Optimal Contract Language and State-of-the-Art Document Assembly: A Match Made in Contract-Process Heaven

When it comes to quality and efficiency, traditional contract drafting lags behind business. Contract templates tend to be full of archaic, wordy, and confusing language. The substance generally leaves much to be desired. And the copy-and-paste process is slow, erratic, and conducive to mistakes.\r
\r
The antidote is document assembly, which allows users to create contracts by answering an annotated online questionnaire. It offers speed and control, allowing you to put the focus back where it belongs-on creating clear and concise contracts that are closely tailored to your company's needs.\r
\r
In this seminar, Ken Adams and Tim Allen describe how implementing a document-assembly system that uses optimal contract language would allow companies with high-volume contracts to save time, save money, enhance competitiveness, and reduce risk.\r
\r
Using as an example Ken's new confidentiality-agreement template powered by ContractExpress 5, the latest version of the leading document-assembly software, Ken and Tim will show you what is possible.\r
