Job description

Amplir is building the next generation of AI-powered legal research — an intelligent platform trained on over 230,000 UK legal decisions, designed to democratize access to justice.

Traditional legal databases are costly, complex, and exclusionary. Amplir combines cutting-edge natural language processing with a modern user experience to deliver fast, affordable, and precise legal research for every practitioner — from solo lawyers to chambers and legal aid organisations.

We're currently in our early stage, with a complete whitepaper, live platform, and strong market positioning. We're now looking to expand the founding team with legal expertise.

• Legal Accuracy & Relevance - Ensure legal accuracy and relevance across jurisdictions and practice areas.

• Ethics & Governance - Advise on legal ethics, professional standards, and data governance.

• Partnership Development - Support partnerships with legal organisations, firms, and nonprofits.

• Thought Leadership - Act as a spokesperson or thought leader (optional but valued).

• Strategic Vision - Help establish credibility with investors, regulators, and legal users. Co-define long-term vision, priorities, and operational models.

Required Qualifications

• A qualified solicitor or barrister in the UK or Ireland.

• Strong understanding of legal research workflows and challenges.

• Passionate about access to justice, legal technology, and innovation.

• Comfortable in a startup or entrepreneurial environment.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

• Experience with platforms like LexisNexis, Westlaw, or Justis.

• Background in legal publishing, legal aid, or access to justice work.

• Interest or experience in AI, NLP, or legal informatics.

• Existing network within legal tech or professional communities.
