Requirements - JD and active admission to at least one US state bar. - At least three years of family law practice, covering divorce, custody and parenting time, child and spousal support, property division, and post-judgment matters. - Familiarity with complex issues such as jurisdiction disputes, international child abduction, protective orders, or high-asset property division. - Practical experience with legal technology, such as building workflows or templates, automating tasks, configuring case management systems, or using generative AI. - Sound judgment about which legal tasks can be automated and where attorney review is essential, especially in matters involving children or vulnerable clients. - Clear communication with both legal professionals and technical teams, plus comfort setting priorities in an evolving environment.
