The City Editor Information

In a competitive marketplace, your firm needs to look good on paper. We can help. The City Editor adds value by providing highly knowledgable, reliable and cost-effective US and UK English document reviews – backed by more than 25 years’ experience working with international corporate law firms and leading investment banks in London, New York, Paris and Frankfurt. Our services include reading for sense, consistency, style and clarity as well as spelling, punctuation and grammar; checking defined terms and cross-references; conforming UK/US spelling, punctuation, style and format; polishing second-language English; harmonizing text written by multinational and/or interdepartmental teams; converting traditional legal language into ‘plain English’; standardizing in-house forms of documents; and compiling or updating style guides. At a time of staff cutbacks, tightened budgets and capped-fee arrangements with clients, outsourcing non-legal work makes sense, because you can gain expertise for a fraction of your usual cost. The savings can be passed on to your clients, or used to generate additional revenues for your firm, depending on the pricing structure you choose. Specialties: We are proficient in all corporate law practice areas, and specialize in capital markets and international finance transactions for both issuer and underwriter clients. We work also with private clients to perfect their CVs/résumés and publications, and help tech start-ups look their best online.
