An Introduction

Drafting Clearer Contracts: Presentation is a uniquely rigorous overview of issues relating to how to say clearly and concisely in a contract whatever you want to say.

Ken Adams has been doing presentations since 2006. Now for the first time, he is offering an online, public version of Drafting Clearer Contracts: Presentation. For an agenda, go here.

This presentation consists of two live 3-hour sessions on consecutive days. It serves as an introduction to A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting. It's a big book on a challenging subject. Presentation helps make the book more accessible.

Presentation is intended for anyone who drafts, reviews, or negotiates contracts, whether they’re a lawyer, businessperson, contract manager, or paralegal, and wherever in the world they work. And it's suitable for all levels of seniority, as much of what Ken has to say comes as news to even those with a lot of experience. For testimonials, go here as well as here, here, here, and here. But the best testimonial is the thousands who have attended since Ken started giving Drafting Clearer Contracts presentations.

Individuals and Organizations

Individuals can register for Presentation by going here and paying US$495 by credit card or PayPal.

Any organization that registers ten or more attendees is entitled to use the discount code "pgroup" to obtain the discounted price of US$395 per attendee. Alternatively, Ken could arrange for your organization to register a group with a single payment. An organization with ten or more participants would also be entitled to purchase copies of MSCD at a greater discount than that offered to individual attendees. To register a group with a single payment or to take advantage of the group discount on the price of the book, please email Ken at [email protected].

Instead of having a group participate in a public presentation, an organization could elect to have Ken give a private presentation. Email Ken at [email protected] if that's of interest.

For additional discounts, see the first FAQ below.

This presentation helps you become an informed consumer of contract language, instead of copy-and-pasting, on faith, from contracts of questionable quality and relevance. That’s a dramatic change.
