Legal Research and Writing

Careful research and clear writing are the foundation of our appellate and motion practice, and we offer them as a stand-alone service to law firms, in-house legal departments, and individual authors.

For law firms. We research and write briefs, motion papers, and legal memoranda, and we provide focused, objective research on specific legal questions. If you are in a small office with a complicated, time-consuming case, we can take on a defined project or supply a second set of eyes on yours.

For in-house counsel. We prepare legal memoranda on specific questions and can review another attorney’s work product, including outside counsel’s briefs and memoranda, with a fresh and objective eye.

For authors. We edit legal manuscripts, articles, and treatises, whether you are already published or hoping to be. We check structure, clarity, and accuracy, including citations, and we help you present your ideas so that readers can use them.

Our background. Michael Rosenhouse is a former managing editor of American Jurisprudence (2d) and American Law Reports, Federal, a contributing editor of Williston on Contracts (4th ed.), and the author of New York Pattern Jury Instructions Companion Handbook and New York Trial Objections.

How we work. Tell us what you need, the deadline, and the format. We agree on scope and fees before we start, and we keep your work confidential.  If your project is tied to a particular filing in a pending case, see our Motions and Other Limited Projects page.

We use AI tools to work efficiently and, whenever confidential information or an unpublished manuscript is involved, only tools designed to protect it.  Learn more about how we use technology.

Call or email our office to discuss your project.

This page provides general information, not legal advice. Contacting us does not create an attorney–client relationship; representation begins only if we both agree to it.
