Disclaimer

Nothing gladdens an attorney’s heart more than an artfully penned disclaimer. Where a client will see that page of tightly margined eight-point font at the back of his PowerPoint as a mere texture, the same tract, to a commercial lawyer, represents a power, beauty, and precision impossible to articulate to the laity. A good disclaimer will cantilever itself off the page and into three-dimensional spacetime, even curving itself into a fourth or fifth dimension.
