Careers · Built on AI, to be more human

Be human again

AI can grind. You can be human: In the relationships you build, the judgment you exercise, and the strategy you shape. After all, being human is what we were born to do.

Where law is going

Law firms don’t have a right to their future. They earn it by serving clients better.

AI is the biggest change to the law in our working lives. We feel privileged to witness it, and we intend to help lead it.

Law firms exist to serve their clients and to discharge their duty to the court. As the world changes, law firms must evolve to keep doing both well.

So we put the client experience first. We are building the legal profession’s new front door: Faster to reach, easier to afford, and proactive instead of reactive. Powerful tools in the client’s hands, and an expert lawyer in their corner.

And this is the part we love. When the technology takes the grind, lawyers get to be human again: More empathetic, closer to their clients, and free to focus on what people actually need.

We have spent seven years building the benchmark legal technology behind Lawlux. We have shown that AI can make legal help faster, affordable and proactive, without losing the human judgment clients rely on when the stakes are high.

Now we want your help to breathe life into it. Come make your mark on legal, with us.

The work AI gives back

AI grinds. You do what only a lawyer can.

The platform takes the parts that drain a lawyer's day. What is left is what you trained for, and what lasts.

AI takes the grind
  • The legal research
  • The first drafts
  • The document review
  • The chasing and the admin
You keep the work that matters
  • The client who trusts you
  • Space to think deeply
  • Judgment in the depth of a mediation
  • Time for the people around you
The deal

A real stake, real technology, real freedom

A stake and a say

Principal Lawyers receive a real stake in the firm, and profit flows fairly to the teams earning it. Specific terms in a confidential conversation.

The best technology in law

Benchmark technology, in-house AI engineering and an obsession with understanding clients, so you keep moving up the productivity ladder and stay your clients' trusted advisor.

Freedom to do the work that matters

The technology takes the grind. You make the calls that count, finalise the letter that has to be right, and sit with the board when the stakes are high.

The day to day

Spend your day on judgment, not admin

Reassure does the groundwork, so your hours go to clients, strategy and the people around you.

How we practise

Built around lawyers, not the clock

01Wellbeing

As supportive as it is high performing

30%of Australian lawyers report symptoms that put them at higher risk of depression or anxiety.1

The law has a wellbeing problem, and pretending otherwise helps no one. The billable hour, the always on culture and the long hours are not side effects. They are the model.

We built a different one: Boundaries that are respected, work from anywhere, ironclad values, and technology that removes the grind so the work that remains is the work worth doing.

Good lawyers reaching their potential is the point. Helping them get there is part of why Dave started Lawlux, and it is work he loves. So we invest in the skills many firms miss. Every Lawlux lawyer trains in tools from acceptance and commitment therapy for handling pressure, design thinking for solving client problems, and the hospitality that makes clients feel looked after.

02Time

No billable targets. No six minute units.

You keep a light record of time against each Reassure plan. It is a planning tool, not a target. Nobody measures your worth in six minute units.

03Timing

The status quo carries the highest risk

Most lawyers treat leaving as the gamble and staying as the safe play. But we feel a loss about twice as sharply as an equal gain,2 so we cling to the status quo, even when it is costing us.3 In a profession being reshaped by AI, another few years in the same chair is not the safe option. It is the risk. The lawyers who move early are the ones who keep a say in their future.
