Job description

About Lawhive

We’re on a mission to make sure everyone has access to the law.
Lawhive is an online platform for consumers and small businesses to get legal help for a fraction of the cost of a law firm. Our platform combines regulated human lawyers collaborating alongside the world’s first AI lawyer, specifically built for consumer legal work.
Equal access to the law is one of the biggest and most pressing unsolved problems in society today. We’re passionate about leveling the playing field and believe access to the law should be a basic utility in society.
Our AI lawyer Lawrence is built on top of our own fine tuned LLM and recently passed the UK’s bar exam equivalent.
We’ve recently acquired Woodstock Legal Services, bringing their excellent people and processes into the Lawhive family. Together, we’re combining legal expertise with smart technology to make law more human, efficient, and accessible.

You’ll be at the heart of it all – keeping operations running smoothly, managing the details, and creating a seamless experience across every touchpoint.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a fast-growing, forward-thinking company that genuinely values its people and invests in their development. You’ll be part of a dynamic start-up environment where your work helps shape the future of the legal industry.

File Opening & Admin

Consultant & Team Support

• Build strong working relationships across the business
• Respond to queries by email, phone, or Teams
• Collaborate with teammates to manage priorities and meet deadlines

What We’re Looking For

• Experience working within an admin, operational or customer support role
• A genuine love of organisation, detail, and process
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills - you’re calm under pressure and confident in resolving issues quickly
• Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple requests at once
• Proactive - you take ownership, spot gaps, and act on them
