Professionals in Legal Innovation often work closely with attorneys, paralegals, and IT teams to identify inefficiencies and introduce solutions like automation tools or knowledge management systems. Collaboration involves running workshops, gathering feedback from legal staff, and piloting new technologies before full-scale rollout.

Creative problem-solving, adaptability, and strong communication skills help professionals champion new ideas and drive change within traditional legal environments. These skills and qualities are essential for successfully implementing innovative solutions that improve efficiency, client service, and competitive advantage in the legal sector.

Must have Legal experience, Legal Tech experience and knowledge of AI tools.
This role is intentionally designed as a development opportunity.

What You'll Do
  • Support other Senior Legal Consultants and Legal Innovation Partners in delivering client adoption programs, training sessions, and change management initiatives
  • Facilitate training webinars, onboarding sessions, and workflow workshops for client users at law firms and legal departments
  • Assist in developing training content, adoption guides, workflow documentation, and enablement resources
  • Monitor client adoption metrics and engagement data, preparing reports and identifying trends for the supervising LC/PM or LIP
  • Respond to client enablement inquiries, coordinating with Legal Innovation Partners and the technical team to ensure issues are addressed promptly
  • Develop a deep working knowledge of the NetDocuments platform, AI features, and integration ecosystem - becoming a trusted resource for clients navigating day-to-day platform questions

  • Working knowledge of AI tools and their practical business applications mainly pertaining to legal uses and workflows
  • Basic familiarity with law firm or in-house legal department operations - you understand the environment your clients work in, even if you are still building deep expertise
  • Strong communication skills - written and verbal. You can facilitate a meeting, write a clear follow-up email, and present a training deck without stage fright
  • Organized and detail-oriented - you manage multiple workstreams simultaneously and follow through on commitments reliably
  • Curiosity about legal AI and technology - you are the kind of person who reads about what is happening in legal tech and gets excited about its implications
  • Collaborative and coachable - you take feedback well, ask good questions, and are invested in your own development
  • Experience with LegalTech platforms, document management systems, or Microsoft 365 is a plus
  • Ability to travel up to 10% to client sites and team events
