often innovative. He’s the leading scholar on contract language, having offered – in two books and numerous articles – groundbreaking analysis of a broad range of issues. And as a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and a consultant to major corporations, he has extensive experience in sharing his expertise with students and practitioners.
