In Brazil and Portugal, clear contracts are increasingly emphasized in modern business practices as companies adopt transparency standards. In the USA, the concept of 'plain language' in contracts has become a legal best practice, particularly in consumer protection and corporate governance. Both cultures recognize that clear contracts reduce litigation costs and improve business relationships.
