We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
and how much do they pay for an article? is there a pay difference when a student writes v. a lawyer/professional writes?
Clarification: never worked there and I do occasionally run ads there. This is an outside perspective.
1. They offer remote work and very good pay compared to most litigators and small law firms. Fast salary growth.
2. Most people don't want to leave livelaw even for a substantial pay hike which probably says a lot about their culture
3. They hire a lot of people in small towns, so attract a lot of very talented people who don’t have big city options. We also do that and occasionally found livelaw making offers to the same talent, matching us or offering better
I didn’t expect this because I was of the opinion that they probably don’t make much money. But it appears they do pretty well.
any approx will be of great help!
any pay difference for students or professionals
any lead will be v helpful
please dont say without any backing
I need not take names as everyone’s aware that one of the ex employees of livelaw have made it really big in the industry and is at a top position in a top law firm at a very young age. Another young ex employee has become a household name with her current stint in a leading media organisation.
Hope this information helps.
