Legora is an AI-native legal workspace that helps legal professionals move faster and operate with greater precision. The company serves 2,100+ customers across 80+ countries, including major law firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, and Linklaters, and has scaled to $200M+ ARR.
This Legal Engineer role is a hybrid position combining legal operations, product specialist, solutions architect, and client success responsibilities. You will serve as a thought partner to IP teams at law firms and in-house departments, helping them maximize value from Legora's platform across the full spectrum of IP practice: trademark prosecution and litigation, patent prosecution and litigation, copyright, privacy, advertising and media, and brand protection.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building trusted relationships with IP partners, prosecution leads, and litigation teams, addressing their pain points and identifying opportunities to scale platform adoption
- Collaborating with Go To Market and Customer Success teams to own client relationships, run pilots, onboard new users, and drive firm-wide adoption
- Serving as the voice of IP users inside Legora, translating client insights to inform product development, roadmap priorities, and strategic direction
- Delivering product demos and training to diverse audiences, from name partners to associates
- Documenting best practices and developing scalable playbooks for global expansion
- Helping IP teams navigate AI adoption, evaluating ROI and competitive advantage, and mapping how AI will reshape prosecution, brand enforcement, portfolio management, and litigation
You will work from Legora's Union Square office in a collaborative, fast-paced environment alongside teams across Europe, North America, and APAC.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Background in IP practice (trademark prosecution/litigation, patent prosecution/litigation, copyright, privacy, advertising/media, or brand protection) gained at an IP boutique, AmLaw IP group, or in-house IP team
- Minimum 3+ years of legal practice at a law firm
- Tech-curious and product-savvy; passionate about navigating technical conversations, especially around generative AI, technology implementation, and innovation
- Clear and confident communication with diverse stakeholders (IP partners, in-house counsel, lawyers, engineers); ability to translate across disciplines
- Ability to bring structure to ambiguity and energy to complexity; calm, credible presence in fast-moving environments
- Understanding of how to evaluate and improve processes through new and emerging technologies (office-action responses, clearance searches, prior-art analysis, brand enforcement at scale)
- Proactive, self-directed, comfortable managing multiple client relationships simultaneously
- Quality-focused but pragmatic; able to execute and iterate
- Understanding of commercial realities of legal practice: team leverage, client value demonstration, matter management, balancing technical excellence with commercial delivery
PLUS, if you are a patent prosecutor:
- Registration to practice before the USPTO (patent bar) and a science or engineering degree (EE, ME, CS, physics, chemistry, or life sciences)
- Hands-on experience drafting and prosecuting patent applications
