We're on a mission to make real estate transactions smarter, faster, and friction-free. Real estate is the world's largest asset class, yet the legal processes and tools behind it remain slow, manual, and underinvested. Lawyers must review dense documents line by line and piece together information across silos, all while clients demand faster, more transparent due diligence. That's where we come in. Orbital Copilot is the AI assistant built exclusively for commercial real estate law. Developed with former practicing real estate lawyers, it accelerates complex due diligence by up to 70% while delivering legal-grade precision. We've just raised a $60m Series B to accelerate our UK/US expansion. We're trusted by leading firms like Goodwin and BCLP to remove the busywork so legal teams can focus on what they do best: applying sharp legal judgment, delivering standout client service, and getting deals over the line faster. Working at Orbital means joining a team that's reimagining how real estate transactions get done - moving fast, working collaboratively, and giving people the ownership to make a real impact from day one.

Own the Process: Drive the entire development lifecycle-concept to production-taking ownership of projects and the opportunity to see your ideas come to life. Collaborate for Innovation: Work closely with diverse teams-product, AI Engineering, Product Design and Legal Engineering-to bring creative solutions to market that perfectly align with business goals. Champion Excellence: Lead efforts to continuously enhance code quality, reliability, and development processes, driving innovation through automation, testing, and best practices. Guide the Vision: Play a key role in managing the technical roadmap, where you'll balance immediate deliverables with strategic growth and cutting edge technology. Stay at the Forefront: Work with the latest frontier models including GPT 5 and Claude 3.5 across text and vision, incorporating them into our platform and constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Drive Real Impact: Ensure the scalability of our domain specific AI product, Orbital Copilot, contributing to solutions that not only meet but exceed industry standards. Ensure Secure Development Practices: Oversee and enforce secure coding practices and compliance with company information security policies, standards, and ISO 27001 requirements across the development team.

Residential Property Solicitor - Quality Led Conveyancing - Highly Regarded L500 Firm I am working with a well established and highly respected full service law firm with a strong reputation for residential property work across London. The firm is known for delivering high quality, service led conveyancing and for building long standing relationships with private individuals, families and property investors. The Residential Property team advises on a broad range of matters, including buying and selling, buy to let properties, remortgages, lease extensions and enfranchisement, shared ownership and leasehold and freehold transactions. The team prides itself on providing quality led conveyancing rather than volume driven work, with communication and client care at the heart of everything they do. The firm is now seeking to recruit a Residential Property Solicitor to join its growing team. This is an excellent opportunity to join a friendly and collaborative practice where you will handle a varied caseload and work closely with experienced Partners and senior lawyers on high quality matters. The role will involve managing your own caseload of residential property transactions, advising clients from instruction through to completion, drafting and negotiating contracts, liaising with agents, lenders and other parties in the chain, and delivering a consistently high level of client service. The firm is keen to speak with solicitors who have experience in residential conveyancing, a strong technical foundation and a genuine commitment to quality and client care. You will be a confident communicator, well organised and keen to develop your career within a supportive and progressive environment. A competitive salary and attractive benefits package is on offer, together with clear long term progression and a positive, collegiate culture. Get in touch!
