WorldCC research shows that more than 90% of businesspeople find contracts 'hard or impossible' to understand.
Why do we continue to write business contracts in such a convoluted manner when clear and concise language could benefit both parties? Is a step towards clarity in legal drafting essential to better contracting outcomes? Can plain language replace legalese? And what is legalese, anyway? Why does it exist? What can the contracting community do to make business outcomes better for everyone?
