Alaro • New York City, NY

About The Position

As a lawyer at Alaro, you’ll help shape what an AI-native law firm looks like in practice; delivering clear, timely legal judgment to clients while building a faster, more consistent delivery model behind the scenes. You’ll work closely with clients and other external stakeholders with the guidance of senior lawyers, and partner day-to-day with our internal engineering and operations teams to translate what happens on real matters into better systems, tooling and playbooks. This is a highly visible role: your work will directly influence client outcomes, business growth, and how quickly we can scale high-quality legal delivery.

Requirements

• Practicing attorney (3+ years of relevant post J.D. experience) in Big Law and/or in-house, with strong capability across both corporate and commercial matters.
• Admitted to practice in New York and in good standing.
• Take responsibility for outcomes (not tasks), close loops reliably, and care deeply about the quality of what goes out the door.
• Understand commercial objectives and dynamics, and you can translate complex legal issues into clear, practical recommendations.
• Comfortable being visible with clients and contributing to business growth over time.
• Enthusiastic about leveraging AI to improve legal service delivery.
• Naturally looking for ways to improve speed, consistency, and quality through templates, playbooks, workflows, and standardization.
• Clear evidence of sustained top-tier performance in something (inside or outside work).

Responsibilities

• Support matters across corporate and commercial matters, drafting, reviewing and negotiating documents with supervision from a senior lawyer.
• Interpret terms, identify risk, and give clear, actionable advice, balancing legal rigor with the client’s commercial objectives and timeline, knowing when to escalate key issues to supervising senior lawyers.
• Collaborate closely with legal colleagues to deliver consistently high-quality outcomes, share learnings, and raise the bar across the team.
• Partner with engineering and operations to advance our delivery model and tooling, turning real matter feedback into better systems that compound our impact.
• Standardize and codify recurring work into templates, precedents, and playbooks that improve consistency and speed without losing judgment.
• Champion internal tooling and workflows so routine work moves faster: freeing lawyers to spend more time on negotiation strategy, critical decisions, and client outcomes.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and meaningful commission/equity
• Real responsibility and impact from day one
• Client exposure from day one
• Work closely with founders, senior lawyers, and the engineering team
• Autonomy and support to make your mark by building enduring client relationships over time, and by testing and scaling better ways of practicing (tooling, templates, playbooks, workflows) across the firm.
• Company offsite once a year in Alaro (Mallorca)
• Regular team gatherings in one of our offices
