Why contract and legal design?
Our research found that clients find their legal documents too long and confusing.
📌 97% of attorneys and contract managers reported that their clients are overwhelmed by the length of their contracts and legal documents.
📌 96% shared that clients struggle to understand their documents, emphasizing the need for clearer, more accessible language.
📌 46% never used contract & legal design in their work, indicating that many attorneys have yet to adopt this approach.
When contracts are overly long and complex, businesses risk misunderstandings, non-compliance, and missed obligations, leading to legal disputes, financial penalties, and operational inefficiencies:
⚠️ Legal departments become bottlenecks, slowing business deals and innovation.
⚠️ Organizations face higher risks, as critical obligations get lost in dense legalese and compliance becomes overly difficult.
⚠️ Law firms can struggle to deliver tangible value when legal opinions and documents are harder for clients to act on their advice effectively.
⚠️ In court, unclear documents invite multiple interpretations, increasing the risk of misunderstandings, unnecessary claims and costly litigation with possible unfavorable rulings.
Traditional contracts are often filled with dense legalese, making them time-consuming to review, negotiate, and finalize.
When documents are designed with clarity, deals move faster, compliance is more effective and efficiency is increased:
✅ Speed up deal closures by reducing misunderstandings.
✅ Enhance compliance by making obligations clear.
✅ Mitigate risks with effective legal documents.
✅ Prevent disputes by using clear contracts and policies.
By making legal documents clear, structured, and easy to navigate, businesses can rely more efficiently on their contracts and legal documents, without back-and-forth.
TL;DR - No more policies left unused or contracts gathering dust in a drawer!
With the Contract and Legal Design approach, you’ll be enhancing how to communicate and deliver complex legal and contract concepts effectively, ensuring that every document is understood, followed, and put to use, empowering your clients and improving outcomes.
