It is well written, has excellent examples and practical advice, and also has the right perspective throughout regarding what actually matters and what doesn't.His writing is clear, concise and a the perfect manual for my practice which requires me to write contracts on a daily basis. The only wish I have is that the book would be simultaneously available for download once purchased in print. It would be great to have it both ways and not have to pay for the same content twice.I've used this book for years and now use this version and the previous version to compare, for additional context. This reference provides examples of when to use and not to use certain phrases that are commonly misused in drafting.This book and the plain language movement are the future of transactional law.However, it did a great job of defining and using legal language.My copy arrived with a defect on about 20 pages due to some sort of binding error - holes were punched across the text as well as on the side of the pages for the spiral binding - but I noticed too late to be able to return the book through Amazon. However, as soon as I posted about it the Author personally reached out and offered to help fix the matter and get another copy sent to me. Looking forward to receiving a more intact copy soon. Very pleased! I too was surprised that it was spiral bound - Amazon should really have a way of publicizing that for pre-orders. But I don't think the binding detracts much, especially since the cover wraps around it.Most importantly, it helps a non-lawyer or anyone with no background of contracts understand the entire framework, including the lingo that goes into such contracts or agreements.

It certainly fills a need the vast majority of agreements out there violate the principles Ken Adams states so clearly.

In the same clear, concise language that contracts themselves should use, Adams explains the mechanics of contract drafting. It demonstrates convincingly that lawyers and their clients would both benefit by purging from their contracts the archaisms, redundancies, and trite lawyerisms that too often feature in mainstream drafting. The second edition confirms its unique position amongst texts on drafting techniques in terms of its comprehensive, practical and user-friendly approach. Encouragingly, from the perspective of a non-US lawyer, the manual continues to be highly relevant and useful to lawyers from other common law jurisdictions and also to lawyers generally who draft contracts in English. It’s a unique resource, and I defy anyone to make sense of contract language without it. The discussion of ambiguity is particularly useful, and the chapter on materiality and material adverse change provisions offers essential guidance for these uncertain economic times. Kenneth Adams is one lawyer who writes with clarity and linguistic insight. He has made a really serious study of how normal Standard English can be used to make contract language clear and unambiguous. His thorough understanding of grammar in modern terms, stripped of the bugaboos shines out from every page. It provides valuable suggestions that will bring your agreements into the twenty-first century. All of Mr. Adams’ suggestions and advice serve to satisfy his goals of generating concise contracts that use standard English and lead to easily readable and understandable contracts. While following Mr. Adams’ suggestions may take more effort than following a firm’s standard contract language and provisions, it will benefit the firm and all parties it does business with and for in the long run. Better yet, it should be within easy reach of every attorney regularly drafting contracts. I’ve found a great new book that I will consistently be recommending. It’s by Kenneth A.
Adams and it’s called “A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting.” If enough people read this book and follow its principles and examples, we’ll all have an easier time dealing with contracts. The section on “material adverse change” alone is worth the price. It is the most thorough and careful book available today on legal drafting.

Identifying clauses that are being over-negotiated, and points that are regularly raised and inevitably conceded, gives you opportunities to speed up negotiations. In this example, the darker the red, the more often the clause has been amended in the first draft. Reviewing the importance of the heavily negotiated clauses (do we need to take this position?) and the way they are worded (can we be less inflammatory?) is an excellent way to knock the edges off your templates. The trick is to get to the stage where the changes are random. Fundamentally, you can find values in a contract (although it helps if you know where they will appear), you can track whether a particular clause has changed, and you can identify new clauses, but systems cannot yet interpret complex changes to language. The future is automated analytics and sophisticated risk modelling, but until we break out of document-centric contracting, tracking positions will usually require manual work. For simple commercial agreements, we recommend putting these up front, with the terms behind. This makes management of the agreement far easier and puts the focus on the most important provisions. They can become the place to abandon terms that don’t necessarily fit well with the rest of the agreement and, especially with security schedules, have an unfortunate habit of exploding with unreasonable and overly-broad positions. The standard way of approaching this is with a framework agreement that lets you add new products and services with minimal negotiation. Including them in order forms can lead to repetition and the re-opening of issues ideally addressed only once. One approach that works well is to split the agreement into three levels - core terms, service-specific terms and then use an order form as above. There is a balancing act as you decide where to locate the different topics in the agreement.
