1:1 Writing Coaching

What does your writing process look like? What does your editing process look like? What are your readers’ needs, expectations, and limitations? How do you separate your thinking from your communicating about a legal problem? What goals do you have to take your legal writing to the next level, and how will you know you’re making progress? These are some of the questions Caroline explores with lawyers in 1:1 coaching sessions. Whether you’re in the early years of practice or you’re a seasoned pro, writing is a skill to refine throughout your career. Caroline is there with supportive, personalized, and evidence-based advice for every stage.

Factum Strategy & Review

The best litigators know that the secret to success is getting out of their own heads and into the judge’s. Caroline knows the way. She regularly consults for litigation teams on high-stakes motions, applications, and appeals. Caroline brings not just fresh eyes to complex cases, but a unique perspective drawn from her deep knowledge of how judges actually do their work.

Before you begin your written submissions, Caroline can help to identify your strongest arguments. After you’ve polished a draft, Caroline can give feedback on its structure, substance, style, and overall persuasiveness.
