How To Write Clear And Concise

To maximize the persuasive power of your writing, focus first on your own well-being. Drafting a brief is stressful. The blank screen torments us all, from first-year associates to senior partners. But it does not have to be that way. With a reliable drafting routine, you can minimize the stress of writing an initial draft. Conquering first-draft anxiety quickly will help you write a more persuasive brief. That is because you will give yourself time to edit and revise your brief to make it clear and concise. If your writing is clear and concise, then your audience, whether it be a court, an arbitral tribunal, or a regulator, is more likely to understand your argument. Helping your reader understand your argument is essential to persuading your reader to agree with you. In other words, if you are kind to yourself, you can be kind to your reader, and if you are kind to your reader, you can win for your client.
