Full job description
About Us 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.
2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.
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.
The role: World-class legal AI is built on world-class legal data. Getting that right is one of the most critical and complex challenges at Legora. Every jurisdiction holds billions of pages of critical legal text scattered across hundreds of sources – statutes, case law, regulatory guidance, secondary materials, and more. Only about 3% is publicly accessible on the web. The rest is buried across courts, agencies, and archives. Getting this right doesn't just improve a product feature — it shapes how lawyers around the world navigate legal information for the next several decades. As a Legal Data Analyst at Legora, you will own this challenge. You will be the person who is responsible for mapping the legal source ecosystem, determining and prioritizing what we go after, and how this content shall be structured and systematized — the one who makes sure we actually get legal data right. Few roles at the company will have more direct impact on Legora AI’s ability to navigate the law correctly.
What you will be doing:
-
Map the legal data landscape across key jurisdictions — structuring how statutes, case law, secondary sources, and regulatory content interrelate, building a clear picture of what exists, where it lives, and how it connects
-
Conduct deep dives into individual sources, assessing available material, document types, commercial value, and the legal preconditions for data acquisition
-
Prioritise data acquisition based on client demand, user value, and Legora's broader data coverage strategy
-
Serve as the critical link between legal knowledge and our engineering teams — translating the nuances of each source into actionable briefs that enable our engineers to get the most out of every dataset
-
Own the quality and accuracy of the legal data layer that underpins Legora's global legal research product
Who you are
-
You are a detail-oriented lawyer with an exceptional track record — academically, professionally, or both
-
You are excited about what AI is doing to the legal industry and you want to be close to that shift
-
You find legal source theory and jurisdictional complexity genuinely interesting — the kind of lawyer who has always enjoyed digging deep and doing extensive research
•
- You are thorough and precise, with a natural attention to detail
What’s in it for you:
-
The legal data infrastructure you help build will be what lawyers across the world use to navigate law for the next several decades — this is foundational work, not a feature ticket
-
Career development opportunities in one of the fastest growing AI companies in the world
