In this unique, in-depth and interactive session, Bob Milstein will explore:

• Plain English in legal writing: what it is and what it isn’t
• Why plain English writing matters for you and your firm: the voice of the firm’s brand, and the voice of your own brand as a professional
• Advisory writing versus transactional writing: the differences – and the similarities
• Reflecting on audience and purpose: an interactive exercise
• The issue of tone, and how to achieve it
• The myth of the professional, legal writing voice
• The special challenges of email
• What's new in the world of legal writing: the world's first's International Plain English Standard, and the promise (and threat?) of generative AI
• Tips, traps, techniques and guidelines aimed to help the lawyer get their reader through the document as painlessly as possible, and in a way that reflects well on the author, and where it’s an external communication, on the firm/the organisation

Presented by Bob Milstein, Principal, Milstein and Associates; Principal, Words and Beyond
