Legal Architect – Dispute Strategy & AI – Aavalynx

Help build the future of dispute resolution.

At Aavagard and Aavalynx, we believe the future of disputes is not about replacing lawyers with AI. It is about enabling lawyers to make better strategic decisions.

We are building the next generation of dispute resolution: combining world-class legal expertise, strategic thinking, data, and artificial intelligence to help clients understand not only what the law says, but what they should do.

To achieve this, we are looking for an exceptional dispute resolution lawyer who is fascinated by technology, enjoys solving complex problems, and wants to help shape entirely new ways of practising law.

This is not a traditional fee-earning role. Nor is it a software engineering role. It is an opportunity to become one of the architects of how complex disputes will be managed over the coming decade.

The Role

As a Legal Architect, you will work alongside litigators, AI engineers, mathematicians and product specialists to transform legal expertise into scalable strategic intelligence.

You will help design the legal workflows, reasoning processes and decision frameworks that power our technology.

Your work may include:

• Designing AI-assisted workflows for complex commercial disputes.
• Translating litigation strategy into structured decision models.
• Working with engineers to improve legal reasoning within our platform.
• Developing prompts, evaluation methodologies and testing frameworks for legal AI.
• Validating AI outputs against real-world legal analysis.
• Helping build tools that support settlement strategy, case assessment and litigation planning.
• Identifying recurring legal processes that can be redesigned or automated.
  Working directly with clients to understand how technology can improve dispute management.
• Contributing to product design, new features and long-term platform strategy.
  Staying at the forefront of developments in legal technology and generative AI.

Every week will look different.

Some days you may be analysing legal arguments.

Others you may be designing product features with engineers.

Others you may be discussing litigation strategy with senior lawyers or demonstrating new functionalities to clients.

Who We’re Looking For:

We care far more about curiosity, analytical ability and strategic thinking than years of experience.

You are likely to:

• Be a qualified lawyer with experience in commercial litigation, arbitration or complex disputes.
• Enjoy thinking about strategy and business as much as law.
• Have a genuine interest in AI, technology and innovation.
• Naturally break complex problems into structured frameworks.
• Enjoy collaborating across disciplines.
• Be excited by building something rather than simply maintaining existing processes.
• Be comfortable challenging assumptions and experimenting with new ideas.
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Be intellectually curious and continuously learning.

You do not need to know how to code.

However, an understanding of AI tools, prompt engineering, data structures or product thinking is an advantage.

What Makes This Role Different:

Most legal architect roles focus on document automation, workflow optimisation or implementing existing legal technology.

This role is different.

You will help create new methods of strategic legal reasoning.

You will contribute to products that combine legal expertise with artificial intelligence to support better decision-making across the lifecycle of complex disputes.

You will have genuine influence over how those products evolve and how lawyers interact with them.

Why Join Us?

You will have the opportunity to:

• Help define an entirely new category within dispute resolution.
• Work directly with leading litigators, AI specialists and product engineers.
• Influence the design of technology used in high-value commercial disputes.
• Learn rapidly across law, technology, product development and AI.
• Take ownership from day one.
• Shape the future of legal practice rather than simply adapting to it.

We Think You’ll Thrive Here If…

• You are the lawyer who enjoys redesigning the process as much as winning the case.
• You find yourself wondering how AI could improve legal strategy rather than fearing it.
• You enjoy asking “Why do we do it this way?”
• You like working with engineers and can translate between legal and technical worlds.
• You want your career to sit at the intersection of law, strategy and technology.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
