    Employment Knowledge Lawyer - News

    Exciting new role in online intelligence service

    Are you an outstanding employment lawyer looking for a change of direction? Wanting to obtain a better work life balance and yet remain at the cutting edge of legal developments?

    FromCounsel, the leading online legal intelligence service for law firms and in-house lawyers, is looking for a knowledge lawyer to join its News Team on either a full-time or part-time basis.

    Since its launch in 2017, FromCounsel has developed a reputation for offering an unmatched knowledge service to corporate lawyers. Our aim is to make our legal content more comprehensive, more insightful and more accessible than anyone else in the market. With over 90% of the leading 100 corporate law firms as just some of our clients in corporate law, FromCounsel has now expanded into other areas, including employment, and has recently launched its new Employment service, bringing FC's unique approach to the employment law market.

    FC Employment Knowledge

    Our new best-in-class employment law resource provides Q&A-structured legal knowledge written by barristers from Cloisters Chambers, the leading employment law chambers, and FC's expert knowledge lawyers. The service addresses the questions and issues faced by employment practitioners and provides clear answers, even on the most difficult or grey areas. The resource is designed for practitioners in private practice, in-house legal and HR teams and caters for all levels, from trainees through to partners and professional support lawyers. For more information see our brochure.

    The opportunity

    This is an unrivalled opportunity to join a dynamic and rapidly expanding digital business. We are in an exciting phase of our ongoing development and you will play an integral part in the growth of a ground-breaking legal information service.

    Key responsibilities

    • researching and reviewing sources to identify and assess matters of relevance to subscribers
    • writing accurate and engaging features on legal developments in areas covered by the Employment News service and making appropriate cross references to our market leading published employment Q&A material
    • publishing features and refreshing the newspaper-style FromCounsel Employment Homepage on a daily basis
    • identifying, reviewing and writing key point summaries of relevant judgments in close liaison with individual barristers and PSLs
    • co-ordinating with the PSL and barrister teams to ensure FromCounsel's content reflects new legal developments
    • overseeing production of monthly publications in collaboration with the PSL and editorial teams and inputting into other projects relevant to the News service as required
