Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Build, test, and maintain automated legal document templates using conditional logic to handle complex estate planning scenarios. Collaborate with attorneys and product teams to ensure document accuracy, compliance, and maintainability.
Requires 2–4 years of hands-on experience in legal document automation and proficiency in HTML and JavaScript. Candidates must possess exceptional attention to detail and the ability to translate complex legal language into dynamic templates.
About NetLaw
NetLaw is a tech-enabled estate planning platform serving wealth management firms through an MSO structure. We power the estate planning services of an affiliated law firm, Hargrove Firm, with attorneys across 50 states delivering estate plans for the $1–50M wealth segment. We've grown 210% in the past year, are backed by institutional capital, and count multiple top 10 wealth management firms among our partners.
About the Role
We're looking for a Legal Document Automation Developer to join our team of document automation experts working on NetLaw's legal product.
In this role, you'll build and maintain automated legal document templates—including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other estate planning instruments—using sophisticated conditional logic to transform complex legal language into intelligent, dynamic documents.
Important: This is not a general legal assistant, paralegal, or software engineering role. We are specifically seeking professionals who have personally built automated legal document templates using document automation platforms. Experience preparing legal documents alone is not sufficient.
This is meticulous, high-stakes work. The documents you automate are legally binding instruments that protect families and their legacies. A misplaced clause, a broken condition, or an incorrect variable isn't a minor bug — it's a real-world consequence. You'll thrive here if you find deep satisfaction in getting every detail exactly right.
Success in this role depends on experience—not just familiarity—with legal document automation. We are looking for candidates who have personally built and maintained production templates containing sophisticated conditional logic, tested numerous client scenarios, debugged template behavior, and worked closely with attorneys to translate legal requirements into reliable automated documents. If your experience is limited to preparing legal documents or using document automation software as an end user, this position is unlikely to be the right fit.

Who Thrives Here
You're the kind of person who reads the fine print — and enjoys it. You take ownership of your work, hold yourself to a high standard of accuracy, and understand that in legal technology, "close enough" is never good enough. You're self-directed but not siloed: you know when to push through a problem on your own and when to raise your hand and ask. You're excited by the intersection of law and technology, and you want your work to have real impact on real families.
Why NetLaw
Interview Process
Qualified candidates will complete a brief practical exercise focused on legal document automation and conditional logic. The exercise reflects the type of work performed in this role and is intended to evaluate real-world problem-solving rather than memorized interview questions.
The practical exercise is designed around the types of problems you'll solve in this role. No estate planning expertise is required beyond the experience outlined in this posting.
NetLaw is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
