Reimagining Legal Documents: From Confusing Legal Jargon to a Powerful Marketing Tool

Episode 110

My guest, Jacqueline Horani, lawyer, legal designer and contracts coach is shifting the paradigm when it comes to legal documents. Rather than perpetuating the creation of boring, confusing, and exclusive contracts meant to protect the elite, Jacqueline is helping her clients reimagine contracts as creative documents that integrate their values, voice, and vision and foster meaningful connections. Learn how removing legal jargon from contracts can build better relationships and become one of your best marketing tools.  

Tune in to this episode as we challenge the status quo and strive for a more inclusive and empowering way to do business.

We also talk about

  • How contracts were originally designed to disempower and keep vital information out of reach

  • How rejecting adversarial language and embracing a win-win approach empowers all parties involved

  • The growing movement within the legal field, including bar associations, to remove jargon and use plain language in contracts

  • What she says to those in the legal field who say documents aren’t valid or legal without legalese


So my work is about how do we shift this approach to contracting where it can become that wildly creative source of ease, clarity, pleasure, joy, connection with your clients.

I recently had the opportunity to pitch to a big client. I was confident that I could do the work but less confident about the process. Working with Katherine inside her Business Development Booster was exactly what I needed.

She coached me on the entire process giving me the exact steps I needed from what questions to ask, how to follow up, what my proposal should include, how to create a presentation that I can reuse, pricing, basically, all.the.things. She has a wealth of experience and I was supported every step of the way.
