Legal Technology Paralegal
London - hybrid working available
£45,000 - £55,000 + excellent company benefits


Looking to move beyond traditional paralegal work?

 

This is an opportunity for a paralegal to step into the growing world of legal technology and innovation within a global law firm.

 

You do not need prior legal tech experience, just a genuine interest in how technology can improve legal work and the curiosity to learn.

 

You’ll work alongside lawyers, technologists, and innovation specialists to help deliver smarter, more efficient legal services, including exposure to AI tools and high-value transactions.

 

What you’ll be doing

·        Supporting the rollout and day-to-day use of legal technology tools across live matters

·        Working with lawyers and teams to improve how legal work is delivered

·        Helping coordinate projects, track progress, and keep initiatives on schedule

·        Acting as a bridge between legal teams and technology specialists

·        Learning how AI and automation tools are applied in a commercial legal environment

 

Why this role stands out

·        Clear entry point into legal tech / innovation without prior experience

·        Hands-on exposure to AI and cutting-edge legal tools

·        Opportunity to move away from purely administrative paralegal work

·        Involvement in high-profile, complex matters

·        Strong long-term career pathway into legal innovation, operations, or consulting

 

What they’re looking for

·        Current (or recent) paralegal experience within a law firm

·        An interest in technology, AI, or improving legal processes

·        Organised and proactive, with the ability to manage multiple tasks

·        Confident communicator who enjoys working with different teams

·        Curious mindset - someone who wants to build a career in a new direction

 

The bottom line

 

This isn’t about what you’ve already done in legal tech - it’s about where you want your career to go.

 

If you’re a paralegal who’s starting to question the traditional path and wants something more future-focused, this is a very credible first step.

 

Applications can only be considered from those eligible to live & work in the UK without restriction.
