## Job description

## About Norm Ai

Norm Ai, the agentic law company, has a client base with a combined $30 trillion in assets under management.

Norm Ai pioneered Legal Engineering, the process that empowers lawyers to build and supervise domain-specific AI agents with Norm’s proprietary suite of no-code software tools. Norm Ai technology is deployed inside many of the largest and most consequential institutions in the world.

Norm Ai is also the technology behind Norm Law, LLP, a separate but affiliated AI-native law firm built for the era of agentic AI. Norm Law’s attorneys advise leading institutions across private funds, private equity, venture capital, real estate, registered funds, and financial regulation, using the same legal intelligence platform that powers Norm Ai’s products.

AI Fluency: Norm Ai expects all team members to be fluent in AI. Successful candidates actively use AI in their day-to-day work to support thinking, creation, and problem-solving. They use it to improve the quality and speed of their work and to continuously refine how work gets done end-to-end.

Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their AI usage throughout the interview process, including concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes. We look for practical, hands-on experience, not theoretical familiarity.

## THIS ROLE

As a Commercial Contracts Associate (NDA), you will work on a high impact team that provides important services to Norm Law’s clients, while using AI agents to streamline the drafting, review, and execution process in providing non-disclosure agreement review for clients. You’ll collaborate closely with partners, clients, and technology teams to deliver efficient, precise, and data-driven legal services for in-house legal teams of leading asset managers.

Our practice embraces the use of AI to reduce burden and increase your ability to focus on strategic legal judgment and client engagement.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Document Drafting & Review: Leverage AI agents to generate, compare, and redline NDAs tailored to client guidelines
- Incorporating Legal Context: Work with clients to advise them on their NDA playbooks and provide guidance on market standards, including ensuring AI agents understand each client’s specific context.
- NDA Execution: Integrate AI agents into workflow management, execution, negotiation, and coordination with counterparties for any NDAs.
- Client Advisory: Partner with clients to demonstrate how AI-assisted workflows improve accuracy, transparency, and velocity.
- Collaboration with Tech: Work closely with the technology teams to continue to make the NDA review process even more efficient using AI.

## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

## CORE QUALIFICATIONS

- Qualified solicitor admitted in England and Wales, with a current Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) practising certificate.
- 3-6 years of experience reviewing NDAs or similar agreements.
- Strong drafting and communication skills; meticulous attention to detail.
- Interest in applying technology to enhance traditional deal workflows.

## WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- 30 Days: Learn firm AI platforms; begin supporting the commercial contracts team using AI-enabled review and drafting.
- 60 Days: Independently manage discrete components of NDA review with AI support.
- 90 Days: Lead AI-augmented workstreams in live NDA reviews, improving efficiency and accuracy in document management and execution processes.

## BENEFITS

Benefits: pension plan with an employer contribution, medical and dental insurance coverage, employee referral bonus program, initial 2 week onboarding in the US.

## WORK LOCATION

Location: Central London

Work model: Hybrid

In-office expectation: 4-5 days per week

## WHY JOIN NORM LAW

You’ll be part of the founding UK team bringing a proven US category leader to a receptive UK market. You’ll have autonomy, visibility, and the opportunity to build meaningful relationships — backed by a world-class product, an experienced executive team, and a growing global reputation.
