About this job
The Opportunity
The legal industry is broken — lawyers bill by the hour, charge enormous sums, and take forever to respond. This means that a lot of people who need legal advice don't get it. We're using AI to solve this problem. AI takes the first pass at everything our lawyers do, so that the lawyers can focus on human interaction. We're starting with negotiating commercial contracts, and will expand quickly from there to other use cases within legal. We're reimagining what a contract can be in the AI age. We're a veteran team, with one successful exit already, who've been doing deep learning in the legal space since long before ChatGPT.
