Clients will want to know more about what affects their business, and while including legal risks is good and demonstrates sound knowledge, it is always advised to personalise it to the client and their business/wider industry. Still discuss legal risks where necessary and where you are told to do so, but ensure you [B]link[/B] this back to the client. [B][I][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Think of it this way. In the phrase commercial law, commerce comes before law.[/COLOR] [/I] [U]Other tips:[/U][/B] - Avoid technical knowledge or jargon. - Write succinctly and clearly. - Do not break down obvious things a client will know about their own sector. Also helps save word count. - Structure… have you addressed everyone accurately? Signed off and started with the right formalities? Have you used headings? [/QUOTE]
