The posting

About Dwelly

Dwelly is building the AI operating system for residential lettings. Its growing network of agencies provides its AI with real-world data, continuous feedback, and control over complete workflows, making exceptional service the standard for landlords and tenants. Today, Dwelly operates more than 15,000 properties and $470 million in GMV, making it one of the UK’s ten largest lettings operators. The company has raised $263 million.

We’re a fast-growing, product-focused company, backed by top-tier investors and led by a team with deep experience in real estate, technology, and operations

Position summary

We are looking for a talented lawyer, around 4 PQE+, with a strong private practice grounding (and, ideally, some in-house exposure) to join and help scale our legal team. You will work closely with the General Counsel as an early legal hire in an industry changing business. The role will suit a commercially-minded lawyer able to support a broad range of legal matters in a fast-paced growth environment. Familiarity with M&A is important given Dwelly's acquisition-led business model, alongside an appetite to work across the other legal matters a scaling tech business is likely to face (fundraising, AI-product roll-outs, litigation, employment, data, compliance, general commercial, and more).

Key responsibilities

  • Working with autonomy on day-to-day legal matters, while escalating and taking guidance from senior legal counsel as needed.
  • Supporting a broad mix of work — this could include assisting on fundraising, working closely with our product engineers, reviewing data and AI regulatory questions, or leading on M&A deals as part of our roll-up strategy.
  • Applying sound common sense and commercial judgement, and thinking beyond the strict legal wheelhouse to help minimise risk rather than acting as a 'gatekeeper' for what is legally possible.
  • Growing into broader responsibility over time, with genuine scope for progression and, in due course, involvement in supporting more junior members of the legal team.
  • Using AI and technology to work smarter — we expect our lawyers to actively embrace AI tools (such as Wordsmith and similar legal-AI platforms) to draft, automate and scale legal work, building reusable templates, playbooks and workflows, and using low-code/no-code and coding approaches to solve legal and operational problems rather than doing everything by hand. This hire will be responsible for all inhouse legal AI repositories platforming.

What We're Looking For

Must have:

  1. Around 4 PQE+
  2. An excellent academic and training background (UK or Australia qualified).
  3. Familiarity with M&A.

High preference to have:

  1. Hands-on experience using AI tools to create legal work product — for example, building templates, playbooks or automated workflows in a platform such as Wordsmith — and a genuine appetite for legal automation and coding.
  2. Digital product experience.
  3. In-house, tech / start-up experience.

Nice to have:

  1. Lettings law / estate agency experience.
  2. UK employment law experience.
  3. Experience outside a strict legal role (for example, leading a compliance function or contributing to operations).

Why This Role Matters

Legal sits at the core of nearly every business decision Dwelly makes — whether that's structuring new products for our customers or helping to land finance (debt and equity) to continue to drive growth. Legal plays a key part in Dwelly's growth story.

Compensation and benefits

  • Competitive salary with the potential for equity options based on performance, recognising exceptional contributions to our integration success.
  • Location: UK (hybrid)

What is it like being a Dwell-er

Feel free to check out Dwelly Core Principles. That’s about what we believe in, how we operate and make decisions.

What we offer is not a fancy office or a static workplace. Instead, this is solving one of worlds’ most complex problems in the largest consumer industry in the world (residential rentals), to improve the experience for >30% of households (>5M in the UK, and >100M including EU and US) that live in rental homes.

This is about disrupting the largest, most antiquated industry in the world, with one of the strongest operational and technical teams that exist in the UK and the EU. We work hard, and we shoot for extremely ambitious results. But we want people to be proud of what they’ve built and be able to look back and say one day “hell yeah, that was me that did it all”.

  • Customer obsession rather than competitive focus
  • Passion for invention
  • Operational excellence
  • Long-term thinking

By applying for this position, you consent to the processing and storage of your personal data for recruitment purposes for up to 365 days, in accordance with our data retention policy and applicable data protection laws.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
