The Recorder is looking for a business reporter to cover the legal departments at the Bay Area’s hottest tech companies. We are a daily online and weekly print publication focused on the legal industry in S.F. and Silicon Valley. You’d be covering the lawyers and legal issues at giant public companies like Google, Apple and Facebook as well as at startups and pre-IPO companies like Uber and Square. We’d look to you for stories about how these companies are organizing to beat back regulatory threats, amass patent portfolios, avoid antitrust scrutiny and defeat litigation–and how they select and manage the inside and outside lawyers they turn to for those tasks.
Candidates should have at least two years of experience in a daily news environment. You need to be able to break news while working up smart business features. Experience with technology industry or legal coverage is a plus, as is experience using social media to expand sources and readership. But most important is your ability to source a beat.
The Recorder is owned by ALM, publishers of the American Lawyer magazine and many other national and regional business publications.
Qualified candidates please email to vblum@alm.com a cover letter detailing your interest and aptitude for business reporting; a resume; and three clips that best display your ability to break news, write engaging features, and turn smart analysis. Also include links to your Twitter or LinkedIn feeds and any video or other multimedia samples. Only candidates selected for interviews will be contacted. No phone calls or agencies please.
