  • Analyze model performance, reasoning quality, and failure modes across legal use cases.
  • Publish internal research findings, best practices, and evaluation methodologies.
  • Stay current with developments in legal technology, jurisprudence, regulatory environments, and AI research.
  • Help establish industry-leading standards for legal AI evaluation and benchmarking.


What We're Looking For

  • Advanced degree in Law (JD, LLM, SJD, PhD in Law, or equivalent).
  • Deep expertise in one or more legal domains, including corporate law, contracts, litigation, regulatory compliance, intellectual property, employment law, or public policy.
  • Demonstrated experience conducting legal research, analysis, or policy work.
  • Experience developing structured methodologies for assessing legal arguments, legal outcomes, or research quality.
  • Exceptional analytical reasoning and written communication skills.
  • Experience working across interdisciplinary teams involving research, technology, or legal operations.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with legal technology, legal operations, or AI-enabled legal workflows.
  • Background in legal benchmarking, legal research methodology, or legal knowledge management.
