AdamsDrafting

At AdamsDrafting, Ken Adams focuses on the actual language of contracts. And his approach to contract drafting is relevant to lawyers outside the U.S. As Adam’s makes clear on his site, contracts drafted in the common law countries not only have similar layouts, but they share basic legal concepts and language. Significantly, Adam’s works methodology aims to equip the drafter with the skills necessary to express concepts using language which can be understood on its own. Given that non-native English speaking lawyers often need to negotiate and draft contracts in English, Adam’s believes that the best way for non-native English speaking lawyers to learn to draft contracts in English is to first learn the basics of contract language and layout. These “basic building blocks” of contracts provide the non-native English speaking lawyer with a firm foundation going forward.
