Training Benefits
Tom’s writing training will help your firm decrease its hiring costs and increase your attorneys’ efficiency and productivity.
Tom’s training will ease your partners’ work stress and help you retain your associates.
By helping your attorneys write more confidently, efficiently, and powerfully, Tom will deliver the following results. First, your partners will significantly reduce the time and mental energy they devote to reviewing and revising your attorneys’ work. Thus, these partners will get to devote more time to client development, client counseling, committee work, and their personal lives. Second, your clients will receive better drafts sooner, so they will remain satisfied. Third, you will retain more of your attorneys. Confident, capable writers stick; poor writers do not. And your attorneys’ morale will improve because they will more likely provide the high-level work product your partners expect. Your attorneys will also see that your firm will invest in their professional growth. Happy associates stay put—and bill more efficiently at higher rates.
Tom’s training will save your firm money.
Your firm will no longer need to jettison attorneys who generally perform well, but whose writing needs to improve. Instead, your firm can invest in improving your attorneys’ writing skills rather than starting fresh—with all its attendant costs, dislocation, and damage to attorney morale.
Tom’s training provides more value than internal training.
Tom provides these benefits by offering elite, cost-effective training that your firm likely could not replicate if your tried to provide similar training internally. Tom’s extensive clinical teaching experience lets him expertly explain how your attorneys can implement his suggested writing techniques—and why they need to. He has also developed a plain, distinct lexicon that he uses to illustrate his teaching points. Partners—while they may be great writers—lack Tom’s teaching experience, lexicon, and finely honed teaching materials.
And your partners’ time costs more than Tom’s time. So Tom can devote more time to creating and providing immersive learning experiences—like challenging writing exercises and detailed written critiques—that your partners likely could not replicate because of the myriad demands on their time.
