Course Description
In modern business, clients expect their lawyers to prove their value by providing legal advice that is not merely legally correct but that also demonstrates a business-oriented approach to problem solving.
In this course, you will receive tools for crafting advice that clients value by directly addressing their fundamental business problems.
Training Outcomes
After the course, you will be able to do the following:
Ensure that all legal advice begins with the main point.
Provide reasoning for your arguments that is clear and persuasive.
Anticipate and address client questions in a clear and confident manner.
Sample Topics
This course is an advanced version of our Clear Legal Writing course. It teaches principles that go beyond mere clarity to address even more fundamental concerns of clients. For example:
How to present legal advice that gets through to busy and impatient executives.
How to answer difficult questions in a direct, yet analytically-sophisticated, manner.
How to pleasantly surprise non-lawyers by avoiding the common legal practice of hiding key points.
