Services · Legal Ghostwriting Services
Legal ghostwriting services give a lawyer, a firm or a legal author a professional writer who turns their knowledge into articles, books, guides and other published content under their own name. You supply the expertise and the final say. We supply the drafting, the structure and the hours you do not have.
Every project begins with a conversation about what you want to say and who needs to read it. Get a free consultation and we will tell you honestly whether the work suits us. It sits within our wider ghostwriting services, and the same confidentiality rules apply.
We are a writing company, not a law firm. Our writers draft content for the credentialed professional who publishes it. We do not claim that our writers hold law degrees or licenses, and we do not present ourselves as attorneys.
The phrase "legal ghostwriting" is also used for something quite different: a lawyer quietly drafting a court filing for a person who then appears in court alone. That is limited-scope legal representation, and it is regulated. We do not draft pleadings, motions, briefs, contracts or any other document that calls for a lawyer's advice, and nothing we write is legal advice.
What we do is write about the law, in your voice, for readers you want to reach: clients, referral partners, peers, editors and the public. Think of it as the difference between explaining a rule and applying it to someone's facts. We can help with the first, and only a lawyer can do the second.
Our medical and research counterparts work the same way, as you can see on our medical ghostwriting services and scientific ghostwriting services pages.
Solo practitioners who know their field cold but never find a free evening. Partners who are expected to publish and speak while billing full days. In-house counsel who want to share what they have learned. Legal authors with a book in mind, and legal technology founders who need accurate, readable explanations of the area their product serves.
Practice areas vary widely, from estate planning and family law to employment, immigration, intellectual property and business law, and the writing approach changes with each. A client guide on wills needs a different tone from a briefing on a federal regulation. We match the writer's experience of the format to the topic, and you supply the substance.
If you have the knowledge and lack the time, this is for you. Teams that need broader business content can also look at our corporate writing services.
Every piece starts from your notes, your outline or a recorded conversation, so the ideas stay yours and the draft sounds like you. Tell us the audience first: a colleague, a prospective client and an editor each need a different level of detail.
Explanations of a rule change, a trend in your practice area or a mistake clients keep making. We write in plain language so a non-lawyer can follow along, and we keep your citations traceable so you can check each one quickly, and we mark anything that depends on a date or a jurisdiction.
Practice guides for clients, books for a general audience and chapters for a larger project. We plan the structure with you, then draft chapter by chapter, with your review between each stage.
Short, well-sourced pieces on regulatory updates and developments in your field. Statutes and rules can be checked against free sources such as the Legal Information Institute, and you confirm every statement before it goes out. We keep these pieces short on purpose, because a busy reader will finish two pages and abandon ten.
Practice area pages, attorney biographies and recurring client newsletters with one consistent voice. For profiles specifically, see our bio writing services.
Outlines and scripts for seminars, panels and continuing education talks, written to your time slot.
You are the expert, and you remain responsible for what is published. That means you provide the legal substance, you review each draft for accuracy and you approve the final version. Our writers organize, draft and polish. A short note at the top of each draft lists the statements that most need your attention. They do not decide what the law is, and they do not replace your judgment.
What we write is general information, not legal advice, and it must be reviewed by you or another qualified professional before publication. For procedure and court rules, authors often consult the United States Courts website, and you should always confirm current law in your own jurisdiction.
One more thing to plan for: lawyer advertising and communication rules differ by state, and a published article or website page can fall under them. Check your state bar's requirements, including any disclaimers or labels, before anything goes live.
Pricing is quoted per project after a free consultation, as a fixed written quote with milestones and no hidden fees. The main drivers are length, research depth, the number of pieces, revision rounds and how quickly you can review drafts. Our pricing page explains how quotes work across services. A single client alert is a small project, and a book is a large one, so the quote reflects the work. You see the milestones and the amounts in writing and approve them before anything starts.
Timelines are confirmed in the written quote and depend on length, research and the speed of your feedback. Rush schedules are available for an additional fee, quoted up front.
We sign an NDA before work begins. You never need to share privileged client information with us, and we ask you not to. Examples in your content can be generic or fictional, and we are glad to work from anonymized notes. Our team does not discuss your project outside the people assigned to it.
You own everything we write for you. Rights transfer on delivery, confirmed in writing at the start of the project, and you are the sole named author. We keep no copyright, royalty interest or publishing claim. We cannot promise rankings, new clients, speaking invitations or acceptance by any journal.
Using a writer to draft your own thought leadership is common, provided you review it, stand behind it and follow your bar's rules. Requirements differ by state, so ask your state bar if you are unsure about a disclosure or labeling rule.
No. We are a writing company, not a law firm. We write articles, books, guides and marketing content, not filings, contracts or advice. For those you need a licensed attorney.
No. You, as the credentialed professional, are responsible for accuracy, review and sign-off. We flag claims to verify, but we do not confirm what the law says.
Yes. You are the sole author, and rights transfer to you on delivery. Your name stays on the work, and we never take credit or publish it ourselves.
By project, through a fixed written quote after a free consultation. Length, research and revisions shape the figure, and there are no hidden fees once the project begins.
