News Release
Ken has established an international reputation as the leading expert on contract language. He is the author of the bestselling A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, published by the American Bar Association. Ken gives public and in-house Drafting Clearer Contracts seminars globally, and he consults with companies looking to improve their contract templates. Ken writes the Adams on Contract Drafting blog, which the ABA Journal added to its Blawg 100 Hall of Fame in 2015. As one commentator noted recently, “Ken is in a class by himself among gurus on how to say what needs to be said in a contract.”
LegalSifter, the product, reviews contracts in a minute or two using artificial intelligence and the advice of a client’s lawyers and leaders. Clients start by uploading draft contracts that they are negotiating, particularly those written on other party’s paper. Sifters – software trained to read text that learns over time – review the draft contract and identify important legal and business concepts that demand attention or are missing entirely. The Sifters trigger Help Text, in-context advice tailored to the client’s business and negotiation position.
Kevin Miller, LegalSifter’s CEO, says, “Our technology is essential to what we do, but it's only part of the story. Our technology allows us to apply contract expertise where it's most relevant. Having Ken as a hands-on member of our team will send a strong signal to our clients that the help they receive from LegalSifter is state-of-the-art. Ken has demonstrated an unflagging commitment to a more effective contracts process. We’re stronger for having Ken as part of LegalSifter.”
