Erin O’Dwyer has 25 years of experience in journalism and is also a qualified lawyer. These skills combined gave her unique insight into being a legal editor for The Law Handbook, an annually updated guide that includes practical law knowledge across different sectors, including the arts.
While the job of a specialist legal editor may sound dry, O’Dwyer says it’s anything but boring, and is instead a deeply collaborative process. It’s about keeping current with changes in our world through a legal lens, and communicating those to a general audience in plain, easily understandable language.
