[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 242005, member: 42112"] Hey! In a memorandum, I'd say that the conclusion should be concise and practical - the aim is to clearly answer the question posed, confirm your overall recommendation, and briefly flag any key risks or uncertainties. You should try to avoid introducing new law or facts at this stage. It is also helpful to end by indicating next steps or offering to look into any points further, keeping the tone professional! In relation to your second question, a short advice note is essentially a more concise, client-focused version of a report. It prioritises clear and actionable advice over a detailed discussion. You would usually set out the issue briefly, explain what the client should do and why, highlight any major risks that are likely to be important to the client, and suggest practical next steps. Compared to a report, it is likely to be shorter and more direct, and focused on judgment and clarity rather than depth. I hope that helps! :) [/QUOTE]
