Legal Tech Counsel

THE ROLE:

We are looking for a hands-on Legal Tech Counsel who can work at the intersection of law, AI products and commercial execution. The role works closely with the CLCO and with product, engineering, security and business teams to translate legal requirements into practical product workflows, contract positions, policies and customer-ready outputs.

Core Priorities:

1. Legal Tech & AI Product (Primary)

• Support the legal design and continuous improvement of our legal AI products, including KenAgent.

• Translate legal rules and business requirements into structured product requirements, legal workflows, review criteria, playbooks, guardrails and escalation points.

• Test and evaluate legal outputs for accuracy, source quality, jurisdiction fit and practical usefulness; identify hallucination, unsupported citation, confidentiality and over-reliance risks.

• Work with product and engineering on legal research, contract review, compliance, dispute-support and other legal workflows.

• Contribute to legal knowledge-base quality, jurisdiction mapping and validation of legal sources across the UAE, Egypt and wider GCC.

• Help define human-review, transparency, auditability and accountability controls for AI-assisted legal work. 2. Technology Transactions & Commercial Contracting (Core)

• Draft, review and negotiate SaaS, software, AI, cloud and professional-services agreements, including MSAs, Order Forms, SOWs, SLAs, DPAs, NDAs and vendor agreements.

• Handle key technology clauses including scope, acceptance/UAT, change control, service levels, IP/licensing, data use, confidentiality, security, warranties, indemnities, limitation of liability, audit, termination and exit.

• Build practical templates, clause libraries, fallback positions and contract-review playbooks that support fast and consistent execution.

• Work with commercial and delivery teams to reduce scope ambiguity, control delivery risk and maintain clear responsibility lines. 3. Privacy, Data Protection & Data Governance (Core)

• Advise on privacy and data-protection requirements affecting product, contracting and operations, with primary focus on the UAE, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

• Draft and negotiate DPAs, controller/processor clauses, data-sharing terms, sub-processor provisions and cross-border transfer language.

• Support DPIA-style assessments, privacy-by-design, retention, breach-response and data-governance questions.

• Use GDPR as an enterprise contracting reference point where relevant, while applying local legal requirements. 4. AI Governance, Cybersecurity & Trust (Supporting)

• Draft practical AI governance policies, customer addendums and internal controls covering acceptable use, transparency, human oversight, data use, logging/traceability and safe-use responsibilities.
