About the Role
Reporting to the General Counsel, you'll provide core paralegal support across contracts, legal research, and company secretarial matters — while driving AI and legal tech adoption across the team. This role is built for someone genuinely fluent in AI and legal tech, not just comfortable using it: you'll be the one embedding these tools into everyday legal workflows so the team drafts, reviews, and manages documentation faster and more accurately. You'll work closely with the General Counsel, Senior Legal Counsel, and Risk & Compliance Manager.
What You'll Do
Champion AI-enabled legal tools across the team — identify, trial, and roll out solutions that speed up drafting, research, and review
Prepare and quality-check first drafts of engagement letters, NDAs, and standard contracts using AI tools, escalating anything non-standard
Build and maintain an AI-tagged contract and precedent library
Run AI-assisted legal and regulatory research, sense-checking outputs and summarising findings in plain language
Own adoption of legal tech platforms (CLM, e-signature, matter management, AI drafting tools) as the team's go-to for troubleshooting
Build lightweight automations and prompt templates to cut manual admin
Maintain statutory registers, company secretarial records, and board/governance documentation
Support client onboarding and audit/review documentation requests
What You Bring
Strong, demonstrable experience using AI and legal tech tools in a professional legal setting (AI drafting/review tools, legal research assistants, CLM or automation platforms) — this is a core, non-negotiable requirement, not an interest area
A proven track record of driving AI or legal tech adoption within a legal or compliance team
Confidence learning and rolling out new software fast, and comfortable training others on it
Paralegal qualification (e.g. CILEX) or law degree/LPC, or equivalent experience
3–5 years' paralegal experience, ideally in professional services or fast-growth tech
Sharp drafting, research, and attention-to-detail skills, with the judgement to catch when AI gets it wrong
Highly organised and comfortable in a flat, collaborative team
