YORK, July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
AltaClaro, the leading experiential legal training platform, today
announced it is releasing its "New Litigator Fast Track Series" to
teach foundational skills to early career litigators as well as a
legal writing program to meet demand for improving associates'
writing. AltaClaro works with one-fifth of the NLJ 500 and nearly
30% of the AmLaw 200 and has trained thousands of associates across
the major law firm practice areas.
"Litigation teams are under more pressure
than ever to deliver value to clients, meaning litigation
associates need to be ready to hit the ground running." -

Launched in 2017 by former lawyers who worked in Biglaw and
Silicon Valley, AltaClaro is an experiential learning platform that
trains legal professionals at scale using a science backed
Learn-Do-Review methodology. This unique approach increases
attorneys' knowledge retention and teaches practical skills and
critical thinking, with assignments that emulate the real
world.
The New Litigator Fast Track Series is designed to prepare
associates to perform billable law firm litigation work more
efficiently. As more clients and in-house legal departments
scrutinize billing and re-evaluate relationships with their firms,
litigation teams are under immense pressure to be efficient and
show value. Remaining competitive means associates need to hit the
ground running. AltaClaro's new series offering will enable law
firm litigation departments to train their associates effectively
and efficiently at scale.
"We are excited to be expanding our course offerings to include
litigation and legal writing," said founder and CEO Abdi Shayesteh. "Litigation teams are under more
pressure than ever to deliver value to clients, meaning litigation
associates need to be ready to hit the ground running. Now
litigation teams can reap the same benefits as our transactional
clients have since 2017: reduced training costs, better trained
associates and happier clients."
Patricia A. Libby, AltaClaro's
Executive Legal Editor and a multi-decade litigator at firms such
as Arnold & Porter, developed the series, with five
courses:
1. Lifecycle of a Case: Overview of Pre-Trial Process
2. Mastering Complaints & Dismissal Motions
3. Building Blocks of Discovery: Written Requests, Documents
& Disputes
4. The Deposition Playbook: Rules, Preparation &
Strategy
5. Essential e-Discovery: An Overview
AltaClaro's new writing course, Successful Writing for Legal
Practice, goes beyond typical legal writing concepts such as
issue-spotting and case analysis to teach lawyers in all practice
areas how to communicate in a way their clients in the business
world expect. The course, delivered with AltaClaro's experiential,
learn-by-doing approach, trains lawyers in universal writing
principles such as organization, flow, grammar and construction,
tone and persuasiveness and will offer associates everything they
need to know to be strong writers in the context of any legal
practice.
"Our legal writing course will bring a unique, much-needed focus
on business and practice-oriented writing skills for early-career
attorneys," said Executive Legal Editor Patricia A. Libby. "Better writing skills is one
of the top requests we hear from partners, yet it's a
time-intensive subject to teach. We're proud to be able to deliver
this training via our experiential, learn-by-doing platform."
Libby, a former legal writing consultant to BigLaw and longtime
instructor at USC Gould School of Law,
designed the writing course and has recruited and vetted
practitioners with top legal writing credentials as session
instructors for the course. Additional courses in the series that
branch out into legal writing specifically for litigators and
transactional attorneys will be released.
AltaClaro's experiential training platform helps law firms
reduce training costs and realize ROI of 386%. The company's
training solution reduces supervision and training time for
partners and senior associates by 10%.
