Legal Engineer

Job Description

We’re working with a law firm that’s investing seriously in how legal work is designed, delivered and scaled.

They’re looking for a Legal Engineer to help turn legal processes into repeatable, technology-enabled solutions. Someone who understands how lawyers actually work, but can also design, automate and improve what sits underneath.

What you’ll be doing

• Breaking down legal processes and redesigning them for scale and efficiency
• Building and maintaining automated workflows using document automation, low-code tools and legal tech platforms
• Working closely with lawyers to translate legal requirements into practical solutions
• Supporting AI, data and automation initiatives across the firm
• Improving how legal services are delivered, not just how tools are configured

What they’re looking for

• Experience as a Legal Engineer, Legal Technologist, Automation Specialist or similar
• Strong understanding of legal workflows within a law firm or professional services environment
• Hands-on experience with document automation and workflow tools (specific platforms are less important than how you use them)
• Comfortable working with lawyers, questioning assumptions and proposing better ways of doing things
• Technically curious, commercially aware, and pragmatic

You don’t need to be a qualified lawyer. You do need to understand how legal work actually happens and how technology can genuinely improve it.

Why this role

• Clear mandate to modernise, not just maintain
• Senior buy-in and visible impact
• Growing area with long-term career progression
• A chance to shape how legal services are delivered, not just support them

If you’re working in legal tech, automation or process design and want a role with real influence, this is worth a conversation.
