Ross Guberman is the president of Legal Writing Pro LLC, a training and consulting firm. He has conducted more than a thousand programs on three continents for many of the largest and most prestigious law firms, for federal judges, and for dozens of government agencies and bar associations.

Ross is also a Professorial Lecturer in Law at the George Washington University Law School, where he teaches a seminar on drafting and writing strategy.

Ross holds degrees from Yale, the Sorbonne, and the University of Chicago Law School.

Ross’s Point Made: How to Write Like the Nation’s Top Advocates became an Amazon bestseller shortly after it was published by Oxford University Press in 2011. Reviewers have praised it as a “tour de force,” “a must for the library of veteran litigators,” and “an indispensable tool”

filled with “practical, trenchant advice.” His next book will be on how to write like the world’s greatest judges.

An active member of the bar, Ross is also a former professional musician, translator, and award-winning

journalist. After the federal takeover of Fannie Mae in 2008, Slate magazine called his 2002 article about the company “totally brilliant and prescient.” In her 2011 bestseller Reckless Endangerment, New York Times business columnist Gretchen Morgenson called the article “groundbreaking” and said that it “made even the most jaded Washingtonian take note.”

Ross has commented on business, law, writing, training, and lawyer development for newspapers, radio stations,

and television networks. Among the major international conferences he has addressed are the American Society

for Training and Development, the NALP’s Annual Education Conference, the Professional Development

Consortium, the Professional Development Institute, and the Association for Continuing Legal Education.

The American Society for Training & Development awarded Ross its Certified Professional in Learning and Performance™ credential for passing a rigorous eight-part test and for creating a standardized writing assessment that he has since administered to more than a thousand lawyers.

A Minnesota native, Ross lives with his wife and two children outside Washington, DC.
