Hillary is interested in corporate communications, including press releases, internal/external corporate communications, executive speechwriting, talking points and Q&As. Given her legal background, she is also interested in writing about legal topics, including legislative or public policy issues, as well as litigation-related topics. Newswriting, copy writing, and social media content drafting are also areas of interest, as Hillary began her career in the news industry.
Having practiced as a litigator for nearly five years, Hillary has extensive experience drafting legal documents and understanding the legal process. She was the primary author of many motion documents, including dispositive motions. Additionally, through her experience conducting internal investigations, she has substantial experience drafting reports for boards of directors regarding the outcome of those investigations.
Hillary has written more than 1,000 articles during her career. The majority of these were written during her time at CBSNews.com, where she wrote at least 3-4 bylined articles a day for the network's web site, often on extremely tight deadlines. This included both analyzing the day's top news stories for a column that appeared daily on the web site's home page, as well as multiple articles per day for "Public Eye," the network's first ombudsman.
Hillary has drafted press releases and associated corporate communications for a broad range of private and public companies on various high-profile matters in the areas of litigation, shareholder activism, financial communications, and crisis management. These communications were often produced under tight deadlines and under highly sensitive circumstances.
