The Future Is Automated. Advocacy Isn't.
As technology transforms legal work, the human skills that build trust and shape outcomes can’t be automated. Vox Vera trains top lawyers in the physical craft of advocacy—how to breathe, speak, and connect with presence when everything is on the line.
We understand what’s at stake because we’ve operated at the highest levels—BigLaw litigation, Fortune 50 dealmaking, elite performance experience, and developing and teaching law school courses at Stanford, Berkeley, and U.Chicago. Drawing from this foundation, we teach embodied techniques as a rigorous craft—not shortcuts or scripts—so you and your team can deliver with clarity, confidence, and authentic connection when it matters most.
In the Age of AI, Human Performance Is Your Competitive Edge
The Skills We Teach:
-
Speak with grounded clarity that builds trust
-
Inhabit any space with compelling presence
-
Navigate high-stakes moments with authenticity and gravitas
-
Develop the physical skills that drive results in the Age of AI
The Hidden Cost of Brilliant Lawyers Who Can't Connect
Your top lawyers present strong cases but struggle to connect with juries. Partners with incredible legal minds and industry knowledge often falter in client pitches and negotiations. The gap isn’t intellect or substance—it’s that they’ve never been trained in the physical craft of communication beyond content: Voice. Presence. Connection. The human elements that build trust when everything is on the line.
Studies show these factors influence litigation and negotiation outcomes, client relationships, and leadership potential. Yet too many firms invest nothing in physical presence and embodied delivery skills, leaving billions in business and reputation at risk as automation makes these skills increasingly essential.
At Vox Vera, we bridge this gap by giving top legal professionals performance tools drawn from communication science, stagecraft, and real-world legal experience. Our approach is rigorous, practical, interdisciplinary, and empowering—built to help your lawyers deliver and connect with clarity, confidence, and authentic presence when it matters most—in the courtroom, the boardroom, and beyond.
"This was an incredibly fun session and truly helped to put everyone at ease, I think it really set the tone for the rest of the off-site."—Attorney, Leading Entertainment Law Boutique
"This is one of the best classes I have taken at Stanford. I learned many of the fundamental techniques that underly public speaking, including breath work, improvisation, and audience engagement. Paul is incredibly patient and thoughtful in his instruction. . . . Every student should take this course."—Student, Stanford Law School

Litigation Training & Trial Consulting
The greatest litigators don't just argue—they perform. They stay calm under pressure, connect with judges and juries, and deliver their message with clarity and conviction.
At Vox Vera, we know litigation from the inside out—motion practice, discovery, trial, ADR, and appeals. That real-world experience informs everything we do.
Delivering in court is a physical skill, and it requires dedicated training and practice. Like top athletes, great advocates coach for the moments that matter most. We help litigators and trial teams:
Develop authentic courtroom presence and gravitas,
Transform strong arguments into compelling advocacy,
Refine their voice, timing, and delivery for maximum impact, and
Help their witnesses connect with clarity and confidence.
Through tailored one-on-one coaching, workshops & CLEs, and mock trial, trial, and appellate consulting, we bring the craft of world-class performance to your team—so you can connect, persuade, and deliver when it counts.
"That was wonderful. . . . so many useful strategies that can help us all."—Assistant Staff Counsel, American Bar Association
Transactional & Negotiation Training
Great dealmakers understand strategy, precision, and their clients’ business. The very best also know how to communicate with presence, persuasion, and discipline—because deals are built on trust as much as terms.
With more than 15 years negotiating multi-million-dollar, headline-making talent and rights agreements in-house for top Hollywood studios, we understand the pressures—and the pitfalls. A single poorly framed offer or ill-timed move can cost credibility, clients, and opportunity.
At Vox Vera, we bring our deep dealmaking and in-house experience to help you and your team excel in high-stakes negotiations and strengthen client relationships. Through one-on-one coaching, workshops and CLEs, and deal consulting, we equip top transactional lawyers with advanced communication and presence skills to listen strategically, frame persuasively, and negotiate with clarity and confidence—so you can lead with authority and deliver for your clients.
