Ken Adams, a leading authority on contract language, is back in Toronto for the eleventh year to teach the Drafting Clearer Contracts series – a set of comprehensive, hands-on contract drafting courses exclusive, in Canada, to OsgoodePD.
This year’s installment will also be the first seminar in North America to feature Ken Adams’ 4th edition of A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting (MSCD). One of the American Bar Association’s best-sellers, the MSCD has become a valued resource to the legal profession as it provides an in-depth survey of the building blocks of contract language.
In “Chapter 19: Letter Agreements” of A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Ken discusses the usage of salutations in letter agreements addressed to a company vs. agreements addressed to an individual of that company.
Traditionally, ‘Dear Sirs’ & ‘To whom it may concern’ were acceptable, even preferred salutations. However, this is no longer the case. The following infographic explains alternatives for addressing entire organizations in letter agreements.
