Lighthouse Law Group & its client Eliya Holdings are looking for a motivated champion of legal tech - someone who's not interested in sticking to the status quo but keen to see the legal profession move into the 21st century by using great legal tech tools.
We need a volunteer prepared to take on some of the "old-school" thinkers who don't believe in all this new "AI stuff", someone who won't back down after one or many knockbacks but will keep pushing to change the legal profession from the inside. You will get the opportunity to play with some cool new AI based legal tech which will hopefully be in the hands of most legal professionals in the next few years and meet with some of the forward thinkers in (and out of) the profession.
If you're the right candidate and can organise the meet & greets with the right people you will be offered an opportunity to take equity in Eliya Holdings.
