Today I’m going to start with the takeaways.

That’s one of the key lessons I picked up from “Design Thinking and Visual Advocacy for Lawyers,” an e-book written by intellectual property partner David Gross of Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath with help from his fellow IP litigators Helen Chacon and Kate Razavi, all founding members of the firm’s Design Lab. The book, coming in at a breezy, image- and graphic-heavy 149 pages, was created as a “deliverable” to teach readers the basic concepts of legal design, which the Faegre Drinker team members have spent years and thousands of hours mastering, in about 60 minutes. It’s available for free on the firm’s website and Apple Books.
