Law Firm Style Guides
Team SBA works with law firms to format documents as per law firm style guides. The style guide is bespoke to each firm and can be brief or very detailed and elaborate.
Whichever is the case, Team SBA does a deep dive to understand the nitty gritty of the firm’s style guide. Team SBA can also assist firms to create a bespoke style guide if the firm does not have a style guide. By following the style guide team SBA ensures that all documents produced for the law firm are consistent in style and presentation.
