When I’m gnawing on, teasing open and whittling down a word into a perfect piece of understanding, I'm in the zone, and at my best. This is brilliant for my clients. If you’re like most lawyers, crafting words into a perfect argument is what motivates you doesn’t it? Proofreading, formatting and editing: not so much. You’ve probably got better things to do than to waste time on the minutiae and mundane.My name is Pam, author, Jay Shetty fan and document savant specialising in helping small to medium-sized law firms and in-house legal teams maintain a consistent brand by creating House style templates.There’s nothing worse than snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and stumbling at the finish line. A poorly formatted and clumsy document full of inaccuracies can trip up any brilliantly crafted argument.Best case scenario is wasted time (and billable hours) fixing and formatting a botched document. Worst case scenario is losing a case, a client and your hard-fought reputation.And, you know what? It’s not even your fault, and you’re not alone. No author on the planet can edit their own work. They’re too involved in conceptualising and crafting to see the blind spots.That’s my superpower. Finding the blind spots. I can spot a section break, split infinitive, spelling mistake and homonym from 10 feet. I have worked in the legal industry for more than 20 years. During this time, I have edited, proofread, and formatted thousands of documents. Not without a bit of eye-strain, that's for sure.I’m known for my eagle eye or as I like to say, my ‘leagle eye’ (that should be the only spelling mistake in this entire piece of text).Some unkind people have called me the grammar police. I think they’re right, and I can live with that. I love nothing more than taking a messy document and turning it into a perfect piece of understanding.My team and I can help your firm with:• Formatting and language: editing and proofreading• Typing: Copy typing, dictation and transcription• Knowledge management: Creating and maintaining a database of precedents• Training: Document formatting for lawyers: Become self-sufficient in Microsoft Word and create high quality legal documents If you’d like to find out more about my services, please reach out to me at pam@pmvvirtualassistant.com
