General Editor: Roderick W Ramage BSc (Econ), Solicitor and a team of expert contributors comprised of practitioners from top London and regional firms
"Many small practitioners face a difficult decision when deciding which precedent banks, if any, they need to buy. For many of them, Kelly's provides the answer because it is a one stop shop for clauses and agreements commonly used by practitioners. Impressively, Kelly's includes a whole number of simple and accessible sample clauses and agreements from property to employment to trusts.
Written by a team of leading practitioners, Kelly's has been completely re-organised so the material is split into four sections: general, private client, commercial and not for profit. This is an excellent feature. Like previous editions, the editors have managed to write agreements in plain English ensuring that clients (heaven forbid!) understand the documents. Similarly, each precedent is written in a standard format meaning clauses can be copied and pasted from one document to another with considerable ease.
Because the Companies Act 2006 did not receive Royal Assent before the nineteenth edition was published, the editors promised to produce (unusually for this series) a supplement. For many practitioners, this supplement will be an excellent feature because it gives a number of clear precedents for practitioners to build upon. Similarly, the CD-ROM continues to be easy to navigate with superb cross-references allowing the relevant precedent or clause to be quickly found, exported to a word processing document and amended.
Kelly's continues to be an indispensable resource of the main precedents. By maintaining its one volume of coherent and relevant precedents written in Plain English, the authors ensure Kelly's should remain close to hand. Its price also means it provides excellent value for money and is indispensable to any lawyer who regularly drafts agreements for their clients."
