• Compliance & Ethics: Assist in ensuring that the use of AI tools complies with relevant legal and ethical guidelines, including data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR) and professional conduct rules.
• Market Intelligence: Stay abreast of the latest developments in legal technology, AI, and the broader legal tech ecosystem, sharing insights with the team and firm.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with IT, Operations, Finance, Marketing, and external technology vendors to facilitate seamless integration and support of tech solutions.

• Analytical Skills: Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking abilities, with a capacity to understand complex technical concepts and translate them into practical legal applications.
• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences and articulate legal requirements to technical teams.
• Collaboration: A strong team player with the ability to build relationships and work effectively with diverse stakeholders across all levels of the firm.
• Proactive & Adaptable: Capable of managing multiple tasks in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
• Attention to Detail: Meticulous attention to detail, particularly in data handling and documentation.
