Job Description

People Business Partner ABOUT US Legora is on a mission: to redefine how legal work gets done. From the very start we have been very clear about the fact that we are not building a solution for lawyers, we are building it with them, because it is the only way to make sure it gets done the right way; working side-by-side every step of the way. Our AI-native workspace empowers legal professionals not just to work faster - but to ask better questions, unlock new insights. Every day, we push the boundaries of legal tech to make complex processes smarter, faster, and more human. From thousands of documents analysed in minutes to intelligent workflows designed in collaboration with leading practices, we’re turning possibility into reality. Today we are trusted by global firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird and Linklaters in over 40 countries, but we have no plans on stopping here. We ship fast, we iterate effectively, and we scale rapidly - not by accident, but by design. When you join Legora, you become part of a team that believes "good enough" isn’t good enough and that the way to win is together, by empowering lawyers to do their best work with technology that truly understands them. If you’re excited by building from first principles, working with exceptional people, and accelerating change in a high-stakes, high-impact domain—then this is the moment and the place. WE’RE NOT JUST SHAPING THE FUTURE OF LEGAL TECH — WE’RE DEFINING IT. READY TO JOIN US IN BUILDING THE INTELLIGENT FUTURE OF LAW? As we scale across markets, complexity increases. Expectations rise, decisions carry more weight, and the margin for error narrows. With that comes responsibility - not only to move fast, but to move with discipline. As our People Business Partner, you will operate as a senior partner to leadership, safeguarding performance standards, accountability, and employment governance at Legora. You are not only the escalation point when situations become complex or high-risk: you step in early to ensure expectations are clear, decisions are consistent, and leadership accountability remains strong as we grow. We are intentionally separating Talent Acceleration from Risk & Governance to ensure scale does not compromise fairness or decision quality. While the People Enablement Partner drives hiring and team growth, you ensure that performance integrity, compliance, and governance maturity scale alongside it. In this role you will combine strong business judgment with legal precision. You will lead complex employee relations matters, advise on employment risk, shape performance and calibration standards, and strengthen the structural foundations that enable consistent and defensible decision-making. In moments of ambiguity or difficulty, you bring clarity, structure, and composure, guiding the business toward decisions that withstand scrutiny. WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING Own complex employee relations matters end-to-end, including performance improvement processes, investigations, disciplinary actions, terminations, and sensitive absence cases, ensuring fair, consistent, and defensible outcomes. Partner with leaders on performance standards, calibration, and organizational decisions, safeguarding consistency, accountability, and documentation quality across teams. Advise and guide leadership through organizational changes, restructurings, and other structural shifts, ensuring legal compliance, risk mitigation, and disciplined execution. Intervene early in performance or conduct concerns, strengthening manager capability and ensuring issues are addressed before formal escalation becomes necessary. Advise on labour law and employment risk across jurisdictions, enabling commercially sound and compliant decision-making. Strengthen scalable governance by refining ER processes, documentation standards, and structural safeguards that support disciplined growth. As we grow, you will design and strengthen scalable ER and governance proc ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
