Koncision Contract Automation’s management consists of its founder and president, Kenneth A. Adams.
According to the Canadian periodical The Lawyers Weekly, “In the world of contract drafting, Ken Adams is the guru.” His book A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting (ABA 2d ed. 2008) is widely used throughout the legal profession. He gives seminars in the U.S., Canada, and internationally, acts as a consultant and expert witness, and is a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
As part of its “Legal Rebels” project, in 2009 the ABA Journal, the flagship magazine of the American Bar Association, named Ken one of fifty leading innovators in the legal profession. And in a 2011 opinion, the Delaware Court of Chancery, the foremost business-law court in the U.S., described A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting as “thought-provoking” and noted that “One can even share and in fact applaud Adams’ encouragement of clearer forms of contract drafting.”
Until December 2010 he maintained the AdamsDrafting blog; the ABA Journal included it in its 2009 and 2010 “Blawg 100”—its list of the hundred best law blogs.
After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1989, Adams practiced corporate law in New York and Geneva, Switzerland, with major U.S. law firms.
To find out how he changed from being a practicing lawyer to being an authority on contract language, see this February 2009 blog post on the AdamsDrafting blog. Go here for a list of his articles. And go here for a list of his mentions in the press. For Ken’s social-media information, go to his blog, The Koncise Drafter. And for his contact information, see the Contact page.
All Ken’s work in contract drafting has been a means to an end, the end in question being commoditization of contract drafting. That’s what he’s seeking to facilitate with Koncision.
