Who You Are:

You might be a former lawyer, legal ops lead, or legal technologist who’s excited about building rather than billing. You’re curious, structured, and energised by turning ambiguity into scalable systems. You get joy from both the law and the tooling that supports it—and you want to leave your mark on what legal work looks like in the AI era.
