Legal Cheek

Legal Cheek is a popular British legal news website that is styled by some as a "tabloid".[1] It also has a careers section featuring research about law firms and barrister chambers[2] and a large following on social media.[3] Founded by former Guardian journalist Alex Aldridge[4] in 2011, Legal Cheek initially operated out of Aldridge's apartment in London.[5] Aldridge has a background in law after training as a barrister.[6]

In 2012 Legal Cheek was forced to issue an apology for using an incorrect photo in an article about a dispute between two barristers.[7] In an interview after this had taken place, Aldridge admitted there had been a "lawsuit" and pledged to think harder about "accountability".[8]

In 2014 Legal Cheek conducted the first ever interview[9] with Judge Rinder, the barrister who would go on to find fame on Strictly Come Dancing.

Legal Cheek is often cited in the UK media, including the BBC,[10] the Daily Mail [11] and The Independent [12] and The Telegraph [13]

As of 2016 Legal Cheek has two staff writers, Tom Connelly[14] and Katie King,[15] and various columnists including Joshua Rozenberg, the former BBC legal correspondent,[16] and Will Buckley, the former Observer journalist.[17]
