Practice Innovation Counsel

EvenUp is on a mission to close the justice gap using technology and AI. We empower personal injury lawyers and victims to get the justice they deserve. Our products enable law firms to secure faster settlements, higher payouts, and better outcomes for victims injured through no fault of their own in vehicle collisions, accidents, natural disasters, and more.
We are one of the fastest-growing vertical SaaS companies in history, and we are just getting started. EvenUp is backed by top VCs, including Bessemer Venture Partners, Bain Capital Ventures, SignalFire, and Lightspeed. We are looking to expand our team with talented, driven, and collaborative individuals who seek to have a lasting impact. Learn more at www.evenuplaw.com .
We are seeking an exceptional lawyer to join our Knowledge Management & Applied Research Team as a Product Quality Counsel . This role does not fit neatly into a traditional box. It is part subject matter expert, part product partner, part solutions architect. You will develop deep expertise in the practice areas we serve, help translate that expertise into the systems that generate our legal work product at scale, and serve as an in-house legal resource for teams across the company.
The person who thrives here is a strong lawyer who would rather help build the system that drafts than draft the next document by hand: someone who can pick up an unfamiliar area of law quickly, reduce it to a structure a model can execute reliably, and explain that structure to engineers, product managers, and data scientists in terms they can build against.
What You'll Do:
- Help build the drafting systems behind our AI-generated work product by decomposing how an expert lawyer reasons through a document into explicit decision trees, defining what every conclusion has to be anchored to in the record, and refining that logic against real output until it holds up across cases.

- Develop working mastery in unfamiliar practice areas on short timelines , including the governing statutory and regulatory framework, procedural posture, controlling authority, evidentiary standards, and document conventions. Become the internal authority the rest of the company relies on.

- Translate legal judgment into product requirements by partnering with Product, Data Science, and Machine Learning teams to convert "what a good lawyer would do here" into specifications, taxonomies, and evaluation criteria that non-lawyers can build against.

- Maintain and expand EvenUp's knowledge base and case-specific templates , including firm and state-level customization in partnership with clients, for personal injury claims today and for additional practice areas as we expand into them.

- Conduct legal research on liability and damages nationwide, monitor statutory and common law changes, and mentor the Legal Operations Team on evolving legal standards.

- Lead quality assurance efforts through audits, benchmarking, and evaluation development to support model evaluation.

- Work directly with clients when the moment calls for it , walking a firm through how a document was built, gathering requirements firsthand, and carrying what you hear back to the team.

- Serve as an in-house legal expert for teams across the company, advising on substantive questions as they arise and surfacing risk before it reaches a client deliverable.

What We Look For:
- Active license to practice law and in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar.

- 5+ years of substantive legal experience, with real depth in personal injury litigation across multiple states: statutory and common law frameworks, first- and third-party bad faith claims involving all types of insurance coverage, and a strong grasp of recoverable damages and their limitations.

- A track record of developing mastery in more than one practice area. You have moved between substantive areas of law and can point to a time you became the person colleagues came to on an unfamiliar subject in weeks,
