Legal Intern London, England
Job description
Why LawAdvisor?
LawAdvisor was founded in 2015 in Melbourne, Australia with a fearless and ambitious belief: that everybody should have access to justice.
We hypothesised that the high costs, inefficiencies, and difficulties of obtaining legal help could be overcome simply by providing greater access to legal information, and by providing everybody with real- time access to high-quality, affordable lawyers online.
Our mission has since been supported by thousands of lawyers and has allowed us to expand and set up offices across the globe. We've also attracted high profile investors and partners who have shared our mission to transform legal service delivery.
We're still not satisfied. The potential exists to completely revolutionise the practice of law. The start of this decade has delivered LawAdvisor with a new mandate: to overhaul and transform how lawyers work, and how people interact with and consume legal services, with state of the art legal practice management technology to (i) increase efficiencies; (ii) automate routine processes; (iii) increase transparency; (iv) bring the legal practice to the 21st century.
Your Responsibilities of the Role:
Be the voice of our customers, understand what they need to hear and find trends in the industry to support that.- Spot and research trends early so LawAdvisor has the opportunity to showcase its ‘know how’ and let its community know first.
- Present ideas for further research to your team, supported by reliable evidence to explain why we need to invest time in that area.
- Understand the legal-technology ‘space’ and the value systems that surround the legal service industry.
