Legal Technology Reporter

POLITICO is seeking an ambitious, enterprising reporter to cover the legal and corporate ecosystem around state attorneys general as part of a new POLITICO newsletter. State AGs’ biggest cases are often built and argued alongside outside counsel, and a growing roster of firms has built dedicated state AG practices to defend companies and help them manage AG risk. The policy portfolio will include health care, antitrust, AI and tech platforms, consumer protection, climate and energy, financial services, ESG and DEI, labor, and the limits of federal power — the enforcement fights where AGs are most active and where their actions carry the biggest consequences for companies and investors.The reporter will work closely with the State AGs team's other reporters, the product's senior editor, and POLITICO's legal, tech, energy and health teams on sourcing and coverage planning.What You'll Need:Reporting experience covering the law, the legal industry, corporate litigation, or regulation and enforcementAn understanding of how state AG enforcement, multistate litigation and settlements workA demonstrated ability to break news and deliver original, incisive reportingThe ability to build a network of sources among outside counsel, defense firms, in-house lawyers and former AG officialsAn entrepreneurial spirit and eagerness to help build an exciting new part of our journalismThe ability to juggle fast-moving breaking news and write clearly, accurately and efficiently on deadline for an influential, professional audienceA collaborative spirit and willingness to work with reporters and editors across POLITICO's state, legal and policy teamsA rigorous commitment to fair-minded, accurate and nonpartisan journalismWe’re open to candidates based in Arlington, VA (HQ); Since 2007, we have delivered intelligence that anticipates tomorrow's headlines, not reports on yesterday's news.
