Legal AI lawyer-consultant (AI Product)
Dubai, UAE · Hybrid · Full-time
About the role
Nexala AI is an AI-powered legal research platform built specifically for the UAE and MENA market — covering emirate-level legislation, DIFC and ADGM case law in one system. We are looking for a Junior Lawyer to join as the legal expertise behind the product. This is not a traditional legal role: instead of advising clients, you will apply your legal knowledge to make our AI more accurate, more useful, and more trusted by the lawyers who rely on it.
Responsibilities
- Test the platform against real legal research scenarios and document issues, gaps, and inaccuracies
- Advise the development team on legal logic, terminology, source hierarchy, and how lawyers actually work
- Train and refine our language model by posing legal questions, reviewing its answers, and correcting them for accuracy and reasoning
- Verify that outputs are correctly grounded in UAE legislation and case law
- Help shape how legal content is structured and presented within the product
Requirements
- Law degree (UAE or international); 0–2 years of experience
- Solid understanding of UAE legal sources, including DIFC and ADGM frameworks
- Strong English; Arabic is a significant advantage for working with primary sources
- Precise, detail-oriented, and able to explain legal reasoning clearly in writing
- Genuine interest in AI and legal technology — no technical background required, but curiosity is essential
What we offer
- Hybrid working format combining office and remote work
- A rare chance to build a legal AI product from the ground up rather than apply one
- Direct collaboration with the founding and engineering teams
- Real influence over a product used by law firms and legal departments across the region
