Are you a legally qualified professional looking for a change?

About our Team

LexisNexis Legal & Professional is a leading provider of legal data and information services. We specialise in delivering accurate, comprehensive, and timely legal content to professionals across various industries, including law firms, corporations, and government agencies. As a Legal Editor, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity and quality of our legal data products.

About the Role

As a dual language Legal Editor, you will be responsible for reviewing, editing, and enhancing legal content produced by our team of authors and contributors in Chinese and English. Your primary objective will be to ensure that all published content meets the highest standards of accuracy, clarity, and relevance. You will collaborate closely with our research team and content creators to uphold our commitment to delivering reliable and up-to-date legal information.

The role provides essential dual-language editorial capability to meet the anticipated increase in bilingual content for Hong Kong along with managing the pubs from Simran, who left us recently. Reshuffling or cross-training is not feasible due to the lack of Chinese-fluent editors within the team. Outsourcing or contract work has been ruled out as these options are short-term fixes and lack continuity.

Responsibilities

• Review and edit Chinese and English legal content for accuracy, consistency, and adherence to editorial guidelines.
• Ensure that all content is clear, concise, and accessible to our target audience.
• Conduct quality checks to identify and correct errors in legal data and information.

• Adhere to publishing schedules for all formats and implementing agreed plans for product enhancements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve content-related issues and improve workflows.
• Work closely with authors, contributors, as well as internal and external stakeholders to improve content quality and user experience.
• Identify and implement process improvements through operational enhancements, technology automation, and AI integration to achieve cost savings, reduce turnaround time (TAT), and enhance product quality.
• Actively contribute to content standardization and modernization initiatives.
• Communicate effectively with internal stakeholders regarding content revisions, updates, and project milestones.
• Assist Customer Operations with customer queries and issues.
• Stay updated on legal developments and industry trends to enhance the relevance and value of our content.
