ALM’s global newsroom is seeking an editor-in-chief of its legal technology pillar, one of six core pillars of content covered by Law.com and its related publications.

Legal technology is increasingly at the intersection of each audience segment we cover at ALM, whether it be the ways law firms and legal departments are developing and deploying technology like generative AI, how courts are managing cybersecurity risks and technology opportunities, and how emerging technology is changing the culture, practice and business of law.

This role should aim to be a thought leader in new technologies, such as generative AI, and their real world applications, helping guide the industry on how to leverage technology in meaningful and safe ways.

The person in this role will develop a strong understanding of legal technology’s impact on the business of law, legal practice and legal education. They will develop a strong understanding of legal technology companies and alternative legal service providers as well as the technologists, legal operators and innovation specialists within law firms, legal departments, the judiciary and law schools.
