This seventh program in Ken Adams's Drafting Clearer Contracts series discusses automating the contract process.
In this webcast, Ken discusses with a panel of experts how companies and law firms can use information technology to help improve contract language and, more generally, streamline the contract process. Taking part will be:
-
Tim Allen, chief executive officer of Business Integrity, the developer of ContractExpress DealBuilder, the leading document-assembly solution
-
Chris Boyd, senior director of professional services at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, a law firm to technology and growth enterprises worldwide and the investment banks and venture capital firms that finance them

Contract drafting is a vital function at law firms and at companies. In this series of seven one-hour programs, Ken Adams shows you how to draft contracts that express clearly the intent of the parties. The focus is not on what you say in a contract, but how you say it. He demonstrates the flaws in many standard usages and recommends alternatives that are more concise and less prone to confusion.
You will also learn from these webcasts the significant benefits that come with efficient contract language and how you can improve contract language by automating your contract process.
The webcasts explore issues addressed in detail in Ken Adams's groundbreaking book A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting (purchase from Amazon or ABA). If you work regularly with contracts, you'll find these programs valuable
- whether you work at a law firm or a company
- whether you're a lawyer or contact manager
- wherever in the world you're located
- whatever your level of experience
