Job Description
Your time will be split across two areas of work.
AI and knowledge infrastructure
- Map existing legal workflows across the employment function to identify processes that are candidates for AI-assisted automation or enhancement.
- Work with lawyers to pilot and test AI tools against specific employment law use cases: for example, jurisdiction summaries, first-draft playbooks, or clause libraries.
- Research and document best-practice approaches to AI use in in-house legal functions, drawing on external developments as well as internal needs.
- Help build and populate a knowledge management system with structured, reusable legal content: jurisdiction guides, process notes, frequently asked questions (FAQs), and precedent documents.
- Support quality review of AI-generated outputs, identifying errors, gaps, and hallucinations to help calibrate tool usage and guardrails.
Employment law support
- Conduct legal research across EMEA jurisdictions on employment topics arising from live matters, including works council obligations, termination frameworks, and data privacy requirements in an employment context.
- Draft research notes, jurisdiction summaries, and briefing documents for review by qualified lawyers.
- Assist in the development of employment law playbooks and process guides as part of the wider governance programme.
- Track and summarise legislative and regulatory developments across EMEA that are relevant to the function's work.
- Support the team with day-to-day administrative and coordination tasks as needed.
Person specification
Essential
- A graduate with a genuine interest in pursuing a career in law.
- A clear interest in employment or labour law.
- Strong research and written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, accurate summaries for a non-specialist audience.
- Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams and meet deadlines in a fast-moving environment.
- Proficient in Microsoft 365: Teams, SharePoint, Excel, Word, and Outlook.
- Curious about AI and its application in legal work: you do not need to be technical, but you should be genuinely interested in how AI is changing the practice of law.
Desirable
- Prior exposure to an in-house legal environment, a law firm, or a legal technology setting through work experience, a vacation scheme, or a previous internship.
- Familiarity with AI tools.
