  • Use Acrobat markup tools or traditional proofreading symbols to indicate necessary edits
  • Review documents for structure, tone, clarity, terminology, and defined terms
  • Confirm alignment with formatting protocols and maintain consistency throughout
  • 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
  • Ensure all final documents are client-ready, polished, and professionally presented

Qualifications and Skills:

  • Strong command of English with exceptional grammar, punctuation, and spelling
  • 2+ years of experience in proofreading, copy editing, or legal writing preferred
  • Familiarity with legal style guides (e.g., Bluebook) and formatting standards preferred
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and editing tools (e.g., Adobe Acrobat)
  • Comfortable working with complex or lengthy legal content
  • Ability to manage deadlines and prioritize effectively
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Degree in English, Journalism, Communications, or Law is a plus
  • Experience in proposal writing is a bonus
  • High degree of professionalism, discretion, and confidentiality

If you're passionate about accuracy, clarity, and excellence in legal documentation, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding opportunity.
