Legal Engineers: why you need them, how you find them, how you become one

Coffee & Learn

Legal Engineers. The role everyone's hiring for.

Every legal team seems to want one. Fewer can tell you exactly what the job is, where to find someone who can do it, or how to build the skill in-house.

Four angles, one conversation: why the role exists, how to hire for it, how to become one, and what the job actually looks like day to day.

What you'll get:

• A straight answer to "why do we need a legal engineer?" that goes beyond headcount justification
• What good hiring for the role looks like: where some of the strongest candidates come from and how to avoid common recruiting pitfalls
• The route in for anyone building toward the role themselves
  

Who it's for:

 GCs and legal ops leaders building the case for the role, hiring managers trying to find candidates, practising lawyers considering the move, and current legal engineers comparing notes.
