Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.
Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.
1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview.
We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.
Joining Legora means three things.
We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
We grow together: as a team and with our customers.
Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.
If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.
What You'll Do
Let's get the tricky part out of the way: this role doesn't fit neatly into a traditional box. It's part legal ops, part product specialist, part solutions architect, and part client whisperer. If you enjoy roles that stay static, this probably isn't it. Your mission is to help our clients, some of the most sophisticated asset managers, fund counsel teams, deal teams, and law firm practices in the world, get the absolute most out of our platform.
Some of what you'll be up to:
Acting as a thought partner to general counsel, chief compliance officers, and fund formation partners - both in-house and at law firms - building trusted relationships, addressing tricky pain points, and identifying high-value opportunities for them to scale their use of Legora across strategies, funds, and jurisdictions.
Working together with Go To Market and Customer Success in taking full ownership of client relationships - from running pilots with legal and compliance teams, to onboarding new team members across legal, compliance, and investment operations functions, and ultimately guiding firm-wide adoption across private equity, private credit, hedge fund, real estate, and infrastructure managers, as well as the fund formation and asset management groups at leading law firms.
Be the voice of asset management users inside Legora - sharing insights from fund formation teams, in-house counsel, and compliance functions that directly inform product development, roadmap priorities, and strategic direction.
Delivering clear, confident product demos and training that bring the power of our platform to life - whether you're presenting to a general counsel or a law firm funds partner, rolling out to a compliance team ahead of an exam cycle, or training deal teams on diligence workflows.
Documenting best practices from leading asset managers, fund counsel teams, and law firm funds practices, contribute to the development of scalable playbooks, and help shape how we grow this function globally.
Confidently helping asset management teams navigate one of the biggest shifts in how the industry operates - from evaluating the ROI and competitive advantage of AI to clearly mapping how AI will impact different functions, from fund formation and side letter negotiation to regulatory compliance and investor reporting.
Understanding and navigating the requirements of regulated financial institutions, including confidentiality expectations, information barriers, vendor due diligence, and the scrutiny that comes with SEC oversight.
Partnering with deal teams at sponsors, sovereign investors, and law firms on transaction workflows - building diligence grids, closing checklists, and document review processes that run at deal speed across M&A, growth, and venture transactions.
What You Bring
You come from the world of funds, asset management, or M&A; but you've never been content with how things have always been done. You may have practiced as a private funds associate at a leading law firm, negotiating fund documents, side letters, and co-investment structures. Perhaps you've worked in-house at an asset manager, running lean legal processes across the full fund lifecycle. Maybe you've built your career in compliance, managing regulatory obligations, exams, and investor requirements at an investment firm. Or you may have cut your teeth in M&A or ECVC, running diligence and negotiating transaction documents under deal pressure. Either way, you know how asset management and funds teams — in-house and at law firms — think, work, and (sometimes) struggle and you're ready to help them level up with technology.
You'll thrive in this role if you:
Hold a law degree (JD or equivalent) and bring 3+ years of experience in a private funds or M&A/ECVC practice at a law firm, in-house at an asset management firm, or in a regulatory or compliance function - ideally with exposure to multiple fund strategies, structures, deal types, or jurisdictions.
Understand the asset management context: fund lifecycles, GP/LP dynamics, side letter and MFN obligations, subscription documents, DDQs, and the regulatory landscape - from the Advisers Act and Marketing Rule to Form ADV, Form PF, and SEC exam readiness.
Are tech-curious and product-savvy. Not necessarily a coder, but passionate about navigating technical conversations, especially around things like generative AI, technology implementation, innovation and productivity.
Communicate clearly and confidently with diverse stakeholders, from general counsel to chief compliance officers, and from investor relations teams to engineers. I.e. translating across disciplines is second nature to you.
Bring structure to ambiguity and energy to complexity; and enjoy being the calm, credible presence in a fast-moving environment.
Understand how to evaluate and improve existing processes as a direct result of new and emerging technologies - whether that's streamlining fund formation and side letter review, tracking investor obligations across funds, accelerating DDQ and RFP responses, or strengthening compliance and marketing reviews.
Are proactive, self-directed, and comfortable juggling multiple client relationships at once.
Care deeply about quality, but don't get stuck in perfectionism - you get things done, and you make them better over time.
Understand the commercial realities of asset management: fundraising timelines, investor expectations, regulatory scrutiny, pressure on legal and compliance budgets, and the balance between speed and rigor when capital is on the line.
