Effective Date

Position Summary
The Content Writer is the platform’s dedicated writer, producing and editing written content for all four Firms and, in due course, for Briefly itself. The role works across every Firm, with editorial direction and quality supervision the platform’s Senior Content Writer. That arrangement is deliberate: one experienced editorial eye sets the standard for writing across the platform, and the Content Writer extends that standard to every Firm. Day to day, the role works hand in hand with each Firm’s Marketing lead and Practice Development lead, who know their attorneys and practices, bring the Firm’s priorities and are the first port of call for what each Firm needs written.

The role works in two distinct modes. For Firm brand content, such as attorney bios, website copy, case studies, newsletters, social posts and awards submissions, the Content Writer writes the piece outright. For attorney thought leadership, such as blogs, articles and client alerts, the attorney is the author: the Content Writer helps plan, shape, edit and polish the piece, and gets it published quickly, but does not write it in the attorney’s name. Knowing which mode applies, and why, is central to doing this job well in a law firm setting.

This is a shared capability. The Content Writer serves each Firm in that Firm’s own name and to that Firm’s own brand and tone, works to a clear way of prioritizing between Firms, agreed with Firm Marketing and Practice Development leads, and uses shared templates, tools and processes wherever they make the work faster without making the Firms sound alike. The role is expected to be a confident, practiced user of AI tools, using them to work faster and smarter while remaining personally accountable for the accuracy and quality of every word published.
