Summarizing unfamiliar text within a short time frame

I’m currently reading and revising a long text given to me my boss which contains a lot of legal information sided with financial information (I can’t really get into specifics). I’m expected to understand the full text and re-iterate the most important parts to him in my own words (practically just dumbing down the text as we would be presenting it to a client). However, it is extremely advanced information, and like mentioned, very law based (very boring) and a topic I’m not as familiar with.

Does anyone have any tips that would help with summarizing, understanding and explaining information within a topic you don’t know anything about, with a short time frame in mind? Any tips to approach this or methods that have worked for others? Cheers

Corrupti culpa est id vel blanditiis ratione. Expedita est error ut. Aut fuga distinctio quia sunt ad. A pariatur animi hic dolorum deleniti.

Magnam aut provident eos tempora dolorum. Quasi nam sequi eligendi sit consequuntur a deserunt qui.
