“Whereas… heretofore… Be It Witnessed That…”
Why do Recitals sections look the way they do? Can you improve your contracts with Recitals that are a little less Latin and a little more legible story?
According to Sonya Shaykhoun, author of our latest ebook “How to Use Recitals in a Contract,” you definitely should.
While the Recitals section is often overlooked gibberish bordering on Shakespearean prose, it serves an important purpose. You can ground a deal in an agreed history and that can have substantive legal impact.
In this ebook, Shaykhoun shares insights about:
- Using Recitals to establish a deal story;
- Frameworks for what you should include in Recitals versus the body of the contract; and
- The legal effect of Recitals.
Don’t turn the earliest section of your contract into a dull trudge through archaic language. Make it plain and useful.
