About Us
Legora is on a mission: to redefine how legal work gets done. From the very start we have been very clear about the fact that we are not building a solution for lawyers, we are building it with them, because it is the only way to make sure it gets done the right way; working side-by-side every step of the way.
Our AI-native workspace empowers legal professionals not just to work faster - but to ask better questions, unlock new insights. Every day, we push the boundaries of legal tech to make complex processes smarter, faster, and more human. From thousands of documents analysed in minutes to intelligent workflows designed in collaboration with leading practices, we’re turning possibility into reality.
Today we are trusted by global firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird and Linklaters in over 40 countries, but we have no plans on stopping here. We ship fast, we iterate effectively, and we scale rapidly - not by accident, but by design.
When you join Legora, you become part of a team that believes "good enough" isn’t good enough and that the way to win is together, by empowering lawyers to do their best work with technology that truly understands them. If you’re excited by building from first principles, working with exceptional people, and accelerating change in a high-stakes, high-impact domain—then this is the moment and the place.
We’re not just shaping the future of legal tech — we’re defining it. Ready to join us in building the intelligent future of law?
The Role
As a Legal AI Analyst, you will help build the benchmark dataset we use to evaluate how well our AI understands US law. Legal reasoning demands precision: the right source, correctly cited, applied to the right question - a tool that gets this wrong isn't just unhelpful, it's harmful. By pairing real legal prompts with human-verified sources (case law, statutes, regulations), we create a reliable measure of whether our AI retrieves what a competent lawyer would. Get this right, and it shapes the future of legal research.
Why You, Why Law Students?
We need breadth - not necessarily super-deep, domain-specific expertise. We need academic excellence and precision. Top law students at towards the end of their studies - such as yourself - are the best at providing just this. On a side-note, you are also the future of legal practice, and we would love to build the future of legal research together with and for you.
What You'll Do
Construct realistic research cases: well-formed legal questions paired with the sources a top attorney would retrieve to answer it
Cover federal and state, statutory, and case law to keep the dataset representative
Lean into the practice areas you know best - corporate, litigation, tax, constitutional, etc
Who You Are
A current 2L or 3L at a top-tier US law school with strong academic standing
You understand what "good research" actually looks like in practice - not just finding a source, but finding the right ones
Detail-oriented and driven - you take personal pride in the quality of your output and bring that same standard to everything you put your name on
