About the Company

We are a young remote company born in Estonia 1 year ago. Our purpose is to make access to quality legal advice universally available by helping law firms reduce manual labor costs & improve customer experience with automation. We mainly work with boutique law firms (1-10 employees) in the US and UK, and implement both industry-standard tools for them & custom solutions built with no/low-code.

We help our clients eliminate mundane activities, such as emailing, collecting data, scheduling calls, invoicing, chasing payments, drafting contracts, and more, creating time for growth and more value-added tasks. We also build custom client and internal portals for firms and help them productize their services, provide a more transparent client experience, and allow their customers to self-serve.

Automation for Lawyers is already trusted by CEDR, Settlement Agreement Solicitors, Forensic Strategic Solutions, BHC Technology, Legal and Ops PC, among others.

The main values of our team are:

• Autonomy: we are a small company so the ability to self-manage and find answers to your questions without external help is crucial.
• Growth mindset: our ambitions are high and that’s why we cannot be afraid of new challenges; it’s paramount to be able to adapt, learn quickly, and view mistakes (which will inevitable happen sometimes) as growth opportunities.
• Results orientation: it’s not about how long a task takes to complete, but about the result it produces and, ultimately, how much value it brings to our client; we are looking for people who will be able to have this larger picture in mind and be motivated by compensation based on their output, not input. Please include the word “beaver” in any part of your application, otherwise it will be automatically discarded.
• Helping each other: we are in the same boat, so it’s fundamental that we help our teammates, think long-term and don’t get stuck in short-term competition.
• Honesty: without transparency and integrity in our actions, a small company is doomed for failure; we are looking for people who will be able to speak up if problems arise and be able to give and receive honest structured feedback to grow together.

The official language of the team is English, all communications and interviews will be carried out in this language.
