Some could simply use a refresher on the tools and tips learned years ago in their legal writing classes. Advocacy Editing offers customizable training sessions for your lunch meeting, your weekend retreat, or anything in between. AE can tailor a program--either a lecture and Q & A session or a bring-your-own-case seminar--to address your firm's specific needs. High-quality writing improves your reputation with courts and clients. AE can help.
Coaching
Do you have a promising junior associate who could use a little extra help with writing? Advocacy Editing can work closely with a new attorney to provide guidance on the preparation of a particular pleading or simply be on call to answer questions, review drafts, and instill long-lasting good habits.
