• An interest in legal technology, innovation, or legal service design
• Excellent organisational and analytical skills
• Strong written and verbal communication abilities
• A collaborative approach, with the ability to work effectively across remote and multi-disciplinary teams

What the Role Offers:

• The chance to work on high-profile, innovative client matters
• Exposure to a range of legal disciplines and sectors
• Structured training in legal technology and solution design
• A supportive working environment that encourages professional growth
• Hybrid working, with an office base in central Edinburgh
