quick grammar question

Alright, I think I've been looking at this too long and am starting to confuse myself.

Is it

"in preparation of" or,

"in preparation for"?

    More context would be useful, but in general for you prepare for things.

    PS-- "Alright" isn't a real word. It's "all right."

    "Alright" is an acceptable alternate spelling that's been in use since the 19th century.

    "In preparation for litigation" was what I originally had, but for some reason doubted myself and switched to "of." I think I should switch back.

    PS. I beg to differ

    "In preparation for litigation" means "the purpose of my preparation is to litigate". This is probably what you mean.
