This is a unique opportunity to shape and deliver AI-enabled legal services, working alongside Partners and fee-earning teams on live matters while helping to design new AI-powered products and tools.
This role is available on a permanent or fixed-term basis and can be based in any of our UK offices, with a hybrid working model. You will receive structured training and ongoing development in AI, legal technology, and client service innovation. Previous experience in legal technology is not required—though a strong interest in this space is essential.
Key responsibilities:
- Work with fee earners on live Projects & Infrastructure matters to design, test, and refine AI-enabled ways of delivering legal services.
- Turn stakeholder requests into scoped, risk-aware, and commercially grounded plans with clear deliverables and timelines.
- Identify and shape new AI-enabled products and services based on live matter experience, client feedback, and market insight.
- Act as a credible client-facing voice on AI, explaining delivery models, pricing, risk management, and governance in a clear and practical way.
- Champion the adoption of generative AI tools and new workflows, ensuring alignment with our AI governance framework.
- Track AI and legal technology developments and translate them into practical improvements to services and processes.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary team of ex-lawyers and technologists, embedded within the Projects & Infrastructure practice group. You will work closely with Partners, fee-earning teams, our knowledge team, and clients, with strategic direction and support from our service innovation team.
We are looking for someone who is:
- A qualified lawyer with strong knowledge of Projects & Infrastructure law and credibility to engage confidently with Partners and clients.
- Genuinely interested in AI and technology, with curiosity to build expertise and a good instinct for where AI does and does not add value.
- Able to break down complex or vague client asks into clear, structured, and deliverable plans, using AI responsibly.
- A strong communicator and influencer, able to build trust and manage expectations proactively.
- Commercially astute, focused on solutions that deliver real impact rather than using AI for its own sake.
- Collaborative, detail-oriented, and rigorous in testing and quality assuring AI outputs.
We welcome applications from those already in similar roles, as well as lawyers looking to pivot into this space. If you require any adjustments during the application or interview process, please let us know in confidence.
