Litigation Specialist | Legal AI & Technology | Non-Fee Earning | London

1-4 PQE (Some Flexibility)

Package: c.£160,000 - £190,000

We are working with an ambitious, investor-backed legal AI business looking to appoint a Litigation Specialist to join its growing London team.

This is an opportunity for a high-calibre disputes lawyer to step away from traditional private practice and move into the legal technology sector, working at the forefront of AI innovation.

The business is developing an AI-powered case intelligence platform used by leading law firms to support complex litigation and arbitration matters. Drawing on your experience as a fee-earning lawyer, you will work directly with clients, product specialists and engineers to help shape the platform and support its adoption.

The role is based in London and requires four days per week in the office.

The role

• Work with leading law firms to onboard clients, deliver training and implement the platform across live litigation matters.
• Engage with partners, associates and innovation teams, understanding their requirements and helping them get the most from the technology.
• Use your practical litigation experience to identify opportunities to improve workflows and enhance the platform.
• Work closely with product and engineering teams, translating legal requirements and client feedback into product developments.
• Support client demonstrations, pilot programmes and wider adoption of the platform across the legal market.

The ideal candidate

• Currently practising as a fee-earning litigation solicitor with 1-4 PQE.
• Trained and qualified at a Magic Circle firm, leading US law firm or recognised top-tier disputes boutique. This is an essential requirement.
• Strong grounding in complex commercial litigation, ideally with exposure to substantial document-heavy disputes, international litigation or arbitration.
• Interested in legal AI, emerging technology and how innovation is changing the legal profession.
• Commercially minded, confident communicating with senior lawyers and comfortable engaging with clients.
• Open to moving away from traditional fee-earning and taking on a different type of role within the legal sector.

For a talented disputes lawyer who enjoys the intellectual side of litigation but is curious about what else they could do with their legal experience, this is an opportunity to make a significant career change while remaining closely connected to the legal profession.
