Hi, I’m Amanda. I help people become better writers. Legal writing can be hard. Learning legal writing should not be. Work with me and you’ll see! My email is [email protected], and my website is dear1L.com. (You can also get there at AmandaHaverstick.com.) Here’s a snapshot of how I can help you. 🟦 INDIVIDUAL ATTORNEYS I work with attorneys of all levels, from junior associate to partner. Legal writing is time consuming. Producing top-quality, persuasive legal writing is even more so. ▪️ Stop the late-nights spinning out of control, trying to organize your points and put words together into crisp sentences. ▪️ I can shepherd you through the process and provide the kind of 1:1 attention and mentoring your employer may not offer. ▪️ I’ve been in the trenches like you; I know what BigLaw litigators expect. I can make your time as a legal writer more productive, less stressful, and more rewarding for you. 🟦 LAW FIRMS If you’re a law-firm partner who feels frustrated with the writing skills of your associates, I can help. ▪️ Let me be the ”Senior Counsel” who reviews and improves drafts BEFORE they land on your desk. ▪️ I’ll cut down the time you spend editing and eliminate the frustration you feel when being handed sub-par work that someone has to rewrite. ▪️ In the process, I’ll teach your lawyers everything I know about legal writing—much the way one of your own Senior Counsel or Jr. Partners would (if they had the time and inclination). 🟦 LAW STUDENTS I offer law students the same 1:1 attention I offer attorneys. If you invest in yourself early, your returns will be exponentially greater than if you wait. Why wait? Start your first legal job on the right foot and avoid getting walls of red ink back on your writing projects. Start today! 🟩 About Me I’ve been a Labor & Employment Law litigator since 1996. I spent ~20 years in BigLaw and in-house working at a Fortune 500 company. Since Jan 2021, I’ve been working with lawyers and law students to try to improve their legal writing. My husband Matt and I live in a suburb of Philly and have three young-adult daughters. Matt, a practicing attorney, serves as a managing partner at a medium-sized firm in Philly. His work now enables me to follow my passion for writing and teaching. ⭐️ Here are ice breakers you can talk to me about: Being a working parent; tennis; my favorite place, Newport, RI. I look forward to connecting with you! 💌 Amanda (Dec 15, 2023) www.writinglawtutors.com [email protected]
