Are you the AI person on your team?

  • Colleagues ask you how to prompt the firm's AI tool.
  • You've built a template, workflow or playbook nobody asked you to build.
  • You've sat in a vendor demo and spotted what the product gets wrong.
  • You'd rather fix the process than bill the hours.
  • You've thought "I could build this better" this month.

Three or more? You're a legal engineer. The title just hasn't caught up.

What the job actually is

Turn legal work into AI workflows

You map how a deal or a dispute really runs, then build workflows an AI product can follow.

Test it like a sceptical partner

Your legal judgement decides whether the output is good enough. You use it every day.

Work with product, not timesheets

Your output is product, not hours. You sit between lawyers and the people building the tools.
