Crystal clear clarity is a personal value of mine. For me, clarity comes when I speak and I believe that words are so important. Words help us gain an understanding on what it is we need to do and where we need to focus. They are also extremely important when it comes to your legal documents so today I’m talking about why words matter, legally. 

Words can mean different things to different people, which is why it’s vital that your legal documents are clear, concise and represent your business and your offerings accurately. In this episode, I outline some of the important aspects to consider when it comes to the words you use in your legal documents and how a poor choice of words, or words that are too vague, can potentially wind you up in an expensive legal battle. 

I share some examples of how unclear wording in legal documents can cause a dispute, particularly when it comes to payment terms. As a business owner, one of the last things you want to do is end up in court because the wording in your legal documents wasn’t quite right. There is no substitute for preparation, so make sure you set yourself up for success by building your business on solid foundations. 

I hope this episode gives you some insight as to why words really do matter from a legal perspective and what you can do to ensure you are meeting your legal obligations, protecting your business and managing your client’s expectations from the get go.
