Job Description

About the role

We are looking for an experienced competition lawyer who has a keen interest in writing and content creation, and an excellent understanding of the processes in a practitioner’s workflow.

The primary purpose of this role is to develop and maintain high quality up-to-date practical legal content on competition law for LexisNexis’ popular Practical Guidance product, which is Australia’s most established and trusted digital ‘how-to guide’ of legal practice.

This role is a full-time permanent one but might also suit someone interested in 4 or 4.5 days per week. Some regular in-office time is preferable, but there is also the opportunity to work flexibly and from home. It could also suit interstate applicants.

Key responsibilities:

  • Develop new competition law content such as guidance notes and checklists as well as user-friendly, high value tools such as case trackers and competition law compliance and training materials

  • Update and enhance existing content in the competition law module

  • Keep subscribers up to date on developments in competition law in Australia through current awareness initiatives

  • Support our sales, marketing and engagement teams by promoting content in the module through articles, webinars, masterclasses and/or podcasts (as appropriate)

  • Work with other legal writers across the Practical Guidance team including the Consumer, M&A, Corporations and Business modules

  • Autonomy to drive content plans and priorities for the digital delivery of competition law content to private practice and in-house lawyers, barristers, government and regulatory bodies, academics and students

    • To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • 5+ years PQE with keen interest in writing, content creation and legal research

  • Experience in an Australian mid to top tier law firm or in-house counsel role or equivalent

  • A strong practice background in competition law

  • Excellent communication and plain-English writing skills with high level of accuracy and attention to detail

  • Aptitude for building and fostering relationships with a range of diverse clients and local and international stakeholders

  • Excellent analytical, problem solving and organisational skills.

    • What’s in this role for you?

  • An excellent opportunity to work with one of the major providers of legal research and technology solutions

  • Share in our global mission and contribute every day to advance of the Rule of Law

  • Exciting and engaging long-term career path as an alternative to legal practice that remains engaged with the legal industry, building on previous legal experience

  • A supportive, collaborative and passionate team to work with and a corporate culture that invests in its people and prioritises wellbeing

  • Flexible working conditions that promote a healthy work/life balance

  • Training and upskilling provided for editorial and technical skills

  • Exciting career and personal development opportunities

  • Get extra 2 days of volunteering leaves each year
