Drafting support for motions, responses, replies, memoranda of law, and other litigation documents. Andrew works from the materials and objectives provided by counsel, with responsibilities and final review defined by the engagement.
Overflow support
& editorial review.

Appellate research
& brief writing.
Research and drafting support for appellate issues, including analysis of the record and applicable standards of review, issue development, and briefing for attorney clients. The engagement defines the assignment, deadlines, and respective responsibilities.
Law firm workflow
& management.
With more than 15 years of law firm management experience, Andrew works with attorneys and firms to assess how legal work moves through the practice. He brings a technical understanding of firm dynamics to workflow creation, management, and optimization.
Practical systems
