Advertising Opportunities
For 151 years Solicitors Journal has represented the truly independent voice for the legal profession.
Solicitors Journal covers a wide variety of topics including property, litigation, commercial, crime, private client, local government, finance and practice management. Articles are designed to be comprehensive yet easily digestible by the busy practitioner, and include boxes featuring relevant practice points and summaries.
Over three quarters of SJ subscribers are partners and assistants working in private practice. 85% of these are working at firms with 10 or less partners which means many of our readers are directly responsible for budget planning and purchasing decisions. The remaining subscribers are made up of solicitors and barristers working in local authorities, councils and courts and also those working within commerce and industry.
There are numerous advertising opportunities available both within the weekly magazine and the website to suit your marketing needs. In addition to high profile positions within the magazine, there are also feature-specific positions and additional supplements that cover a wide range of topics. Please refer to the Features List for full details.
