>>10760288
Do you routinely write sentences in which people have to go back to the first part to understand the end part?

Like someone said before, phrase structure is clumsy and sounds awkward.

How about we put that "a few weeks back" next to the verb so that the connection is clearer. "A few weeks back we partnered with AccordHD, who is building smart contracts"

You don't want to strat the sentence with something trivial. They partnered with someone and that's the important part here. If that sentence were to be re-constructed it should say: We partnered with @AccordHQ, a company building smart legal contracts, a few weeks back

it's definitely a clumsy sentence and any marketing department with a real copy writer or editor would not publish that, but it's grammatically correct. At least there's no typos, and given the state of the website, that's all we can really expect.
