  • Work with other legal writers across the Practical Guidance team
  • Autonomy to drive content plans and priorities for the digital delivery of workplace and WHS law content to private practice and in-house lawyers, barristers, government and regulatory bodies, and academics

Requirements:

  • 3+ years PQE with a 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 Employment and WHS law
