Researcher
Legalease is the publisher of The Legal 500 Series, the market-leading directory with a long and established track record for analysing, ranking and providing detailed editorial on the world's leading business law firms and barristers’ chambers. The Legal 500 prides itself on the quality and depth of its research, as well as on the integrity of its research team.
We are expanding our product offering and have vacancies for bright, hardworking and tenacious researchers to work across The Legal 500 series.
Applicants must have an excellent command of spoken and written English and must be able to manage time effectively and work to deadlines. Knowledge of the legal sector is preferable but not essential. Much of the law covered by The Legal 500 guides around the world is commercial so an interest in business and the City would be helpful. For an insight into the content of our products, please see www.legal500.com.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone wishing to develop their research and writing skills in a challenging and vibrant environment. You will be part of a successful, ambitious and growing organisation, where hard work will be rewarded with career progression.
