Legal Engineer

I'm proud to be working with an award-winning law firm that is investing heavily in technology, AI and innovation across its legal operations. They're looking for a technically minded Legal Engineer/Innovation Specialist to join their innovation function and help turn emerging technology into practical solutions.

This is a hands-on role sitting between legal, technology and product delivery. You'll work with legal teams and technical stakeholders to understand complex problems, design solutions and build, configure and test new tools that improve how legal work is delivered.

Responsibilities:

• Work with lawyers and business teams to understand problems, map processes and identify opportunities for automation
• Build, configure and prototype solutions using legal technology, AI, workflow and low-code platforms to address legal and operational challenges
• Take solutions through proof-of-concept, testing and refinement before supporting wider implementation
• Explore how emerging AI capabilities can be applied to real-world legal use cases
• Translate business and legal requirements into technical solutions and working prototypes
• Work closely with internal technology teams and external technology providers where integrations or specialist platforms are involved
• Act as a technical point of contact, helping non-technical stakeholders understand the opportunities and limitations of new technology

Requirements:

• Experience working in legal technology, legal engineering, legal innovation, or a similar environment
• Practical experience designing, building, configuring, prototyping or testing technology solutions
• A strong understanding of AI and how it can be applied to automate or improve legal workflows
• Experience with technologies such as Copilot, Power Platform, Claude Code, legal AI platforms (Harvey, Legora etc.) or similar AI/automation tools
• The confidence to work directly with lawyers and clients while maintaining a technical focus
• A genuine interest in emerging legal technologies and a willingness to experiment, prototype and iterate
• This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation where you'll have genuine scope to shape how AI, automation and legal technology are used in practice

This is an excellent opportunity to drive the adoption of the latest legal tech and tools at a renowned law firm.

Please note, visa sponsorship is not available for this position and the above requirements are essential. Applications will be unsuccessful if they don’t meet these, or aren’t within commuting distance of Bristol. I’d love to speak with everyone, but due to the high volume of applications we’re receiving, I can’t guarantee everyone a response.
