二十一世紀(jì)寫好合同的五十招(英漢對照)
Welcome to the 21st Century. Where practicing law requires us to don the garb of computers and the Internet. And where litigation is as costly as ever. Lawyer bills running $10,000 a month are not unusual in a hotly contested breach of contract lawsuit. With every word, phrase and sentence carrying the potential for winning or losing, the stakes are high. Simple logic, therefore, directs us to cautious and thoughtful drafting.
新世紀(jì)的到來,要求我們在法律實踐中應(yīng)該多用電腦和互聯(lián)網(wǎng),不過,訴訟成本還是那么地高,面對日益競爭激烈的違約訴訟,律師每月開出1萬美元的賬單也是常有的事。合同中的每一個字,每一個詞,每一句話,都意味著潛在的輸或贏,換句話說,押在這上面下的賭注也很大,所以,在起草合同時要把握兩條原則:小心謹(jǐn)慎和深思熟慮。
