About the role
- Translate commercial real estate legal work into structured, repeatable workflows that can be understood by AI systems.
- Break down complex legal tasks (e.g. due diligence, lease analysis, title review) into discrete steps, rules, and decision logic.
- Collaborate with engineers and product teams to design, test, and refine AI-driven legal features.
- Review and improve AI outputs to ensure legal accuracy, clarity, and usefulness for practising lawyers.
- Help define best-in-class legal standards for AI-assisted real estate work.
- Stay close to how lawyers actually work, ensuring products are grounded in real-world practice rather than theory.
Requirements
- You’re a Scottish-qualified solicitor (England & Wales and/or Scotland) with experience in commercial real estate, including areas such as acquisitions, disposals, leasing, development, or real estate finance.
- Ideally, you have 5+ years PQE, but we’re very open to strong candidates with less experience who show the right mindset.
- You can deconstruct legal work into clear, logical steps that could be followed by a machine or automated process.
- You’re highly tech-literate, curious, and comfortable learning new tools quickly.
- You’re genuinely interested in AI, large language models, and LegalTech, and how they can be applied to improve legal practice.
- You may not have done a role like this before (almost no one has!) — but you’re analytical, adaptable, and excited by building something new.
Benefits
- Competitive starting salary
- Matched pension contributions
- Flexible working hours and location
- 25 days paid holiday (plus bank holidays)
- Professional equipment and personal development budget along with training opportunities to learn and develop your skills
- Cycle-to-work scheme
- An inclusive community enjoying all-company off-sites, lunches and socials
