Junior Legal Researcher | London

We Are

Breaking The Law

LawAdvisor was founded in 2015 in Melbourne, Australia with a fearless and ambitious belief: that everybody should have access to justice .

We hypothesised that the high costs, inefficiencies, and difficulties of obtaining legal help could be overcome simply by providing greater access to legal information, and by providing everybody with real-time access to high-quality, affordable lawyers online.

Our mission has since been supported by thousands of lawyers and has allowed us to expand and set up offices across the globe. We\'ve also attracted high-profile investors and partners who have shared our mission to transform legal service delivery.

We\'re still not satisfied. The potential exists to completely revolutionise the practice of law. The start of this decade has delivered LawAdvisor with a new mandate: to overhaul and transform how lawyers work, and how people interact with and consume legal services, with state-of-the-art legal practice management technology in order to (i) increase efficiencies; (ii) automate routine processes; (iii) increase transparency; (iv) bring the legal practice to the 21st century.

We Need

A Trend Spotter

As an expert in our industry, target market, and current trends, the legal researcher will help shape, influence, and refine the further development of our products, and influence our marketing and go-to-market campaigns. You can work autonomously but also collaboratively with a team and our key stakeholders. You can navigate and filter the many requests that will be demanded of you and can make the tough judgment calls about where to devote your time and attention, based on business priorities. One day, you’ll be researching a key area of the law, and the next, you’ll be contributing to product direction and providing input about our GTM campaigns.

You’re never satisfied with a ‘good idea’: you will use all the resources at your disposal to ensure that these ideas not only materialise, but provide tangible benefits to our clients, our company, and in transforming the industry. To achieve this, you will work with the core management team and will be trusted to build strong working relationships with our product, marketing, and customer success teams. After all, you’re tasked with a key responsibility: to ensure LawAdvisor stands out in the world of legal tech and deliver on our promise to revolutionise legal services delivery.
