Musings on design thinking and UX in law-law land.
Small fixes can make a huge impact.

It's about making legal information accessible, actionable, and genuinely useful.

Let's make contracts better. Break that wall.

Are there any tips or tricks you'd recommend?

The good news is you don't need a team of designers or expensive tools to fix it.

A lot of the time, all you need is a different mindset and some Word-friendly formatting.

Is there anything more demoralising than having to read a "wall of text" in a contract?

You know, the dense, wordy, bland, and unreadable kind.

The one that we're all taught is the "right" way to do things.

It’s time to change.

Did ISO just kill legal jargon? ☠️

​There's a new standard for plain language in legal communication - ISO 24495-2:2025.

This is formal recognition that clarity and usability are now a must-have for all things legal.

But is it a game changer?
