Every writer has a natural range.
I can’t change your natural range.
But I can help you write at the top of it.
“Jeff Dean is one of the most talented legal writers that I’ve observed in my career. At Amazon, his achievements as a litigator and counselor were grounded in his facility with teaching complex legal and scientific concepts to judges, jurors, and clients. Jeff’s mastery of the art of writing clearly and compellingly—in briefs and within Amazon’s writing-centered business culture—was a critical element of how he educated those with whom he worked, and how he successfully managed Amazon’s global IP litigation portfolio—including some of the most complex and highest-stakes cases in our federal system—for over a dozen years.”
“Jeff is the single person most responsible for improving my writing. I credit what I learned from him with contributing to my two wins at the Supreme Court. Jeff’s writing philosophy is not hard to learn, but reflects a thoughtfulness about why we do what we do that extends far beyond anything you have heard in other sessions or read from others.”
“In my 30-year career I worked with a lot of talented lawyers who excel at their craft. Jeff Dean stands out from that bunch. He is unconditionally and unequivocally the best writer I have had the pleasure to work with. He has a thoughtful and unique approach to crafting legal arguments that works for written briefs and oral arguments alike. His writing is engaging, entertaining, and persuasive. I have learned a ton from Jeff and try to pass his teachings on to every young lawyer I work with. I cannot recommend Jeff highly enough for any program that is focused on teaching legal reasoning, writing, and persuasive presentation.”
“Masterful legal writing wins cases. Jeff Dean, like no one I’ve worked with, immerses himself in the craft of clear legal writing. For over three decades, Jeff’s clients have called on him to compose key briefs in complicated and important cases. Like a master watchmaker, Jeff thinks deeply and carefully before assembling precise facts and legal principles into a compelling document that leads to an inescapable conclusion.”
“Persuasive writing is not common and yet it’s one of the most effective tools you can use to convince anyone of anything. I’ve mediated with thousands of attorneys and judges and rarely have I seen such persuasive writing. Dean’s approach will help you write at the best of your innate ability ”
“I’ve served as local counsel in Delaware patent litigation for more than 30 years, and during that time I’ve worked with a lot of very talented lawyers from great law firms and companies across the country. For most of that time, Jeff Dean has been one of the lawyers with whom I’ve worked – first when he was in private practice in Chicago, and then during his years at Amazon. Jeff is the best brief-writer I’ve ever encountered. More than just a demonstration of the thorough mastery of the record and carefully crafted arguments that are expected of all high-quality legal writing, Jeff’s written work is next-level. It has an elegance and sophistication that distinguishes it from the best of the rest. Any company or institution that is embarking on high-stakes litigation in which the clarity and persuasiveness of key written submissions will be of pivotal importance, or that needs an advocate to help resolve such a dispute via mediation, or that is looking for a gifted writer who can meaningfully sharpen the writing skills of its personnel, would benefit greatly from Jeff’s assistance.”
