Plain-language: Generally, the articles are drafted by the relevant lawyers from Maddocks, and then reviewed by international plain-language expert (and Cleardocs CEO) Christopher Balmford. You will notice that they are clear, simple and easy to understand. It's the hallmark of the Cleardocs brand. It's what we do.
