Mission


Our mission is to make legal services accessible for everyone.

The law doesn’t work. (Well, it doesn’t work for everyone.) Globally, more than 5 billion people don’t have access to legal services.

Why does this matter?

If people don’t get access to the legal help they need, they face worse outcomes in life, whether they’re negotiating with their landlord, disputing a public transport fine, or doing their tax.

At Josef, this is the problem we spend every day trying to fix. We do this through our beautifully designed no-code automation platform, empowering lawyers to transform the way they work.

The American Bar Association’s Rule of Law Initiative used Josef to develop tools to help people across the Middle East and North Africa.

Lawyers build “bots” on Josef, automating everything from drafting documents, to providing guidance and advice.

Through automation, legal teams are able to deliver their services at scale, in more efficient, convenient and affordable ways, ultimately helping more people.

These range from a tool that helps people apply for the disability support pension in Australia, to a bot that deals with gender-based violence in the Middle East and North Africa, to an automated advice bot that provides answers to FAQs in relation to unemployment benefits in NYC.

While legal aid organizations use Josef every day to help those most in need, our customers include some of the biggest law firms (like Clifford Chance and K&L Gates) and companies (like L’Oreal and Bupa) in the world, who are using Josef to save time, deliver better services, and make more money.

The most recent use cases include a bot that helps clients of a law firm decide whether they can make a defamation claim, or a suite of document automation tools for a global insurance company.

Josef is a fast-growing VC-backed startup, with offices in the EU, US and APAC. You can learn more about our story and our mission here.

Values


💟 Give a sh*t

We try to be the change we want to see in the world. That extends to both customers and our community. We care about the quality of our work. We care about the impact we have on the world. We are committed to doing our part in creating a world that’s better for everyone.

🗺 Bold and adventurous

We’re on a journey together. Our days are fast-paced, dynamic, and challenging. We don’t have to be perfect, but we give it our all and do work we’re proud of. We’re adventurous with a hunger for knowledge and an appetite to learn and grow. We show up, work together, and get it done.

🙋 Open and inclusive

An open culture is non-negotiable at Josef. No matter who we are, we’re encouraged to speak from the heart. By sharing ideas, asking questions, and offering new perspectives, we build better together. We bring our authentic selves to work every day and are supported to do our best work in a flexible environment.

😏 Make. It. Easy.

Solving legal problems is hard. We keep things simple. Simplicity is our passion, and it permeates into everything we do.

Perks & benefits


🎒 Health and wellbeing

Without health, life is not life. (Ok - that might have been a Buddha quote, but it’s just as important to us 😉.) Our teams’ physical and mental wellbeing is a top priority. In addition to a caring and supportive day-to-day work environment, we offer access to 🧘‍♀️ yoga, 🧠 meditation, and more.

🌴 Josef days

In addition to annual and personal leave, all permanent Josef team members receive an extra day off each month to do whatever they like with. Have a long weekend, do a course, go on a mid-week adventure, or just have a stay-in bed-all-day day. So many possibilities!

📚 Learning and development

Challenge and be challenged! Use your yearly allocated L&D budget to go to that conference you’ve always wanted to attend, or do that short course you’ve been eyeing off. We’re all knowledge vampires and love learning both from each other and from outside the team.

🏖️ Social events

Come hang out with us online and face-to-face. Our creative social committee organises monthly events. In the past, we’ve learned how to make real 🍕 pizza, had 🎷 jazz musicians perform live from London, and competed in an 🏃‍♂️ amazing race around Melbourne. We love hanging out!

⚖️ Flexible work

Work from home or from any WeWork office around the world! Strong collaboration (sometimes asynchronous) and trust are key in having our teams work from anywhere they like and with flexible hours. You’re a morning person? Awesome! Need to pick up kids and catch up on work later? No problems! We trust that you make your work, work.

🐣 Competitive compensation

Josef prides itself on ensuring we stay competitive and in balance with the market. Remuneration packages can consist of salary, equity, and other financial and non-financial benefits.
