Relevant Law is hiring a Legal Analyst to serve as the AI-native research and analytical specialist embedded across our practice areas. This role functions as the analytical engine behind attorney decision-making — using AI systems (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, CoCounsel) alongside traditional platforms (Westlaw, LexisNexis) to conduct legal research, synthesize complex information, and support estate administration and probate workflows at a quality level that attorneys rely on for client-facing advice. The critical competency is not operating AI tools. It is the judgment to evaluate whether AI-generated research is accurate, complete, and current — catching hallucinated citations, outdated statutes, and incomplete reasoning before they reach an attorney's analysis.
Responsibilities
Conduct legal research using AI tools and traditional platforms, producing memoranda and analysis that attorneys use directly for client advisory and strategic decision-making
Support probate and estate administration matters by tracking deadlines, analyzing creditor claims, preparing estate inventories, and researching jurisdictional requirements
Critically evaluate all AI-generated research for accuracy — verifying citations, confirming statutes and case law are current, identifying analytical gaps, and flagging reasoning that does not withstand scrutiny
Design and refine research workflows and prompt strategies that produce consistent, high-quality results across practice areas and jurisdictions
Prepare case summaries, regulatory analyses, and competitive intelligence reports for attorneys working on business transactions and planning matters
Evaluate emerging AI research capabilities and recommend new tools, techniques, and workflows that improve the quality and speed of legal analysis across the platform
Collaborate with attorneys across business law, estate planning, tax planning, and probate to provide research support calibrated to each practice area's standards and conventions
Requirements
Demonstrated advanced proficiency with AI research tools (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI) and traditional legal research platforms (Westlaw, LexisNexis, or equivalent)
Substantive knowledge of estate administration, probate procedures, estate planning concepts, and business law fundamentals sufficient to evaluate AI research output for accuracy and completeness
Minimum 2 years of experience in legal research, estate administration, or analytical roles within a law firm or professional services environment
Proven ability to identify AI-generated hallucinations, outdated citations, incomplete statutory analysis, and gaps in legal reasoning
Bachelor's degree required; paralegal certificate, J.D., or graduate degree in a related field preferred
Strong written communication skills with the ability to produce professional memoranda, case summaries, and client-facing analytical briefs
Demonstrated capacity to synthesize large volumes of complex information into clear, actionable analysis under deadline pressure
What We Offer
Competitive salary with performance-based advancement
Health, dental, and vision coverage
Professional development budget including AI certifications and continuing education
Flexible work arrangements including fully remote options
Access to enterprise AI tools and legal research platforms
Opportunity to define the research and analysis function at an AI-native legal services platform
