Bloomberg News is one of the biggest financial and business news organizations in the world. We lead the way in breaking news and providing analysis on financial markets, from daily coverage through to in-depth features. We are known for our quality, accuracy and ability to deliver news investors can use. It’s what keeps us inventing and re-inventing, all the time.

Bloomberg News is looking for a court reporter in London to cover the biggest civil disputes, white-collar crime and financial scandals, particularly at the intersection of finance and private credit. The beat offers a unique chance to take on a high-profile role in a leading news organization.

We're looking for a tenacious reporter who's willing to grapple with the English court system, stand up for open justice and arrive with a vision for the beat that identifies the biggest lawsuits and how to push beyond the obvious angles.

You should have a proven track record of developing a diverse network of sources, breaking high-impact news and writing longer-form enterprise pieces.

The need to leverage Bloomberg's global newsroom by collaborating across teams and time zones is a vital aspect of the role, as is the ability to work across various platforms -- including video, audio and social media -- to ensure your reporting gets multiplied across our many formats.

We'll trust you to:

  • Produce quick-fire stories as well as long-term enterprise that inform our readers
  • Explore and execute original ways to tell our biggest stories
  • Take the initiative and drive our coverage of courts
  • Work across the Bloomberg newsroom to elevate our coverage

You'll need to have:

  • Minimum of three years' reporting experience
  • A proven ability to build a diverse network of sources
  • Sound news judgement and a talent for looking beyond the obvious story
  • A willingness to work well within a team and with others across the newsroom

We'd love to see:

  • Experience of court reporting isn't a must, but a passion to learn on the job is.

Life at Bloomberg is many things, but it’s never dull. We’re a truly global business with a truly diverse workforce. We pride ourselves on being open, inclusive and collaborative, and provide a work environment that inspires our employees to be their best. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and programs to support you and your family through different life stages, from parental leave to generous retirement savings plans.
