The importance of legal editing

Legal editing requires the expert knowledge, laser precision and obsessive attention to detail that only rigorously trained specialists like ours can provide.

Unsure which legal editing service you need?
Law-related documents can be straightforward or complex, but most are somewhere in between, and it can be difficult to tell which level of legal editing and proofreading you need. We have created a quick quiz to help you decide. For example, you may need Platinum (Heavy) Copyediting or Substantive Editing if:
- You’re not sure what you need
- English as a second language
- You’re a student

The example demonstrates the difference between our three editing services: Premium Copyediting, Platinum (Heavy) Copyediting and Substantive Editing. Use the slider and buttons to see a practical example of the changes and corrections we would make to a document under each service.

Contemporary feminist political economy and feminism as a sphere of analysis emerged through the women’s movement in the 1970’s. Feminist political economy is concerned with bringing women’s economic role and contributions to the fore. This was necessary as the two dominant theories—neoclassical economics and Marxian political economy—were seen as unable to provide a framework to consider how gender relates to the economy (Tong, 2009: 116). This short paper will outline why neoclassical economics continues to be incompatible with feminist political economy analyses. It will be argued that feminist political economy is not incompatible with Marxian political economy.
