Ride the big wave of generative AI!

LegalAgent is looking for colleagues who will, as members of an AI Native Law Firm, deliver the best legal services to our clients and build with us a law firm that defines the generative AI era.

Everything,
for the client.

What clients want from legal is speed, accuracy, and judgment that goes deep into their business. Generative AI is the first technology that can deliver all of these at once. As an AI Native Law Firm, LegalAgent has designed the way it works from scratch with AI as the premise, and responds to a large number of requests with speed. We are looking for professional attorneys who put clients first and want to deliver better legal services for them.

Requirements

Experienced attorney (bengoshi)

Compensation
JPY 1,000,000 per month+ incentive

The incentive is calculated each month using fees received, excluding consumption tax: 60% for firm-sourced matters and 70% for matters you bring in yourself. If the combined amount exceeds JPY 1,000,000, the excess is paid as an incentive.

Example
If the month's receipts consist only of JPY 2,000,000 in fees from firm-sourced matters, excluding consumption tax, 60% is JPY 1,200,000. The JPY 200,000 above the monthly base of JPY 1,000,000 is paid as an incentive, bringing your total compensation for that month to JPY 1,200,000.

Requirements
At least three years of corporate legal experience. M&A experience is welcome.
Essential mindset
The ability to act with a client-first mindset.
Working style
No side jobs. We ask for a full commitment to your work at LegalAgent.
Generative AI skills
It does not matter whether you can use it today. We will teach you everything.
Work
M&A and legal due diligence, LBO transactions, startup legal and fundraising, legal outsourcing, contract review, and general corporate matters.
How work changes

This is how AI changes the work.

01

AI does the groundwork. Attorneys make the judgment.

Contract review, legal advice, due diligence, organizing documents. AI moves the groundwork forward, and attorneys focus on conclusions, assessment, and explaining them to clients.

02

Most requests, within one business day.

By making full use of generative AI, we deliver most requests within one business day, and in some cases on the same day. We provide a new kind of legal service that is committed to our clients' growth.

03

You get to work on more matters.

When the groundwork moves faster, each attorney can take on more matters. With that much more experience, you can grow far faster than you would at other firms.

04

From everyday questions to M&A and fundraising.

You will handle a wide range of work, from day-to-day legal questions and contract review to complex matters such as M&A, LBOs and fundraising. Because AI takes on the groundwork, even a small team can take on high-quality matters head-on.

Environment

Cutting-edge AI,
for every attorney.

  • Claude Code and Codex, paid for by the firmUse the latest AI agents in your work without worrying about the cost.
  • Unlimited use of LegalAgent's own MCP and databasesDigitized books, templates and accumulated know-how, directly accessible from AI.

Message from the founder

Noriaki Asato, representative attorney of LegalAgent
Noriaki Asato, Representative Attorney

After working at Anderson Mori & Tomotsune and AZX Professionals Group, I founded LegalAgent in 2024. The first time I seriously worked with generative AI, I became convinced that legal work was about to change at its root.

LegalAgent is not a firm that added AI afterwards as an efficiency tool. As an AI Native Law Firm, we have designed how we work, how our team is organized, and how we deliver value to clients, all with AI as the premise. It is an entirely new kind of law firm. To deliver the best legal services to clients with a small number of attorneys: that is LegalAgent's mission.

We are not a finished organization. That is exactly why experienced attorneys can shape the firm with their own hands. I would like to ride this big wave together with people who bring real energy and act for their clients.
