Legal Innovation & Tech Festival
Contract Design Presentations, Tips and Resources from Legal Tech Fest
Our Founder and Chief Contract Enthusiast Verity White has been working with the Legal Innovation & Tech Festival for many years now.
In 2019, while Verity was Legal Counsel & Automation Coach for Telstra, she ran a session on Re-Designing Contracts For Readability, Usability, and Trust.
Re-Designing Contracts For Readability, Usability, and Trust.
Ever worked with a person you just didn’t like? They seem like they know what they are doing but after time, you notice…
They talk a lot
They say a lot of unnecessary things
They don’t get to the point
They waste time on unimportant things
And their working style doesn’t line up with your company’s values
Contracts can be just like this frustrating workmate. But they don’t have to be! Verity’s team were presented with a unique business opportunity to redesign key sales channel contracts.
Drawing on academic research (and years of legal and commercial experience), you’ll hear how a cross functional team of lawyers built out contract benchmarking to increase contract readability, usability, and trust.
In this session Verity White covered:
What is wrong with contracts?
Key mindsets for contract redesign work
How they tested the before and after results of the redesign
Key indicators that show your contracts could benefit from a RUT redesign
What worked (and what didn't!)
A template benchmarking checklist to test your contracts based on science and insights from user experience from a contract makeover
How this enhances trustworthiness in your legal team and organisation
