Lawyer - Legal AI Advisory

About LawConnect

When people face a legal problem, most don’t know where to start. LawConnect exists to change that - helping everyone understand their situation, build confidence, and find the right legal help when it matters most.

We’re redefining how consumers get legal help by combining AI with our leading lawyer marketplace. Backed by one of the largest legal software companies globally, we bring the stability and resources of an established business with the speed and ambition of a well-funded startup.

This is an environment built around innovation, experimentation, and moving quickly. Small team, real momentum, and a global ambition. You’ll work alongside talented people who care deeply about making legal help accessible to everyone.

What you’ll do

You'll be the lawyer inside LawConnect – but not in any way you've practised law before. You'll review our product to make sure what we put in front of consumers is legally sound, build the legal IP that powers our AI, and help us deepen the relationships we need to change how Australians access legal help. Day-to-day, that means partnering with law firms and the wider legal ecosystem to drive adoption, collaborating with our product teams and developers, and being the lawyer who bridges our commercial team with the partners and clients we serve.

Reporting to the Head of Consumer AI, you'll make sure what we build holds up legally – and lands credibly with the lawyers, regulators, and government bodies whose support we need.

To make this happen you will:

• Build and nurture relationships across the legal ecosystem – government, legal aid commissions, community legal centres, professional bodies, and law firms in the marketplace
• Help shape the partnerships strategy, turning early interest from partners into formal commercial agreements 
• Review LawConnect’s products, content, and user-facing copy so everything we put in front of consumers is legally sound, accurate, and useful
• Build the legal IP behind our AI – writing the “skills” that tell the AI what to look for in matters like separations (coercive control, financial abuse), employment claims, and other consumer legal scenarios
• Test the product end-to-end as a lawyer would – spotting where the AI gets it right, gets it wrong, and where it could go further
• Partner with the existing ATI legal team on broader regulatory and compliance work; own what’s specific to LawConnect
