Agency, Business, and Legal Writing

Of all those arts in which the wise excel

Nature’s chief masterpiece is writing well

Writing well is the most vital and yet the rarest skill in law. By far the most troubling deficiency in the discipline of law is that of written communication. Attorneys sorely need to update and upgrade their writing skills.

This is where The Write House comes in.

The Write House is Africa’s leading authority on legal writing. We have a uniquely firm grasp of legal-writing art and science and have, over the past 11 years, trained delegates from more than 333 organizations. We are peerlessly equipped to provide the curriculum, faculty, materials, and pedagogy for this workshop.

Agency, Business, and Legal Writing is as sweeping a treatment of its subject as you can find anywhere. This 3-day workshop disciplines attorneys to write with communicative effectiveness and efficiency. It also motivates attorneys to prefer clear and coherent language to the legalese and verbosity that have besmirched legal writing for centuries. It features a 1,500-slide PowerPoint presentation, a 635-page course book, challenging exercises, and other training materials.
