Business Reporter

The award-winning Daily Business Review in South Florida is looking
for an aggressive and enterprising business journalist to cover the
legal profession, law firms, lawyer regulation and influence in South
Florida. The reporter is expected to follow the financial and
business fortunes of law firms operating in the three-county region
of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. The successful candidate also
will chronicle the influence that firms and individual lawyers wield
in the public sector, as well as Florida Bar regulatory policies and
any disciplinary actions undertaken against individual lawyers. The
reporter is expected to write breaking stories about law firm
mergers, practice changes, personnel defections and expansions and
contractions. Throughout the year, the reporter would be the lead
writer for key DBR special reports, such as Review 15 and the
Managing Partners Survey. Ideally, if the reporter had been working
in this capacity in 2005, he or she would have been integrally
involved in the DBR’s coverage of the demise and acquisition of Steel
Hector & Davis, the impact on Greenberg Traurig of the arrest and
indictment of former lobbyist Jack Abramoff and the ongoing criminal
and regulatory actions against former Miami tort practitioner Louis
Robles. Qualified candidates should have at least two years of legal
and/or business reporting at a daily newspaper or Web publication.
