  • Collaborate with attorneys and editors to enhance document clarity and legal accuracy
  • Conduct light research as needed to support fact-checking and content validation
  • Provide clear, actionable feedback to improve writing quality

  • Ability to manage deadlines and prioritize effectively
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Degree in English, Journalism, Communications, or Law is a plus
