• Experience as a law librarian, legal research analyst or similar role in a law firm, law school, court or legal publisher.
• Expert command of US legal research methods and tools.
• A proven interest in AI and how it can be used to improve the legal system; hands-on experience with legal AI tools is a bonus.

• Meticulous attention to detail and a high standard for accuracy.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to articulate complex concepts clearly and effectively.
• Highly motivated, proactive, and able to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

• Conduct in-depth legal research, statutory checks and case law analysis to support our attorneys across practice areas.
• Structure and maintain our internal document archive, including precedents, templates and practice guides.
• Build and manage our legal taxonomy so knowledge is easy to find and consistently organised.
• Manage access to legal research databases (e.g. Westlaw, Lexis, Bloomberg Law) and support attorneys in using them effectively.
• Share knowledge across the group’s firms through research memos, current-awareness updates and training.
• Review legal content, drafts and responses produced by our AI agent, Lawrence, for accuracy and legitimacy.
• Fact-check legal citations, statutes and references generated by the platform, flagging errors and outdated authority.
