Customer Reviews

Quick read with helpful tips

This book provides a good desk reference for best practices in contract drafting. Although focused primarily on commercial transactions, the tips are helpful for all areas of contracts. Highly Recommended.

It could threaten my job security...

As a contract litigation attorney I'd be worried if more people were to buy this book. Luckily for me the vast majority of lawyers and people who draft agreements apparently have not. Thus, I'm not worried about my job. It was actually an enjoyable read, too.

Must Have!

Any attorney actively involved in the drafting of contracts must have this manual. I am general counsel for a product development and manufacturing firm and have been actively using the guidance of Ken Adams' book for several months now on a variety of contracts, including overhauling our standard contracts. Not only is it improving my efficiency, but the feedback from members of our company is very positive. I cannot state it any better than Ken does in his preface to this manual. If you agree with the premise of his preface, as I do, then you will find this to be an invaluable and indispensable tool.
