Legal Copywriting FAQs
Why do you need a freelance legal copywriter?
While solicitors are great at securing results for clients, many find it difficult to drop the “legalese” when it comes to writing.
It’s understandable. The legal world is bursting with acronyms and technical language that helps legal professionals to communicate with each other. But most people just don’t understand it. That’s where a legal copywriter can help.
Creating easy to read content that appeals to new and existing clients, I use all my skills to enhance your firm’s brand. Furthermore, as a former in-house legal marketing manager, I have a wealth of legal experience. So, my copy is not only engaging, but it’s also professionally written and factually correct.
How much does a UK freelance legal copywriter cost?
Less than you might think. Despite my experience, my standard hourly rate is just £50ph. That’s less than the national average.
I also offer discounted rates to agencies, and clients who sign up for a retainer or support pack.
All costs are quoted upfront and agreed before we start. And there will be no nasty surprises. The price I quote is the price you’ll pay.
How do you pick the right freelance legal copywriter for your law firm?
You need someone who can write and who understands the immense challenges faced by the legal profession and their legal marketing teams.
In my experience, most law firms don’t operate like ordinary businesses, so you need a copywriter who knows how solicitors and partners tick. Someone who isn’t a stranger to the dynamics of the modern law firm.
You also need someone that can turn legalese into easy to read content that appeals to new and existing clients. And be confident that it is carefully researched, well-written, and factually correct.
It’s this unique understanding that makes professional legal copywriters so effective, adding value to your law firm by increasing your visibility and – ultimately – your revenue.
Over the years I have worked as a legal copywriter for a number of law firms and legal providers. Both as a freelancer and as part of a wider marketing agency.
Do you need a law degree to write legal copy?
No! While some legal copywriters are keen to promote their legal qualifications, I’d counter than my 20+ years in marketing and many satisfied legal clients, demonstrate the value that I can add to your law firm or legal business. Plus, in my experience, any copywriter qualified with a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) tends to charge more than I do, without any guarantee of a higher standard of work.
If anything, because I am not a lawyer, I know when legal language is unlikely to be understood by your clients, and I use my experience to turn complex, technical legal subjects into accessible copy.
And, having worked as a marketing manager within a law firm, I understand the immense challenges faced by the legal profession.
