Legal Reporter Position
If you have been called to the bar or are a qualified solicitor and are looking for a change of pace, then perhaps you would be intrigued by the opportunity to become a valued law reporter. Our client is a prestigious legal publisher with an international readership and requires a law reporter to attend a variety of hearings and record notes on potentially ground-breaking judgements, summaries, and rulings.
You will be required to take the initiative and confidently liaise with management on matters such as whether a case is worthy of publishing and allocation of time/resources. You will need to proofread, edit, and format judgements into the in-house style. You will be in constant communication with judges and other court staff regarding approval for your law reports to be published.
Exceptional written and communication skills are essential. Also required are strong organisation skills, which include managing your time efficiently, meeting deadlines, handling administration, archiving old/non-reportable cases, and working in tandem with other team members. A comprehensive understanding of legal judgements and the ability to communicate this concisely in writing are also necessary.
Only candidates who are qualified solicitors or have been called to the bar (pupillage not essential) will be considered. The position offers considerable flexibility to fulfill your duties within the broad requirements of the role, including court attendance where necessary. Excellent pension arrangements are provided.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone called to the bar who is exploring an alternative career path or is not currently seeking pupillage.
McKinlay Law endeavours to contact all successful candidates within 24 hours. Due to the volume of applications, we are not able to respond to every candidate individually. If you have not heard from us within 24 hours, your application has been unsuccessful, and your details will not be retained.
