Senior AI Advisor

Main Responsibilities (not exhaustive)

Partner Concierge Service

• Act as a senior AI advisor to the partners of the firm’s European and Hong Kong offices, earning their trust from the first conversation.
• Orient partners to the firm’s AI tools: what the firm has licensed, how to gain access, and which tool suits which kind of work.
• Take in requests from the partners in your region, triage them, and log each one in the team’s record so it can be tracked through to resolution, including requests referred to LASER or IS.
• Facilitate working sessions that take partners from first access to applying the firm’s AI tools in their own practice.
• Keep a ready set of session outlines, curriculum, and worked examples for each tool, so any partner can be brought up to speed efficiently and at the depth they want, and contribute them to the team’s central set so colleagues in other offices can adapt them.
• Build and refine solutions around the way individual partners and their teams actually work, taking on directly what is within reach and bringing LASER in where a request calls for more.
• Develop AI talking points and materials that help partners speak with confidence to their clients about the firm’s use of AI.
• Build AI sessions for partner audiences and deliver them in whatever setting fits, from one partner at their desk to a practice group’s partners together.

Lawyer Advisory

• Advise lawyers on discrete AI use cases arising in live matters, assessing where AI can add value and which tool best fits the task.
• Partner with LASER and practice group AI solution lawyers where a matter use case warrants a purpose-built solution.
• Keep advisory work to tool fit and workflow.

Collaboration & Continuous Learning

• Champion a culture of curiosity and continuous learning, meeting partners and lawyers where they are.
• Work closely with your fellow AI Advisors and the AI Advisory Analyst to deliver a consistent service across the firm’s offices.
• Cultivate trusted relationships across the broader Legal Technology & Enablement group and with LASER, Professional Development, and IS.
• Add every solution you deliver to the team’s solutions record at the point of delivery and keep your entries current so a colleague can pick up an engagement when you are unavailable.
• Stay current on AI and legal technology trends, tracking peer firm developments and wider market direction.

Person Specification

• Qualified lawyer (solicitor or barrister of England and Wales, or an equivalent qualification in another jurisdiction), with a current practicing certificate or eligibility to hold one. Meaningful post-qualification experience in private practice is essential, as the role involves advising partners and lawyers on the use of AI in live matters.
• Extensive experience (typically 7+ years) in legal technology, innovation, enablement, knowledge management, or practice support, ideally within a law firm, professional services, or comparable knowledge-driven environment.
• Strong practical fluency with generative AI tools.
• Strong understanding of how partners lead teams, serve clients, and build business, and of where AI can improve that work.
• Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing skills, with proven ability to build credibility with partners and senior lawyers.
• Demonstrated success driving technology adoption with senior stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to build training from scratch, including session outlines and worked examples, and deliver it to a senior professional audience, one-to-one and in front of a group.
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and presentation skills.
• Willingness to travel to the firm’s other offices as engagements require.
