Who we are

Alecto is the UK's first AI-native law firm.

Our mission is to make the law accessible to everyone on the planet. We believe that the quality of service currently offered by the legal profession is woefully inadequate. It delivers bad value for money, frustrates the people it exists to serve, and lacks basic accountability.

We believe that a law firm should:

• Speak in language people actually understand.

• Equip people to make informed decisions on the issues that matter to them.

• Provide an empathetic, proactive service aligned with people's end goals, not billable hours.

We're starting with conveyancing; the legal service that consumers are most likely to need, and the one most desperately in need of change. Conveyancing today is slow, opaque, and failing. One in three property transactions fall through, complaints run 3.3x higher than any other legal sector, and many firms still rely on post and fax. We're working hard to change that.

Backed by Firstminute Capital and a strong group of angel investors, we’re led by a founder who built and scaled Gen H, a fintech mortgage lender, to £1bn in annual lending and £5bn in financing. That hands-on experience in regulated financial services gives us a clear path to disrupt a fragmented £2.5 billion market. Our ambition is to build a full-service, AI-first law firm with global reach.

The Role

We're hiring qualified residential conveyancers of all experience levels to manage purchase and sale transactions in England & Wales.

You’ll be expected to manage high-volume caseloads while delivering outstanding legal work and customer service. You'll work with proprietary AI tools that handle routine tasks, freeing you to focus on complex legal issues and client relationships.

• Location: Work from home as standard, with the option to work from our London office.

• Hours: Manage your own hours so long as you make yourself available for your clients and attend key company meetings.

• Reports to: Head of Legal Practice or Team Lead.

What to Expect

• Real impact: Improve the way people navigate some of life’s most important moments.

• Ownership: You'll have real responsibility from day one.

• High standards: We don't compromise on quality. You'll have support from technology and colleagues, but we expect excellence.

• Fast pace: We move quickly. Our technology evolves rapidly. You'll need to adapt and embrace continuous improvement.

• Transparent assessment: Your performance will be measured across quality of legal work, customer satisfaction scores, transaction speed, and case volume. All metrics are clearly defined and tracked.

• Direct feedback: You'll get thoughtful feedback regularly, with monthly performance reviews.

• Career progression: Advancement and pay increases are based entirely on results delivered, not tenure or other attributes.

Who Thrives Here

We’d love to talk to you if you’re:

• Relentless: You're never satisfied with good enough. You push yourself to improve constantly, and you measure your progress.

• Uncompromising: You have incredibly high standards. You sweat the details. You take pride in your work even when no one's watching. You speak up when standards slip.

• Accountable: You own outcomes. You fix problems rather than waiting for someone else to. You want to be measured on your impact.

• Humble: Low ego. Self-critical. Open to feedback. You change your mind with new information. You give honest feedback directly and kindly.

• Optimistic: You approach problems as solvable. You find opportunity in challenges. You energise and elevate the people around you.

And you believe that

• Consumers deserve much higher quality service than the conveyancing industry delivers today.

• Technology is essential to doing better, not a threat to the profession.

• Change is coming and carries huge potential with it.
