About this role

A Legal Editor role analysing legislation and legal developments, maintaining legal publication content, and reviewing and validating AI-generated legal content for accuracy and editorial standards. The original requisition (R117175) was retired by LexisNexis' Workday ATS, but the same role is live again under a new requisition (R117219) at a new URL, closing 30 October 2026, link updated and re-verified 14 September 2026. As at 25 September 2026, the direct link on LexisNexis's careers portal says the page does not exist, and no Durban Legal Analyst role appears on LexisNexis's current South African openings. Confirmed closed.
