Is this document 100 per cent legal?
Submitted by Alasdair Taylor on Sat, 22/12/2018 - 07:35Clients who are new to legal documentation and may be unfamiliar with the operation of commercial law will sometimes tell me that they want a document that is "100 per cent legal" or similar. However, it is usually not possible to guarantee absolute legality and it may not be even be desirable. It all depends upon what they mean by "legal". There are several different ways in which a legal document may not be legal.
