Contract Drafting in Legal English💡 EPISODE INFORMATION  Do you draft contracts in English? Do you know the common mistakes? Want some tips to improve?  Get some contract drafting tips in this week's episode where I interview Natasha Costello. Natasha has over 16 years of experience teaching legal English, she is a qualified solicitor and works as an independent legal English teacher in Paris. She teaches practising lawyers in law firms and law students in universities.  *Correction: I mention that Stephen Horowitz had a student who said his professor or boss would be insulted if he wrote in a specific way. Correction - it was not about short sentences. It was about a very explicit writing style. A writer-responsible style rather than a reader-responsible style that leaves more for the reader to infer.  📄 CONTACT NATASHA  nclegalenglish@gmail.com www.linkedin.com/in/natasha-costello  ⭐BOOKS MENTIONED  Mark Adler, Daphne Perry, Clarity for Lawyers: Effective Legal Language Bryan Garner, Legal Writing in Plain English  Ken Adams, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting Tina Stark, Drafting Contracts: How and Why Lawyers Do What They Do Cynthia Adams &amp; Peter Cramer, Drafting Contracts in Legal English*affiliate links.  ⭐FURTHER RESOURCES MENTIONED  Adobe Legal Department Style Guide Model Commercial Leases Contract case about 'Practical Completion': B Building Solutions Limited (GB) v SFS Fire Services Limited (t/a Central Fire Protection) (SFS) [2017] Natasha Costello, Teaching non-native English speakers to draft contracts with clarity  ❓ QUESTION FOR LISTENERS  What do you find difficult about contract drafting?
