More about Academic Knowledge

ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE – CASE STUDY 3

I’ve been working as a writer with Academic Knowledge for nearly 6 years, and without a doubt the elements I enjoy most are the flexibility and the variety. I don’t have to be a “bum on a seat” from 9 – 5 every day and this gives me the freedom to do other things during the day if needs be. I’m also free to manage my workload as I see fit. To me this flexibility and autonomy is worth a great deal! Another factor which I really enjoy is that every day is different. I can work on a vast range of different briefs and projects, often working closely with clients to help them focus on a particular organisational problem, as well as more academic briefs. A benefit of this for me is that I’m up-to-date with the latest practical and academic thinking in several areas, and can offer clients a different perspective on their projects.

As every day is different a “day in the life” is by necessity an overview, and I think everyone finds their own preferred way of working. From me this normally involves writing in the morning, and reading and proofreading in the afternoon. I probably spend about twice as much time reading and proofreading as I do actually writing. During the course of the day I’ll periodically check messages and updates, particularly if I’m in the middle of a large project or waiting for a response from clients.

Part of the variety in each day comes from the fact that some clients can require work to be completed at extremely short notice, and so occasionally it’s necessary to drop what I’m doing and start work on something else. Whilst the pressure of this isn’t for everyone, finishing work to a tight deadline can be satisfying in itself. I also really enjoy helping clients to complete their work. Quite often they will have an idea of what they want to achieve, but they need some help to structure and formulate their ideas. Working collaboratively with clients gives me an insight into their organisations and cultures, and I’ve learnt a surprising amount about many different organisations, so writing is actually a two-way process.

Finally, the team at AK are great to work with and very helpful, so if you ever have a problem or a question then just get in touch with them, and they’ll be happy to help however they can.

ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE – CASE STUDY 2

Almost 10 years ago I saw an Academic Knowledge testimonial that prompted me to learn more about the Company, its people, projects, and clientele ….I have never looked back! And here’s why.

I am a lawyer by training and vocation. I take pride in doing my best in any situation. When I decided I needed freedom to pursue my writing, film and social commentary ambitions, the notion of having excellent part time assignments directly connected to my hard-won legal experience was very appealing. It was on this basis I began my Academic Knowledge work, one assignment at a time.

‘The best part time gig in the world’ is what I tell my friends about Academic Knowledge, and the evidence is compelling. I love engagement, taking on problems and sorting them out, perhaps with my own ideas and observations added to the mix. Being able to assist students to build out their fuller understanding of complex legal concepts and practical problems is very fulfilling. I feel that I am able to give something of myself and what I have learned in my own career in every Academic Knowledge assignment. For me, the work is at once challenging, stimulating, and enjoyable – I am working in my own wheelhouse. I consider myself well-paid, and as anyone that works for themselves will understand, I very much appreciate being notified by the remarkably efficient AK administrative gurus on the 15th of every month what I will receive by wire transfer on the 30th without fail! An excellent business situation, too.

But the nicest benefits flowing from my Academic Knowledge relationships are beyond money and intellectual stimulation. I control my schedule, and as with any legal project, how I choose to approach my assignments is left to my professional judgment – trust, and knowing your opinion is respected is a wonderfully powerful, positive thing for anyone who values what they do. Best of all? The AK team are as good as it gets. From the senior management outwards, the Company and its people are first-rate, friendly, committed, and passionate customer service providers who care about what they do every day.

Academic Knowledge expects top quality, original, and well researched work. They want your best effort – and the Company never fails to reciprocate. I look forward to many more excellent projects and great personal dealings in the years ahead.

ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE – CASE STUDY 1

My name is Nathan and I am a qualified solicitor, working in private practice for around a year and a half now. I work for a really great firm and as any new lawyer will tell you, this means that competition to work there is really stiff. The junior fee earners get paid a fair amount less than most of the secretaries because the HR department know they will get dozens of really strong applicants every time they advertise a job. I therefore work part time for Academic Knowledge as a freelance writer to supplement my income.

As my job at my firm is full time, I fit around five hours a week in at the weekend, usually Saturday morning to early afternoon. There is a little work to do in between – looking out for briefs that interest me and keeping an eye on emails from the company – but on the whole I can get this done within minutes and focus my efforts at the weekends.

The assignments that Academic Knowledge has offered me have been really beneficial for my job. My specialism is property but because I have a good law degree (LL.B) as well as a Masters in international law, I’m permitted to put myself forward for work in most areas of law. I’ve been able to research and write briefs in a whole range of areas, which has really broadened my knowledge and my competence. This has without doubt given me the edge at work; you see, a legal problem very rarely involves one area of law but most lawyers do specialise in a single area, and this means they are ignorant of potential issues or problems in other areas. Whilst the LPC does cover in brief some of those areas, the sort of research I am doing for Academic Knowledge is far more detailed and the resulting broader knowledge has really impressed the senior lawyers at my firm.

So the benefits for me of working for Academic Knowledge are the supplemental income that I could not do without, the flexibility (i.e. I can work round my existing job) and the increased knowledge gained from research. I hear that law is the biggest subject area Academic Knowledge deal in, and that’s very fortunate for me as there is always more than enough work available should I want it. I have recommended Academic Knowledge to some of my junior colleagues and will continue to do so in the future.
