About Legal 500

Legal 500 is a global legal market research, data and intelligence business. Our research helps corporate clients make informed decisions about legal representation and gives law firms insight into their market position, performance, and clients.

Beyond research, we’re building a growing data, benchmarking, market-intelligence and subscription service offering. We bring the legal market together through a global programme of events - awards ceremonies, conferences and roundtables that convene leading law firms, in-house teams and their advisers. And through Legal Business, our journalistic title, we deliver independent news, analysis and commentary on the business of law and the strategy, performance and leadership of the world’s leading law firms.

We are a growing, multi-site organisation, with colleagues working across research, data, technology, product, journalism, commercial and events in London, Leeds and Bristol.

About the Role

We're looking for an ambitious and commercially aware Events Content Editor to join Legal 500's Events team.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys combining research, content creation, stakeholder engagement and event delivery within a highly respected global legal brand.

You'll play a key role in developing content for flagship events including GC Powerlist, GC Summit, forums, roundtables and awards, while building relationships with senior in-house lawyers, industry experts and event sponsors across international markets.

This role would suit someone from either:

An events or conference production background; or
A legal, research, editorial or professional services environment.

You do not need both, but you must be able to demonstrate strong research skills, organisation and confidence communicating with senior stakeholders.

What You'll Be Doing

Researching legal markets, key organisations, industry trends and senior stakeholders.
Creating and developing content for conferences, summits, publications and events.
Identifying and securing expert speakers and contributors.
Building relationships with senior in-house lawyers, sponsors and industry experts.
Managing event content from concept through to delivery.
Moderating panel discussions and helping to host live events.
Coordinating speaker communications, briefing calls and content preparation.
Supporting the development of awards, roundtables, forums and flagship global events.
Collaborating closely with Sales, Logistics, Delegate Acquisition and Media teams.

What We're Looking For

Essential

Experience conducting independent research and turning findings into valuable insights or content.
Strong organisational skills and experience managing projects, deadlines or multiple stakeholders.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Confidence engaging with senior professionals and external stakeholders.
Ability to prioritise competing demands and work autonomously.
Willingness to travel internationally on a regular basis.
Strong attention to detail and a proactive mindset.

Highly Desirable

Conference production, event content or event management experience.
Legal, research, editorial or professional services experience.
Experience moderating discussions, hosting events or speaking publicly.
Experience building agendas, researching speakers or developing event programmes.
Knowledge of the legal sector or professional services markets.

Location: London Fleet Street (Monday, Tuesday & Thursday office-based)
