Key skills for this role
Building on our continued success, our innovative and growing Osborne Clarke Solutions (OCS) team is looking for a Solutions Architect to join us in Bristol or London.
This role will have a primary focus on exploring and piloting the use of AI technologies, data integrations, orchestration layers and emerging platforms to enhance the delivery of legal services, working closely with ITS, Change, and Risk & Compliance teams to pursue better ways of working. The role carries a strong R&D focus, collaborating with OCS and ITS leads to identify, evaluate and implement new AI tools, data integration solutions (including Boomi and MCPs), and to explore how platforms such as PowerApps and CoPilot can be leveraged within our existing technology stack.
We currently operate a hybrid working model, enabling us to benefit from both home and office working.
Osborne Clarke's Solutions team plays a crucial role in helping clients explore exactly how they would like legal and related services to be delivered to maximise the value to their businesses. The team is client led, developing new products and services to deliver existing services better, and to deliver entirely new services to meet growing client needs. The team operates out of the UK and Europe, with teams of ex-lawyers, and technologists across locations.
Our Solutions programme has two key goals. First, to make sure we're responding to client demands for greater value, efficiency and certainty from their lawyers, whilst maintaining the highest quality. Secondly, in helping us bring innovative ideas to the delivery of our, or our clients', current and new, services. A significant and growing part of this innovation involves researching, piloting and integrating AI technologies to transform how we deliver legal services across the firm.
We want to ensure our lawyers have the best products and resources needed to provide the best possible service to our clients.
