Summary & Resources

Here’s summary of the techniques we’ve looked at:

Unlocking The Decisive Edge

Pillar 1: Transformative Force in Law

Use the signature sentence pattern (change – point of view – client benefit)
Inject verbs with energy (collide, unlock, shift)

Pillar 2: Counsel with the Decisive Edge

Write shorter sentences and experiment with fragments
Show don’t tell – cite specifics, not superlatives

Pillar 3: Globally Connected Network

Zoom in on real-life situations
Use collective pronouns (we, us), and collaborative verbs (connect, converge)

THIS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED

“Hogan Lovells” or the “firm” is an international legal practice that includes Hogan Lovells International LLP, Hogan Lovells US LLP and their affiliated businesses.

The word “partner” is used to describe a partner or member of Hogan Lovells International LLP, Hogan Lovells US LLP or any of their affiliated entities or any employee or consultant with equivalent standing. Certain individuals, who are designated as partners, but who are not members of Hogan Lovells International LLP, do not hold qualifications equivalent to members.
