About the role

Senior lawyer embedded in Alaro's legal team responsible for executing client legal work to top-firm standards and codifying workflows so agents can take over, with a strong automation focus.

Responsibilities

  • Execution of client legal work, end to end, at the standard of a top-tier firm - from day one, unsupervised
  • The steps plan: codifying every workflow you touch into a process precise enough for the agents to take over
  • Scoping and mapping new workflows from the historical documents clients send - what the work is, how it is judged, where the edge cases live
  • Quality monitoring of agent output on workflows you have codified. Your name stays on the standard
  • The feedback loop to engineering: what the agents get wrong, what the steps plan missed, what to build next

Qualifications

  • Trained and qualified at a top-tier firm - Paul Hastings, Kirkland & Ellis, Allen & Overy, a Magic Circle firm, or an elite US firm of the Skadden tier
  • Roughly 3-8 years' PQE, or junior-to-mid-level associate in US terms
  • Transactional background preferred over litigation
  • Able to pick up unfamiliar work and codify it quickly
  • Process-obsessed and automation-driven
  • Commercially pragmatic
  • Comfortable doing the work manually while you build the automation
