Legal Content Specialist

The Legal Content Specialist plays a central role in developing, maintaining, and improving the legal content that powers LEAP Canada's legal software. This position combines hands-on legal research with quality assurance and form review responsibilities, ensuring that LEAP's legal content—including automated court and government forms, AI prompts for drafting, and content tools—is accurate, compliant, and practical for day-to-day use by legal professionals.

A key feature of this role is the opportunity to work directly on emerging legal technology initiatives. Legal Content Specialists contribute to the creation of AI-driven prompts, templates, and tools within LEAP Content, gaining valuable experience at the intersection of law and artificial intelligence. This provides a meaningful edge for candidates looking to build expertise in the rapidly evolving legal technology space.

This is a content-focused, non-firm role that offers an alternative career path for experienced law clerks and paralegals. There are no billable targets or client file pressures—instead, the focus is on delivering high-quality legal content that supports thousands of practitioners across Canada.

The role is ideal for a paralegal or law clerk with 2–4 years of experience who enjoys legal research, document preparation, process improvement, and working closely with technology-driven teams. The Legal Content Specialist will work collaboratively with internal stakeholders and users to translate legal requirements into high-quality, scalable content
