šļø About this episode:
Ken Adams, the leading authority on contract drafting language, tells us about his A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting now in its 5th edition.
Ken tells us about some key additions to this book, including information about the words 'material', 'consequential damages', and 'including'. I also share my opinion as to why every legal English learner who deals with contracts should get a copy of this book.
