“As a largely self-taught professional in the area of contract review and drafting, I appreciate that Rikka Academy classes bridge the gap between legal theory and practical application.

Charlyn has a keen ability to explain complex contract provision concepts in an easy to understand way without too much information overload.

She ensures continuity, active engagement and focus throughout the course by having students work through a case study drafting project where we apply the principles learned each week to an increasingly complex fact pattern.

As a result of attending Rikka Academy, I feel more confident in my ability to flag issues and better equipped to construct a set of terms meeting business objectives.” 

~ Lily L., Senior Paralegal

“Charlyn is an excellent drafting coach who imparts her deep law firm and industry experience on her students. Charlyn’s comprehensive approach to the contract drafting process was, for me, the most beneficial aspect of the course.

Each week, Charlyn taught a lesson aimed at specific contracting provisions, and followed-up with a take-home assignment that required me to employ these skills in the form of a contract drafting exercise. 

After working with Charlyn, I am a more confident and intentional contract drafter, and my supervising attorneys think so too.”

~Ross H.,  Amlaw 50 Big Law Associate

“Charlyn's expertise was evident, and her ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner made the training both informative and engaging.

Charlyn’s comprehensive approach to contract drafting helped me better understand the interrelation between the contract concepts and develop a process to think through the business’s issues.

Between the group and individualized sessions and the practical exercises, my improvement was noticeable and I received positive feedback from supervising attorneys on my growth.

The contract drafting training I received from Rikka Academy was exceptional. I would highly recommend this training to anyone who wants to learn how to draft effective contracts.”

~Mike N., Amlaw 50 Big Law Associate

“The opportunity to have such close engagement with someone as experienced and at the top of the line as Charlyn is absolutely invaluable.

Charlyn is able to explain contract concepts in a way that is accessible to students at all levels, and she always encourages us to think practically about its real-life applications.

Coming into the class as a total beginner to contract drafting, I have left it with a strong groundwork, the tools, and importantly, the confidence to continue to build upon what I've learned from Charlyn.

She emphasizes the significance in learning not only how to be a skilled drafter, but how to think like a skilled drafter.

And the latter is something that her students will carry with them and will really serve them well for the rest of their careers.”  

~Sophia L., Amlaw 50 Big Law Associate

“I decided to try Rikka Academy because I wanted to improve my contract drafting skills. I was blown away by the quality of content and the expertise of my instructor, Charlyn Ho.

The academy offers really good instruction and resources designed specifically for legal practitioners.

Whether you are looking to deepen your knowledge in the area of contracts or enhance your practice efficiency, you’ll benefit from the Rikka Academy. I highly recommend.”

~Daniel R., Legal Norcal Owner and Founder

“I have been complimented for my drafting skills throughout my career. 

This was largely due to Charlyn reviewing contracts with me line by line for the first two years of my career to arm me with the necessary context and bring that skill into other domains”.
