Legal AI lawyer-consultant (English/Arabic speaker)

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
