Book Description
Legal writing doesn't have to be peppered with Latin and obscure technical words and phrases. Plain language is the key to successful communications with clients, colleagues and other third parties. It prevents ambiguity and mistakes, saving time and money as well as getting the message across effectively and in an approachable manner. The author guides the reader through the pitfalls, using examples to clarify the points made and making suggestions for alternative wording. His inimitable entertaining style informed by his extensive experience in practice and teaching makes this a reader-friendly, practical and insightful book.
