Job Description & Summary

Legal Engineer – AI-Enabled Legal Delivery  

(Senior Associate / Manager) 

 

We are recruiting a Legal Engineer to strengthen our transformation team and help design and deliver AI-enabled legal services. This role is embedded in engagement teams and firm initiatives, working with our lawyers and stakeholders to integrate AI into legal delivery in a way that improves quality, efficiency, and consistency, while meeting the standards of a leading law firm - confidentiality, security, professional judgment, and robust quality control. 

The role is suited to a Senior Associate / Manager-level profile combining structured problem-solving, hands-on implementation and strong stakeholder collaboration. 

Key responsibilities  

Design and implement AI-enabled delivery workflows for legal workstreams (e.g., contract review support, due diligence acceleration, document analysis and summarisation, clause/risk extraction, compliance and investigation triage, knowledge retrieval). 

• Build and maintain prompting standards and reusable prompt libraries, including playbooks tailored to specific legal use cases and practices. 

• Establish evaluation and quality frameworks for AI-assisted work (human-in-the-loop review, sampling and testing, accuracy/completeness criteria, escalation paths, traceability and documentation). 

• Identify and prioritise AI use cases with lawyers and business stakeholders; define the “to-be” workflows or solutions, data inputs, controls, and measurable success criteria. 

• Support the selection, configuration and adoption of AI and legal tech tools; coordinate with internal functions (IT, knowledge, PMO) and external providers where appropriate. 

• Contribute to the development of new AI-enabled client offerings, from initial concept and pilot to operationalised, repeatable delivery. 

• Promote responsible AI use aligned with confidentiality, data protection, security and applicable professional obligations; help embed governance into everyday delivery. 

 

Candidate profile 

We welcome candidates from different backgrounds. The successful candidate will combine strong AI/technology capability with a delivery-oriented mindset and the judgment expected in a leading law firm environment. 

Must-have 

• Agentic AI expertise: Strong hands-on capability in agentic AI (e.g., tool use, orchestration, multi-step workflows, guardrails) with the confidence to make sound technical design decisions (model/tool selection, architecture patterns, evaluation approach, and deployment trade-offs). 

 

• AI-enabled workflow delivery: Proven experience designing and deploying AI-supported workflows in regulated, high-stakes, or quality-critical environments, with clear attention to controls, traceability, and risk management. 

 

• Legal-technical translation: Ablility to translate legal and business objectives into end-to-end solutions - defining the workflow, data inputs, roles and controls, success measures, and operational handover. 

 

• Hands-on LLM delivery: Practical experience with LLMs in production or near-production settings, including prompt design and iteration, evaluation/testing methods, workflow integration, and managing limitations (hallucinations, confidentiality, bias, and reliability). 

 

• Collaboration and learning: Ability to quickly build legal domain understanding and work closely with lawyers to convert legal requirements into practical, usable delivery solutions. 

 

• Stakeholder management: Comfortable operating in a multi-stakeholder environment, driving progress through clear communication, prioritisation, and a pragmatic delivery mindset. 

 

Nice-to-have 

 

• Exposure to legal tech and automation/workflow tooling; low-code platforms; scripting; APIs; and basic data handling. 

 

• Experience in delivering client-facing service improvements and/or building scalable, repeatable operational offerings. 

 

• Experience in legal services, legal operations, compliance, investigations, or similar professional services environments. 

 

• Legal qualification or meaningful legal experience. 

What we offer 

• A role at the centre of how legal services are being reshaped by AI - focused on real delivery and adoption, not experimentation in isolation. 

 

• Exposure to sophisticated matters and cross-practice projects, with direct impact on client outcomes and firm capabilities. 

 

• The opportunity to build scalable assets and services that become part of our long-term operating model.
