寫好英文合同方法(doc 12頁)(中英文)

1. Ask your client to list the deal points. This can be in the form of a list, outline or narration. Doing this will help the client focus on the terms of the agreement.
1.要求你的客戶列出合同交易的要點，也可以說是合同的清單、目錄或概述。這一招首先幫助你的客戶弄清合同的重點所在。
2. Engage your client in "what if" scenarios. A good contract will anticipate many possible factual situations and express the parties’ understanding in case those facts arise. Talking to your client about this will generate many issues you may not otherwise consider.
2.讓你的客戶提供一些假設可能發生的情況。好的合同不僅能夠預見到許多可能發生的情況，而且還能清楚地描述出發生這些情況後合同雙方的立場。和客戶聊這些情況將有助於你發現一些你可能沒有考慮到的問題。
3. Ask your client for a similar contract. Frequently, clients have had similar transactions in the past or they have access to contracts for similar transactions.
3.請求你的客戶提供類似的合同。通常情況下，客戶都保留著過去的交易記錄或者是類似合同。
4. Search your office computer or the Internet for a similar form. Many times you can find a similar form on your computer. It may be one you prepared for another client or one you negotiated with another lawyer. Just remember to find and replace the old client’s name. Starting with an existing form saves time and avoids the errors of typing.
4.在辦公室的電腦中或是在因特網上搜索類似的合同範本。通常你會在你的電腦上找到你想要的東西，這些類似的合同範本要麼是你給其他客戶準備的，要麼是你和其他的律師共同協商起草的。使用這些舊合同可以為你節省時間和避免打印錯誤，不過，用這些合同範本時別忘了替換掉老客戶的名字。
