Join our nationally collaborative, high-performing team led by industry leaders Owen Bourke (Partner and Head of Data Intelligence), Loren Harper-Moeskops and Scott Murphy. In this role, you’ll contribute to the design and delivery of cutting-edge technology and AI-augmented workflows that enhance and transform our legal service offering.

The Role

As a Consultant in the Data Intelligence practice, you’ll join a collaborative, high-performing team leading the transformation of how legal services are delivered. In this role, you’ll play a key part in delivering legal technology, AI-driven workflows, and eDiscovery services across a range of matters including class actions, regulatory investigations, large-scale disputes, and other data-intensive matters. Partnering closely with our legal teams and clients, you’ll be part of a team dedicated to turning complex data challenges into structured, defensible solutions.

This role harnesses skills in technology, project management, and client engagement to deliver innovative, high-quality, and value driven solutions for our clients and legal teams. Leveraging industry-leading eDiscovery and AI platforms, including advanced AI-powered review technologies, you’ll create customised solutions designed to address the unique challenges of our clients.

To support your success, you’ll have access to industry leading tools such as Harvey AI, Relativity, Mary, and bespoke solutions like CaseTrace (and more), alongside the people and infrastructure needed to deliver exceptional results.

• Technical Expertise: Familiarity with legal technology platforms and eDiscovery tools such as Relativity, Harvey, Mary Technology, or similar AI and data analytics tools. While formal experience is a plus, a keen interest and willingness to learn are equally important.

• Attention to Detail: Strong attention to detail, with the ability to simplify complex data or technology concepts and present them in a clear, accessible way.

• Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, enabling you to explain technical solutions to non-technical audiences, build strong relationships, and positively influence clients and colleagues.
