Requirements
  • Legal tech, law firm, or law operations experience is strongly preferred.
  • Domain Specialist with Vision
  • Hands-On and Delivery-Oriented
  • Consultative and Commercial
  • Technically Fluent (but Not a Developer)
  • Change-Focused and Client-Led
Responsibilities
  • Work with clients to understand their business requirements and map them to ShareDo’s platform through structured discovery and solution design.
  • Configure work types, workflows, forms, and document templates in a low-code environment, while coaching clients to develop their own configuration capabilities.
  • Lead delivery throughout the implementation lifecycle — from initial workshops to configuration, training, and go-live — ensuring timelines and estimates are met.
  • Own a specific solution area (accelerator) and be the functional expert in that domain. Use your experience to define best practice, drive innovation, and shape the future of the solution.
  • Continuously evolve and improve accelerators based on client feedback, emerging trends, and real-world implementation experience.
  • Help clients understand how ShareDo fits into their broader enterprise architecture, including integrations, data models, and system dependencies.
  • Make recommendations around data and integration architecture that support scalable, maintainable solutions.
  • Feed client and domain insight into the product roadmap, influencing core features and product strategy.
  • Support adoption and change through mentoring, training, and proactive client engagement — helping ensure solutions are not only implemented, but embraced.
  • Contribute to pre-sales efforts where required, including demos and prototype builds to showcase ShareDo’s potential.
Desired Qualifications
  • Legal tech, law firm, or law operations experience is strongly preferred.
  • You’re recognised as a subject matter expert in your field — whether that’s legal process design, insurance claims, corporate law, or another area — and you know what “great” looks like. You bring insight, depth, and a drive to keep improving.
  • You’re hands-on and delivery-oriented: comfortable getting into the detail of configuration, supporting clients directly, and taking responsibility for successful delivery.
  • You’re consultative and commercial: a confident communicator who can engage senior stakeholders, lead workshops, and balance client needs with delivery constraints. You understand how to deliver value — not just features.
  • You’re technically fluent (but not a developer): you enjoy working in a low-code environment and understand the bigger picture of system architecture and integration — even if you’re not writing the code yourself.
  • You’re change-focused and client-led: you care about outcomes and adoption, and you’re motivated by helping clients transform how they work and are comfortable supporting them through training, mentoring, and ongoing engagement.

Clio provides legal practice management software that helps law firms run more efficiently. It offers two main products: Clio Grow, which improves client intake and engagement, and Clio Manage, which organizes tasks, manages cases, handles documents, and processes payments in one integrated platform. The software is cloud-based and sold on a subscription, giving firms from solo practitioners to large firms a centralized system for intake, matter management, document handling, and billing. Clio differentiates itself by providing two interconnected products tailored to legal work, a broad feature set for the full lifecycle of a case, and a platform used across a range of firm sizes. Its goal is to reduce administrative burdens and support the growth of legal practices by streamlining operations.

Legal tech raises $6B in 2025 as AI boom creates winners and losers

Legal tech funding reached $5.99 billion in 2025, with 14 rounds exceeding $100 million, according to Raymond Blyd, CEO of LegalComplex. The sector showed extraordinary valuations and strong revenue growth for some companies, though divisions emerged within the industry. Whilst top performers flourished, others struggled. Robin AI encountered funding difficulties, and dozens of legal tech companies that raised capital between 2020 and 2023 have failed to secure additional funding since then. The figures exclude debt financing by public legal tech companies such as Wolters Kluwer and capital raised by legal tech investment funds. The AI boom has created a stark divide between well-funded market leaders and struggling competitors unable to attract further investment.

The Consultant Model: Lawyers Are Doing It For Themselves

By Sarah Murphy, Clio.For decades, the path to success in the legal profession followed a predictable trajectory: join a firm as a trainee, progress to associate, and ultimately compete for the coveted partnership position. But a quiet revolution is underway – many lawyers are stepping away from conventional practice to embrace consultant roles.According to research by LexisNexis, this movement is gaining such momentum that by 2026, up to one-third of UK lawyers could be working under consultant arrangements rather than traditional employment models. The consultant pathway particularly appeals to mid-career and senior lawyers with a specialist practice area and an established client base.Importantly, the consultant model isn’t about working less – it’s about working differently. The rise of platform law firms that provide the necessary infrastructure and compliance frameworks alongside technological advances that enable remote work and efficient practice management facilitate this transformation.What’s driving the shift?Rigid hierarchies and inflexible working arrangements in traditional firms have fuelled dissatisfaction among experienced practitioners seeking greater autonomy. The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically accelerated this trend by normalising remote work. While only 4.7% of UK employees worked from home in 2019, a recent Forbes Advisor poll revealed that 63% of respondents now work full-time or part-time remotely.Recent return-to-office mandates have heightened tensions, while technological advancements and platform law firms have removed barriers to independent practice by providing essential infrastructure without the administrative burden of solo practice.Market consolidation through mergers and acquisitions has further contributed to this trend
