About the Presenter – Josh Taylor

Josh’s love of this topic shines through, and he has presented the material earlier this year at the Chicago Bar Association’s Membership Appreciation Week festivities. Josh serves as Smokeball’s “attorney-in-residence” driving thought leadership and legal content marketing. A trained litigator, Josh came to Smokeball with a hunger to help small firms do better in every way.

He has traveled the country working with and learning from lawyers and their staff, and he speaks regularly to bar associations about successful law firm practices. Josh holds his J.D., cum laude, from Washington University in St. Louis, where he served as a Senior Editor of the Wash. U. Law Review, Thompson Coburn Research Fellow, and clerked at the U.S. District Court for the E.D. Missouri. He holds a B.A. and B.M. from UConn in his hometown of Storrs, Connecticut.

As legal writing guru Bryan Garner reminds us, “writing well is a big deal.”

Reserve your seat — hope to have you there!
