LEGALESE DECODED
Tips and Strategies To Make Sense of Legal Concepts in the Business World
Welcome to Legalese Decoded - Where Law meets Business.
This book aims to create awareness of legal issues that one may encounter in corporate business transactions. Here, you will not see legalese, terms of art, or legal definitions but will find relevant legal concepts and best practices explained in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
You will find this particularly helpful if you need a better understanding of the GDPR, participate in negotiations, handle issues you encounter in the life-cycle of a contracting process starting from the bidding stage through termination of the contractual relationship, and better understand the risks and potential of new technologies in business.
Some parts of the book may relate to you more than the others. Take what resonates with you and leave the rest.

Is this book for me?
Have you ever had to deal with legal documents or contracts and couldn’t get them off your hands soon enough?
Not sure if you can sign off on that investor agreement?
Maybe words like “GDPR compliance,” “outsourcing contracts,” or “re-negotiations” make you feel strangely queasy.
If you have ever been in a business meeting, wishing for more clarity on those legal terms, but hesitated to ask for fear of being misunderstood; or if the very idea of discussing legal concepts bores you to tears, then this book is for you.
This book demystifies and puts into perspective those legal terms and obligations you encounter as a corporate executive or entrepreneur and decisions that could have potential legal consequences. If you are a young lawyer new to the corporate world, this book will help you make sense of the business aspects of your job.
It is a handbook filled with tips to handle issues that do not require profound legal erudition but a well thought out action that could prevent legal issues. It will help you recognize potential red flags, prevent easily avoidable mistakes, and realize when you are out of depth.
