Legal Writer & Content Manager

Our client is seeking a Legal Content Manager to serve as their strategic editorial voice. This is a senior, remote role for a legally trained professional who can bridge the gap between technical law and market influence. You won't just be "writing articles"; you will be translating complex legal successes into a compelling commercial narrative that resonates with C-suite executives and global legal directories. The ideal candidate is a proactive researcher who stays ahead of legal developments and identifies content opportunities before they are assigned.

Client Overview

Our client is a premier Sydney-based boutique law firm specializing in high-stakes disputes and insolvency. The firm is defined by a commitment to ‘Mastery That Matters’—providing sophisticated, commercially-driven solutions for clients at the highest levels of the market. They operate with the precision of a top-tier firm and the agility of a boutique, offering a high-performance environment for professionals who take pride in their craft.

Schedule

Monday - Friday, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM AEST/AEDT, but can have some flexibility (40 work hours per week)

Responsibilities

• Strategic Thought Leadership: Produce high-impact articles, client alerts, and case studies that position the firm as the primary authority in disputes and insolvency.
• Global Directory Submissions: Lead the end-to-end drafting and submission process for Chambers, Legal 500, and Doyles Guide, ensuring our most complex matters are framed for maximum market impact.
