• Speed is a feature - We’re building and releasing features fast, going from idea to production in hours rather than weeks.
• Empathise with users - Lawyers and legal clients have unique perspectives, preferences and expectations. We build products which understand them deeply.
• Strive for excellence - We’re ambitious and moving fast. The whole business is pushing to be a category defining legal tech company.
• Constantly learning and experimenting - We’re at the cutting edge of using AI to directly improve people’s lives. We take a blue-sky but pragmatic approach to how we apply new technologies.
