What is a freelance legal copywriter?

A freelance legal copywriter is a professional writer who specializes in creating content related to the legal industry, such as law firm website copy, blog posts, articles, case studies, and marketing materials. Unlike in-house writers, freelance legal copywriters work independently and are hired on a project or contract basis by law firms, legal service providers, or legal tech companies. They combine expertise in legal concepts with strong writing skills to communicate complex information clearly and persuasively for target audiences. Their work helps legal organizations build credibility, attract clients, and improve their online presence.

How does a freelance legal copywriter typically collaborate with law firms or legal professionals?

Freelance legal copywriters often work closely with attorneys, marketing teams, and subject matter experts at law firms to create accurate and compelling content. Communication is usually conducted via email, video calls, or project management platforms, with regular check-ins to ensure content aligns with legal standards and branding guidelines. It is common for legal copywriters to receive detailed briefs and feedback, and to adapt content for websites, blogs, newsletters, or case studies. Building strong professional relationships and demonstrating reliability can lead to ongoing or repeat assignments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a freelance legal copywriter, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Freelance Legal Copywriter, you need strong legal research skills, excellent writing proficiency, and a solid understanding of legal terminology, often supported by a background in law or legal studies. Familiarity with content management systems (CMS), SEO tools, and citation formats like Bluebook is also important. Outstanding attention to detail, creativity, and the ability to communicate complex legal concepts clearly set top performers apart. These skills ensure your copy is accurate, persuasive, and accessible, helping law firms and clients build trust and authority online.

BluShark Digital

Washington, DC • On-site, Remote

$22/hr

Full-time

Posted 4 days ago

Job description

Are you looking to combine your legal knowledge and passion for writing but tired of looking for a new freelance position each week? This flexible and consistent fully remote position allows those with research prowess and a talent for crafting technical content to learn more about Search Engine Optimization.

BluShark prides itself on being an agency that puts its clients first. We are dedicated to developing innovative, practical, and successful SEO solutions for businesses, no matter their size or practice. Located in the heart of Washington, D.C., we work to help businesses stand out online and we bring more than just leads – we bring results.

In this position, you will have the ability to exercise your skills in research and writing while working from home and creating your own schedule. Producing clean, in-depth content in a timely fashion for law firms across the nation is our passion and priority.

While a JD is a plus, we also understand that people come from many walks of life, and we pride ourselves on using the unique abilities of strong writers for our clients. The most important things to bring to this position are a willingness to learn, wanting to see projects through to the finish line, and a Sherlock Holmes eye for detail.

We have identified the following characteristics as important to work for BluShark:

  • Detail-oriented and accurate
  • Reliable and hardworking
  • Willing and eager to learn
  • Positive attitude about feedback

In our hiring process, each resume will be reviewed by our recruiting team. Selected candidates will be asked to submit a writing sample. This is the chance to make a good impression and display your skills. The candidates with the strongest samples will be selected to participate in a phone interview so we can learn more about your experience and share our expectations for the role.

Our process takes a great deal of time for us and we ask you to dedicate yours as well. BluShark is devoted to recruiting a talented team of people that can grow in their positions and flourish within the company by displaying innovation, an emphasis on communication, and dedication to continual learning and professional development.

Our business is constantly growing and we are looking for someone to catalyze that growth. If you have a sincere passion for writing and providing clients with top-notch content, this is the right opportunity for you.

Page order volume is based on the quality of writing, timeliness in submitting assignments, and adherence to guidelines. Writers who consistently hit those marks are provided with assignments each week. Compensation per page begins at a standard rate of $22 per written webpage (550-700 words) for new content writers, although this number can be adjusted up to $32 per written webpage based on experience and performance in the role.

Submit a short writing sample (no more than 700 words) along with your resume. Acceptable writing samples include a short article, blog, or marketing material. Samples illustrating an understanding of SEO marketing is a plus. Applicants who do not submit a writing sample along with their resume will not be considered.

BluShark Digital is committed to a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Each individual has the right to work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal employment opportunities and prohibits unlawful discriminatory practices, including harassment.
