- • Legora is at the forefront of revolutionizing the legal industry, driven by a clear mission: to redefine how legal work is accomplished. We are not merely building a solution for lawyers; we are constructing it in direct collaboration with them, ensuring that our platform is built the right way, step-by-step, side-by-side with the professionals who will use it. Our AI-native workspace is meticulously designed to empower legal professionals, enabling them to not only accelerate their work but also to formulate more insightful questions and uncover novel perspectives. Every day, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of legal technology, transforming complex legal processes into smarter, faster, and more human-centric experiences. From analyzing thousands of documents in mere minutes to architecting intelligent workflows in partnership with leading legal practices, we are actively turning theoretical possibilities into tangible realities.
- • Today, our platform is trusted by prestigious global firms such as Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird, and Linklaters, with a presence in over 40 countries. However, our ambition does not stop here. We operate with a philosophy of rapid iteration, effective scaling, and continuous improvement – not by chance, but by deliberate design. When you join Legora, you become an integral part of a team that rejects mediocrity, believing that "good enough" is never sufficient. Our ethos is that the path to success is paved with collaboration, empowering lawyers to achieve their best work through technology that truly understands their needs and workflows. If you are energized by the prospect of building from first principles, collaborating with exceptional individuals, and accelerating transformative change within a high-stakes, high-impact domain, then this is precisely the moment and the place for you.
- • This Legal Engineer Associate role presents a unique and exceptional opportunity to operate at the dynamic intersection of law, cutting-edge technology, and product development. You will gain invaluable hands-on experience in understanding how advanced Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally reshaping the legal industry. Simultaneously, you will make direct contributions to the ongoing development, rigorous testing, and successful adoption of our groundbreaking platform. Your role will be pivotal in bridging the gap between legal expertise and technological innovation.
- • You will collaborate closely with our dedicated Legal Engineers, Customer Success Managers, and Product Development teams. Your responsibilities will encompass a range of critical activities designed to enhance client experience and platform efficacy. This includes providing essential support for client-facing pilot programs, streamlining onboarding processes, and delivering comprehensive training sessions. The primary objective here is to ensure that legal teams can maximize the value and utility they derive from the Legora platform. By facilitating smooth adoption and effective utilization, you will play a key role in client satisfaction and retention.
- • A significant aspect of your role will involve the design and meticulous evaluation of innovative use cases. These use cases will serve to powerfully showcase the capabilities of our AI on a variety of real-world legal tasks. This includes, but is not limited to, sophisticated contract review, in-depth legal research, precise legal drafting, and comprehensive due diligence processes. By demonstrating practical applications, you will help clients envision and implement new ways of working.
- • You will leverage your practical legal experience to critically assess the outputs generated by our AI. This involves ensuring that the AI's results are not only accurate and legally sound but also commercially relevant and highly usable within a professional legal context. Your legal acumen will be crucial in validating the quality and applicability of AI-generated insights, acting as a vital quality control layer.
- • Furthermore, you will be instrumental in capturing valuable insights directly from our users. This feedback is essential for understanding user experience, identifying pain points, and recognizing areas for improvement. You will then translate these qualitative and quantitative insights into clear, actionable, and well-defined feedback for our Product Development teams, directly influencing the future direction and enhancements of the platform.
- • Finally, you will contribute to the creation and maintenance of essential documentation. This includes documenting best practices for AI utilization in legal settings and developing comprehensive internal playbooks. These resources will guide how legal AI can be most effectively deployed and scaled across different firms and departments, establishing Legora as a thought leader in legal tech implementation.
