And on 24 October I’m doing a half-day “Advanced” seminar devoted “the categories of contract language”—how to use verb structures to … Read More
I’ve previously announced that 4 October 2018 I’ll be giving a “Drafting Clearer Contracts” seminar in Mumbai with Asian Legal Business. (For more information, go here.) I’ve had very little contact with India over the years. In 2017 I played a tiny part in a contract-drafting competition run by an Indian law school. Also in 2017, I wrote this post … Read More
I’m looking forward to returning to Seoul for a “Drafting Clearer Contracts” seminar on 16 November 2018. Go here for more information, in Korean; go here for an English-language flyer. My enthusiasm for Korea is such that in 2014 I wrote and had translated into Korean an article for Korean Legal Times entitled English-Language Contracts: Reducing the Clutter and Confusion. Go … Read More

In a couple of weeks I’ll be in Geneva for my intime public “Drafting Clearer Contracts” seminars. For more information, go here. My wife and I lived in Geneva for three years in the 1990s, my daughter was born there, and my brother lives there, so I always enjoy visiting Geneva. I’ve given perhaps a dozen seminars in Geneva to … Read More
