Legal Writer

As our Legal Writer, you will be the strategic bridge between Good Law Project's litigation, our supporters, and the public. Leveraging a legal background and professional writing expertise, you will translate complex legal strategies and concepts into accessible "legal storytelling" that empowers diverse communities, drives Good Law Project's campaign mission and engages existing and new audiences. You will ensure that our public facing legal writing is not only technically robust but also deeply rooted in public understanding and engagement.

Your role is centered on writing accessible copy about our legal cases for GLP's public audience and other stakeholders to ensure they are kept well informed during the litigation process.

Ideally, you are a legally trained professional who has transitioned into expert communication for public understanding. You understand the mechanics of the UK legal system but believe its power is only realised when it is understood by the people it serves. You have the ability to write with authority, empathy, and clarity for a non-specialist audience.

You will be making the law a lived reality for communities across the UK, writing and helping to ensure that Good Law Project's copy is legally sound and responsive to community needs.

What we're looking for:

• Proven legal expertise with a deep understanding of legal principles gained through a degree or comprehensive professional experience
• Professional experience of writing legal copy for publication for members of the public
• Ability to write accurate copy at speed
