If you take a look at the recruitment page of Latham & Watkins and search for roles that relate to AI, it paints a picture of how much the legal world has changed. In 2016, many firms didn’t even have a staff member with the word ‘Innovation’ in their title, let alone someone with ‘AI’ listed as a key element of their job description.

In fact, even as recently as 2023, some of the below roles may not have existed in quite the same way. How the world has changed since genAI became ubiquitous…!

So, to give a taste of what one of the largest law firms in the world is hiring for today – and how much they’re paying for those roles – AL is sharing a small sample of some of the jobs currently on offer. Of course, please note: this site is not advertising these roles, and they are re-shared here purely to widen the market’s knowledge in general. Job descriptions have been shortened to save space also.
