About The Position

LexStaffing is developing a managed AI staffing platform for solo practitioners and small law firms. Their initial offering, "Ava," functions as an AI Front Desk, providing 24/7 call answering, structured intake, consultation booking, and outbound callbacks, thereby reducing operational burden for lawyers. LexStaffing operates on a Role-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, where Ava is managed, trained, and optimized by LexStaffing, with lawyers evaluating the service based on outcomes like time saved and consultations booked. The company has completed problem and solution validation, with multiple live pilots currently in production evaluation. The immediate focus is on ensuring in-production technical reliability, delivery economics, and scalability. The Technical Co-founder (CTO) will be a dedicated partner, prioritizing sustainable equity appreciation and long-term organizational value.
