Every transaction is unique in its own way, and therefore
particular attention must be paid to anything one drafts, Despina
Priala stresses. In an evolving landscape – namely the commencement
of the Unfair Contract Terms regime – lawyers must take particular
care in how they’re servicing clients and their individual needs,
starting with being a good listener.
In this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
is joined by Priala Legal director and legal practitioner Despina
Priala to discuss why care in the drafting of contracts is more
important than ever in the current climate, whether artificial
intelligence is increasingly being used in the drafting of
contracts, and the commencement of the Unfair Contract Terms regime
and its implications for the practitioners.
Ms Priala also reflects on whether getting back to basics in
contract drafting is required, whether there are particular
questions that practitioners must be asking of their clients, why
being a good listener remains so essential, creating time for the
fundamentals of being a boutique firm owner, and ensuring the best
advice possible in idiosyncratic circumstances for clients.
