About the role

  • Legal Engineer at Orbital working on AI-powered legal assistant, transforming real estate law practices. Join a pioneering team focused on innovation in legal technology.

Responsibilities

  • Translate commercial real estate legal work into structured, repeatable workflows that can be understood by AI systems.
  • Break down complex legal tasks (e.g. due diligence, lease analysis, title review) into discrete steps, rules, and decision logic.
  • Collaborate with engineers and product teams to design, test, and refine AI-driven legal features.
  • Review and improve AI outputs to ensure legal accuracy, clarity, and usefulness for practising lawyers.
  • Help define best-in-class legal standards for AI-assisted real estate work.
  • Stay close to how lawyers actually work, ensuring products are grounded in real-world practice rather than theory.

Requirements

  • You’re a Scottish-qualified solicitor (England & Wales and/or Scotland) with experience in commercial real estate, including areas such as acquisitions, disposals, leasing, development, or real estate finance.
  • Ideally, you have 5+ years PQE, but we’re very open to strong candidates with less experience who show the right mindset.
  • You can deconstruct legal work into clear, logical steps that could be followed by a machine or automated process.
  • You’re highly tech-literate, curious, and comfortable learning new tools quickly.
  • You’re genuinely interested in AI, large language models, and LegalTech, and how they can be applied to improve legal practice.
  • You may not have done a role like this before (almost no one has!) — but you’re analytical, adaptable, and excited by building something new.

Benefits

  • Competitive starting salary
  • Matched pension contributions
  • Flexible working hours and location
  • 25 days paid holiday (plus bank holidays)
  • Professional equipment and personal development budget along with training opportunities to learn and develop your skills
  • Cycle-to-work scheme
  • An inclusive community enjoying all-company off-sites, lunches and socials
