Legal Tips & Best Practices
Target grade 10–12 for client communications
Legal letters and client updates should be understandable by non-lawyers. Aim for grade 10–12 while maintaining necessary legal terms.
Simplify terms of service
Many jurisdictions now require plain-language terms. Check your ToS readability and simplify where possible.
Use defined terms consistently
Define complex legal terms once, then use them consistently. This improves readability without sacrificing precision.
