FINAL THOUGHTS
The transition towards plain language in legal contracts is a critical step in demystifying legal documents
and making the legal system more accessible and efficient. The experience of GE, along with numerous
studies, highlights the significant benefits of this approach, including reduced negotiation times, lower
costs, and fewer disputes. As we move forward, the legal community must embrace the principles of
clarity and simplicity to ensure that contracts serve their intended purpose as tools of mutual
understanding and agreement. Let us all commit to this vital mission, for the betterment of our legal
practices and the society we serve. By prioritizing clear communication, we can transform the landscape
of legal contracts, making them not only instruments of precision but also beacons of mutual benefit and
understanding.
