Senior Specialist Legal Editor, Practical Law (Middle East) (Litigation).

Are you a lawyer looking for a career change? We are seeking an experienced litigation lawyer to join the Practical Law Middle East team based in the United Arab Emirates.

Practical Law is a leading online know-how service providing rigorous, peer-reviewed resources, such as practice notes, current awareness and standard documents to help legal professionals work smarter and advise with confidence. Practical Law is part of Thomson Reuters, one of the world's most trusted providers of answers across law, tax, compliance, government and media.

As part of our continued development of Practical Law and MENA market growth, we are planning to expand our Middle East content. We are therefore looking to recruit legal professionals with extensive litigation experience in the UAE. As part of the role, the Senior Specialist Legal Editors will help to define the jurisdiction's content strategy and be responsible for drafting high quality content, which meets our customers' needs.

About the Role
As a Senior Specialist Legal Editor you will use your knowledge of litigation law and practice in the MENA region to provide and maintain a wide range of Practical Law content. Working with a supportive team of highly experienced colleagues, you will deal with a breadth of interesting legal and editorial work including:

  • Creating well-written, up to date content for online publication that reflects current law and market practice and is of the quality and scope to meet business objectives and customer needs
  • Commissioning, reviewing and editing content written internally and externally
  • Maintaining all content for which you are responsible to ensure it is up-to-date and continues to be of the quality and scope that meets business objectives and customer needs
  • Developing relationships with third parties with a view to obtaining contributions of content or improving content through third party insights into law or practice


In addition to this, the Senior Specialist Legal Editor will:

  • Assist with developing and marketing Practical Law Middle East and Practical Law Global
  • Support marketing and sales and all other parts of the business to ensure delivery of business objectives, including engaging with customers.


About You
You're a fit for the role of Specialist Senior Legal Editor if your background includes:

  • At least five years' post qualification experience in litigation legal practice (at a law firm or in-house).
  • Substantial recent experience in litigation legal practice (at a law firm or in-house) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
  • A demonstrable interest and ability in writing with excellent attention to detail.
  • An in-depth understanding of litigation law.
  • Business level written English and Arabic (essential).
  • Additional post-qualification experience in litigation law in Saudi Arabia or another MENA jurisdiction would be an advantage, as would arbitration experience.


What's in it For You?
You will join our inclusive culture of world-class talent, where we are committed to your personal and professional growth through:

  • Hybrid Work Model: We've adopted a flexible hybrid working environment (2-3 days a week in the office depending on the role) for our office-based roles while delivering a seamless experience that is digitally and physically connected

  • Culture: Globally recognized and award-winning reputation for equality, diversity and inclusion, flexibility, work-life balance, and more.
  • Learning & Development: LinkedIn Learning access; internal Talent Marketplace with opportunities to work on projects cross-company; Ten Thousand Coffees Thomson Reuters café networking.
