Legal writing and legal content writing are two different things.
While they both require legal knowledge, the content piece implies a different audience: everyday people. Regular folks often don’t know or understand dense legal terminology, so it’s our job to help explain complex topics in a web-friendly way. We’re seeking SMART people who understand this difference and are willing to bring clarity and value to anyone who’s seeking answers. We’re looking for attorneys (or those who are on their way to becoming one). We’re looking for people who LOVE to write and who are open to technology. We’re looking for the best of the best.
Work Location:
Remote. But you must live in the US to be considered for this position.
