What Does a Legal Engineer Actually Do?

From eight years at White & Case to Head of Legal Engineering at Myriad AI. Anna Stárková joins CEO Ralf Schönherr to talk about a new role in law and how AI is changing the business of law.

A few years ago, hardly anyone had heard of legal engineers. Today, law firms, in-house teams and legal tech companies are all hiring them.

As AI takes over the first draft and the first pass through new regulation, someone has to connect the law with the technology and make sure people still make the final call. That’s what legal engineers do.

In this 40-minute conversation, Ralf Schonherr and Anna Stárková talk about what the role involves and how AI is changing the way lawyers work and charge for their work.

What you’ll learn

  • The role of a legal engineer: what it involves, and how it differs between law firms, in-house teams and legal tech startups.
  • From drafter to navigator: why lawyers now spend more time checking AI output than writing first drafts.
  • The pricing dilemma: why AI is pushing legal work towards fixed prices, and what AI-native law firms mean for smaller businesses.
  • Cutting through regulatory noise: where AI should stop and people take over.
  • Total Football for compliance: how AI lets each team handle compliance in its own area.
  • Training future talent: how junior lawyers will learn the job when AI writes the NDAs.

Who it’s for

Lawyers in private practice and in-house, general counsels, compliance officers and legal operations teams.
