About this role
Law.com is seeking a reporter to cover the business of elite global law firms—their leadership changes, finances, talent movements, mergers, and market strategies. This role combines traditional beat reporting with data-driven journalism, requiring someone who can break exclusives, build sources among sophisticated industry insiders, and spot meaningful trends in a competitive landscape. You'll spend significant time analyzing datasets on firm performance, revenue, and headcount, then translating those findings into clear, visually engaging stories using tools like Tableau or Flourish.
The ideal candidate has several years of reporting experience, ideally in legal, financial, or professional services sectors, with a proven ability to land scoops and cultivate high-level sources. You'll need strong analytical skills and comfort working with spreadsheets and data visualization platforms, but equally important is the ability to write clearly about complex operational and financial information. This is a hybrid role based in London within a 14-country newsroom of energetic reporters and editors who produce off-diary journalism at pace.
