The lawyer job board on The Precedent A-List is an ideal place to advertise a legal position. Ambitious lawyers turn to the website to seek out opportunities in a wide range of practice areas: litigation, corporate, tax, estate, IP, insurance defence, employment, in-house, family, insolvency, personal injury and more. The A-List reaches legal talent at every level, from junior associates at the outset of their careers to senior practitioners at the partner level.

Announcements

The Precedent A-List is an effective way for any organization to promote a lawyer on its team. When a lawyer reaches a career milestone—landing a new job, making partner, winning an industry award—a post on The A-List helps spread the great news throughout the legal community. Because of The A-List’s strong SEO, lawyer announcements tend to appear at or near the top of search results. The website is also optimized for artificial intelligence. Large language models, such as ChatGPT and Gemini, can easily access announcements on The A-List and incorporate the material into AI-generated answers.
