Opinion may differ from person to another and is purely based on the interpretation of the expert. Opinions are provided in the matters of law, statute, regulation, circulars etc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px;\">Opinions are given by professionals from every field, but when it comes to providing a legal opinion, it is very important for the legal professional to act with more caution and be very tactful and pertinent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px;\">For a legal opinion to be effective, the three most important factors that should be kept in mind while drafting the opinion are \u2013<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Maintaining the quality of writing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px;\">The purpose of legal opinion is to provide the opinion seeker workable solutions by interpreting the law. Using simple words and avoiding unnecessary verbosity is of utmost importance. A legal opinion should provide clarity. Clarity of expression is very vital while giving a legal opinion. The use of \u2018technical jargon\u2019 should be minimum as it may create a barrier between the professional and the opinion seeker and would lead to dilution of the main purpose of the legal opinion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Developing a non- judgmental approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px;\">\u2018Impartiality\u2019 and the \u2018Willingness to see all the sides of an argument\u2019 are important attributes attached to an effective legal opinion. A professional should not come jump to conclusions without looking into the minutest of the details. It won\u2019t be wrong to consider that, every fact\/information which is provided to the professional is material, and can have the ability to change the entire scenario. Giving a patient hearing the opinion seeker and taking notes in a systematic manner is very crucial as it helps in building a logical approach towards providing an effective legal opinion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Brevity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px;\">Brevity defines good writing. It can be achieved only through planning and thought. It is very vital for a professional providing legal opinion to have immense knowledge about the subject as that would help him\/her in achieving \u2018precision\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px;\">Careful proofreading is particularly important while providing a legal opinion. Spelling, punctuation, or grammatical errors in a document submitted to the court or opinion seeker can undermine one\u2019s credibility as a legal professional.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px;\">Above all, it is very imperative that while drafting a legal opinion, the professional should not only lay down the pros and cons of a particular course of action but should also come down on one side or the other. The opinion seeker relies heavily on such advice, with a view to avoid unnecessary litigation in the future and hence it is very important to be extremely careful in providing opinion sought by the opinion seeker.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/>\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A legal opinion is a viewpoint provided by a legal expert which is considered to be subjective and is usually an outcome of interpretation of law.
