Award-Winning Contract Drafting Blog

Here’s an outstanding addition to any formal skills training or on-the-job experience: Adams on Contract Drafting. This blog uniquely focuses on the language, not the content, of business contracts—how to express what you want to say in “modern and effective contract language.”

This award-winning blog is the creation of Ken Adams, an internationally recognized consultant and speaker, a former corporate law practitioner who taught the first contract drafting course at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and the author of A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, published by the American Bar Association (latest edition, 2013).  For anyone interested in how to express effectively what you mean to say in business contracts, Adams on Contract Drafting is definitely worth checking out.
