The ability to communicate in any profession is important, but it is even more so as a lawyer. You are advising your clients on matters that affect their businesses and personal lives. They rely on you to advise and guide them correctly, and you do not want to find yourself in a situation where your client is unhappy with a result because they did not fully understand a part of the transaction.

"When talking with clients about legal matters, I do not use jargon. If jargon is unavoidable, I make sure to fully explain what I mean by using that term. The contract is the most complex part of the M&A transaction, so I would give my client time to read the actual contract. Then I would go over the contract line by line and verbally discuss it with them. This would ensure the transaction covers what they expect and the client understands exactly what they are signing."
