Job description

Nyayadhi is building precision-driven AI tools that make legal research faster, smarter, and more reliable for Indian lawyers, in-house teams, and legal operations professionals.

Nyayadhi is designed for the realities of Indian law complex statutes, evolving precedents, and high-stakes outcomes where accuracy and trust truly matter. Nyayadhi offers an environment where legal and technology professionals collaborate to shape the future of legal research.

Role Description

We're looking for an experienced in law, commercially sharp, curious lawyer to join our core team. You'll be the bridge between legal expertise and product thinking, ensuring our AI tools are legally sound, compliant, and genuinely useful for practicing lawyers.

This isn't a traditional in-house counsel role. You'll work closely with product, engineering, data science, and go-to-market teams to shape how AI understands legal language, cites authority, and supports real-world legal workflows. Your legal expertise is the substance of this role, and we're looking for a practising specialist rather than a generalist.

What You'll Do

• Review the quality of legal work/information, assessing whether AI outputs are accurate, well-reasoned, and usable by practising lawyers.
• Write instruction specs and golden solutions that define what "correct" looks like for legal tasks in your area of specialisation.
• Build benchmarks that show whether the products are genuinely improving over time.
• Advise product and engineering teams on legal accuracy, risk, and compliance of AI-generated research outputs.
• Work closely with the Founder/CEO to help define guardrails for AI behaviour in legal contexts: citation standards, hallucination mitigation, confidentiality, and data usage.
• Review and validate training data sources, licensing terms, and permissible use of case law, statutes, and other reaserch materials.
• Partner with sales and customer success to address legal queries from enterprise clients (law firms, GCs, compliance teams).

Contribute to product documentation, terms of service, privacy policies, and trust centre content.

Must-Have

• LLB from a recognised Indian university, enrolled with the Bar Council of India.
• 5+ years of substantive post-qualification legal practice in India at a reputable institution, such as an established law firm, a corporate legal department, a regulatory body, or a court. Internships and clerkships alone do not count.
• Genuine specialisation in at least one substantive practice area, for example corporate and transactional, litigation and dispute resolution, regulatory and compliance, intellectual property, employment and labour, or tax.
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Excellent written communication, including the ability to give precise, well-structured written feedback.
