We’re an AI-native company on a mission to make the law accessible to everyone. Our engineers build the platform, our lawyers bring the legal thinking and client care, and every improvement pays off twice.
Life at Alecto
Our engineering team runs on a hybrid model, built around time together in our Shoreditch office, because ideas move fastest in person. Our conveyancers work remotely, with the office open to them whenever they want it. The pace is intense and the standards are high.

Why Alecto
Legal services deliver poor value and frustrate the people they exist to serve. We’re changing that, starting with property law, on our own AI-native platform and with more demand than we can handle. We’re backed by investors who build category-defining businesses, we build flexibility into how we work, and we go beyond the minimum for our people. 1 2 3 4 5 6

Our mission and values
We don’t see ourselves as a typical law firm. We’re a tech company on a mission to transform the legal industry, starting with the legal service you’re most likely to need, and the one most in need of change.
Relentless
We’re never done getting better. We push outside our comfort zone and keep raising our own bar.
Uncompromising
High standards, no exceptions. We sweat the details and only ship work we’re proud of.
Accountable
We commit to results, not just tasks, and fix problems rather than wait for someone else to.
Humble
We listen to understand, ask for honest feedback, and change our mind when the evidence says we should.
Optimistic
We treat problems as solvable and look for the opportunity in every setback.
In their words
Three people from the team, in their own words.
Daniel BunaConveyancer · Joined 2026 Alecto is redefining the standard of care and expertise that clients can expect from their lawyer. Our technology takes on the routine work, which gives me the time to focus on what I enjoy most: giving proper advice and taking real ownership of every matter from start to finish. If you want to practise law the way it should be done, surrounded by people who hold themselves to the same high standards, this is the place to do it.
Rebecca TrotterConveyancer and Team Lead · Joined 2026 Supportive team. Brilliant technology. Real progression. Alecto is full of kind, talented people who always have each other’s backs, and working remotely never feels lonely. Good work here is noticed and rewarded, and there’s real room to grow.
RickyFounding Engineer · Joined 2025 Alecto is a great place to work if you want to be at the forefront of both technology and product. Things move very fast, requirements are yours to discover, and you’ll own the outcomes completely. The result is a positive, progressive team culture where brainstorming and experimentation happen naturally. Not for the faint-hearted, but I couldn’t recommend it more!
A day at Alecto
One idea, two teams.
- Coffee and the case boardA conveyancer, working from home, checks which cases moved overnight. The routine tasks have already been handled.
- A proper updateA call to a client explaining what happens next, not a status ping.
- Feedback to productShe flags a step that’s still done by hand.
- ShippedAn engineer in Shoreditch picks it up and ships the fix.
- Pays off twiceThe lawyer gets time back, and the client sees the difference in their portal.
