The role spans legal writing and editorial, a weekly regulatory newsletter for clients across India’s financial services sector, thought leadership publications, social media, an internal knowledge repository, training coordination, and firm events.
You will travel. You will present. You will be in rooms that matter and responsible for what comes out of them in writing.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Edit, write, and publish the firm’s weekly regulatory newsletter for clients, covering RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, MCA, and fintech developments with commercial framing — not just statutory summary.
- Draft and edit articles, thought leadership pieces, and regulatory commentary for publication under the firm’s name and the partners’ bylines, including flagship publications such as the AKP RBI Regulatory Penalty Report.
- Manage the firm’s social media handles (LinkedIn primarily) — plan content calendars, draft posts, design graphics using Canva or equivalent tools, and monitor engagement.
- Build and maintain the firm’s internal knowledge repository: precedent documents, regulatory matrices, practice guides, and training materials, organised for ease of access by the practice team.
- Track relevant Supreme Court and High Court orders, regulatory circulars, and legislative developments across the firm’s practice areas and circulate timely internal briefings.
- Coordinate and support internal training sessions and onboarding programmes for new team members — preparing materials, scheduling, and facilitating sessions where required.
- Manage website content and updates (WordPress or equivalent); ensure practice pages, team profiles, and thought-leadership archives are current and accurate.
- Coordinate event logistics and communications for firm-hosted events, client briefings, webinars, and participation in external conferences.
- Work directly with the founding partners on law firm management tasks — you are a member of the Founders’ Office, not a standalone department.
Eligibility Criteria
- Graduate degree required; LL.B. or postgraduate degree in law, mass communication, journalism, or a related field is preferred.
- Minimum 1–2 years of demonstrable experience in legal writing, content editing, or editorial work — at a law firm, legal publisher, policy think tank, chamber of commerce, or newspaper.
- Prior verifiable experience managing social media accounts professionally — including content planning, graphic design (Canva or equivalent), and platform analytics.
- Ability to understand commercial and regulatory legal developments and reframe them for a business audience, without sacrificing accuracy.
- Strong project management instincts — able to manage multiple content pipelines
simultaneously, meet publication deadlines, and coordinate across the practice team.
- Event management or training coordination experience is an advantage.
- Excellent written English; able to match and maintain a consistent firm voice across different formats and audiences.
