Real estate is the world’s largest asset class, yet the legal processes and tools behind it remain slow, manual, and underinvested. Lawyers still review dense documents line by line and piece together information across silos — all while clients demand faster, more transparent due diligence.

That’s where this company comes in. They’ve built an AI assistant designed exclusively for commercial real estate law. Developed alongside former practicing real estate lawyers, the platform accelerates complex due diligence by up to 70% while delivering legal-grade precision.

The company recently raised a $60m Series B to accelerate UK/US expansion. The platform is trusted by leading Am Law firms to remove the busywork so legal teams can focus on applying sharp legal judgment, delivering standout client service, and getting deals over the line faster.

Joining the team means becoming part of a company that is reimagining how real estate transactions get done — moving quickly, working collaboratively, and giving people ownership to make a real impact from day one.

Role Overview

As a Legal Solutions Architect, you will partner with leading Am Law 200 firms and in-house legal teams to unlock the value of real-estate-specific AI in their practices.

In this client-facing role on the go-to-market team, you will serve as a trusted advisor to partners and innovation leaders — guiding successful pilots, coaching legal teams through change, and driving long-term adoption of the platform.

You will collaborate closely with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and Product to deliver strategic insights, enable customers, and provide thought leadership across the customer lifecycle.

This role is ideal for a US-qualified attorney who is passionate about how legal technology can transform the practice of real estate law and who thrives in dynamic, evolving environments.

What You’ll Do

• Partner closely with Account Executives to drive the legal “win” during the sales process by aligning the platform’s solutions to real-world legal workflows.
• Engage with attorneys at law firms, title agencies, and real estate companies to uncover pain points and identify high-impact AI use cases.
• Facilitate tailored product demonstrations, discovery sessions, and pilot programs aligned to specific legal teams and practice groups.
• Coach attorneys and legal staff through workflow change, adapting your approach to different roles, seniority levels, and firm cultures.
• Build consultative, trust-based relationships with key legal stakeholders using your real estate subject-matter expertise.
• Translate customer feedback into actionable insights for Product, Sales, and Marketing — acting as the legal “Voice of the Customer.”
• Contribute to go-to-market efforts by developing practice-area-specific content that resonates with lawyers.
• Collaborate with engineers and data scientists to provide feedback on product performance.
• Conduct market research and competitor analysis to inform positioning and sales strategy.
• Reinforce market presence through thought leadership, CLEs, publications, and industry events.

You Should Apply If

• You are a US-qualified attorney (JD + active or eligible bar) with 4–8+ years of experience in commercial real estate law.
• You have deep experience in acquisitions, dispositions, due diligence, land use, construction, and/or real estate finance.
• You understand legal workflows end-to-end, from paralegals to partners.
• You enjoy being client-facing and advising senior stakeholders.
• You’re passionate about the impact legal technology can have on real estate practice.
• You’re highly computer-literate and curious about LLMs, model behavior, and responsible AI adoption.
• You thrive in fast-moving, collaborative startup environments.
• You can represent a high-growth legal technology company credibly to sophisticated audiences.

Nice to Have

• Experience with legal software or LegalTech tools.
• Experience running deals and briefing partners or senior stakeholders.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary + commission ($140,000–$190,000 base range, with OTE of $175,000–$237,500)

• 20 days paid holiday + additional personal days
• Professional equipment and personal development budget
• Commuter benefits

Security is a shared responsibility. Team members are expected to follow security policies, complete awareness training, and handle sensitive data in line with ISO 27001 standards.

The Center for Family Representation Inc. (CFR) is an award-winning, innovative law and policy organization that serves primarily Black and Brown families and youth in Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island with an interdisciplinary legal defense model that serves more than 2400 clients every year. CFR was originally founded in 2002 to dramatically change the trajectory of indigent parents being prosecuted by the City’s Administration for Children’s Services (ACS). Our goal is to defend and protect our clients’ rights, reduce the harm of family separation and prevent or minimize the time any child spends in the foster system.

CFR provides interdisciplinary family defense with a model that was unique at our founding and that is now being replicated nationally: we assign every client an attorney and a social work staff member, and teams have the support of parent advocates, who are parents with direct personal experience of having been investigated and prosecuted by ACS. CFR was the first agency in the country to integrate parents with lived experience into legal teams and now has 11 parent advocates working in all four of our family defense locations. CFR’s Early Defense Practice represents parents during an ACS investigation (to avoid court involvement where possible). Our SCR Practice assists parents in clearing their names from state maltreatment records.

As an agency committed to securing justice for families, we built the Youth Defense Practice (YDP) to defend youth at risk of family separation through incarceration. YDP uses the same interdisciplinary model to represent youth being prosecuted in Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens in Juvenile Delinquency and Persons In Need of Supervision (PINS) proceedings in Family Court. CFR’s Home for Good program provides legal and social work services to CFR clients in immigration, civil legal services and criminal defense matters, to afford clients an efficient and well-coordinated one-stop solution to a range of issues that threaten family stability.

Recognized as experts in our fields, we annually train over 500 practitioners in the city, state and around the country on strategies to promote family preservation and interdisciplinary representation, and we provide community based “Know Your Rights” presentations to parents, youth and service providers. We advocate at the city, state and national level for policies that reduce the harm of family separation, and promote parent engagement and justice for youth and families.

CFR has an immediate opening for a Staff Attorney in its Youth Defense Practice (YDP) in Manhattan.

Under the supervision and guidance of CFR’s Youth Defense Supervisors, the Staff Attorney’s core responsibilities will be to represent clients charged on juvenile delinquency (JD) matters and PINS petitions in Family Court .

The candidate will receive training on youth and family defense.

The candidate will work collaboratively with legal teams, composed of attorneys, social work staff, investigators, and paralegals (clients’ legal teams may also involve staff from CFR’s immigration or housing/public benefits units).

The position will be based out of the Manhattan family court.

The candidate should also expect to maintain new and evolving youth defense data in Case Management System and client legal notes; keep files up to date; keep additional data related to deliverables for private funders supporting the Youth Defense Practice, and/or to meet with prospective and current funders; and help to inform and grow CFR’s Youth Defense Practice. This person may also participate in community based outreach and presentations for families whose youth are impacted by or are at risk of juvenile justice involvement.

The ideal candidate will enjoy the opportunity to wear multiple hats, learn a lot and enjoy working with teams.
