We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About JLL Technologies" and "What you'll do", "What you bring", "What we offer". Also location, team, reports to maybe as metadata. We should not repeat job title. No Job ID. We need headings using

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: About JLL Technologies (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About JLL Technologies" is about the team). Could map to "About the role" or maybe "About JLL Technologies". The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings if content matches. Let's map: - About the role: could include description of opportunity, team, location, reports to, what the role entails? Might be better to put "About the role" with overview: The opportunity ... etc. - Responsibilities: corresponds to "What you'll do". - Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: "What you bring" includes required and nice-to-have. We could split: Requirements (must-have) and Qualifications (nice-to-have) or Skills. But we should not create thin sections. Perhaps combine into one "Requirements" section covering both required and nice-to-have? But instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. Pay and Schedule not mentioned (no specific salary numbers, just "Competitive salary based on experience" - that's vague; we should not create Pay section because it's not specific? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits are stated: "Comprehensive benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance, and a 401(k) with company match." So we can include Benefits. Pay: "Competitive salary based on experience." That's somewhat generic but still states salary is competitive based on experience. Is that enough to create Pay section? The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. "Competitive salary based on experience" is somewhat vague but it's a statement. Might be considered not specific enough? It's not a placeholder like "commensurate with experience" which is similar. I'd lean to not include Pay section because it's not specific. Benefits we have specific items. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to include location, team, reports to maybe in About the role paragraph. Let's extract content: Team: JLL Technologies Legal Location: Chicago, IL — JLL's Aon Center offices, 200 E. Randolph Street Reports to: General Counsel, JLL Technologies Opportunity paragraph: "Contract review used to mean one lawyer reading against another. Increasingly, it means one AI-assisted lawyer against another, and the advantage goes to whoever exercises better judgment, not whoever reads faster. We're looking for a Legal Counsel who wants to help build that advantage at JLL Technologies: someone entrepreneurial enough to help define how our legal team uses AI, and grounded enough to know when the AI's answer isn't the right one. We want this person embedded in the business, using that AI-sharpened judgment to earn a seat at the table. You'd be joining a robust legal team that already runs sophisticated technology and venture transactions for a Fortune 200 platform. This role adds a capability with technology staffing. Contract negotiation is changing across the legal industry. Lawyers on both sides of a deal increasingly use AI to draft, review, and redline, so the differentiator is no longer who reads the document first. It's who catches what the AI missed, weighs a risk it can't weigh, or makes a call it isn't equipped to make. You'll join JLL's legal team in making that shift deliberately: building on JLL's existing Responsible AI governance, which sets out principles on fairness, accountability, privacy, and security, to develop practical guidance for how JLL's lawyers and business teams use AI responsibly, and helping redesign how contracts actually get reviewed and negotiated as a result. This is a hands-on legal role and a real chance to help shape how JLL's lawyers work for years to come." About JLL Technologies paragraph: "JLL Technologies is the technology and innovation arm of JLL (NYSE: JLL), building and investing in the software, data, and AI tools that run commercial real estate. That includes SaaS products used by owners and occupiers, and JLL Spark, JLL's venture fund, which has invested in more than 50 early-stage proptech companies since 2018." What you'll do (Responsibilities) list: - Negotiate and close customer agreements for JLL's SaaS and technology-enabled products and keep pushing those agreements toward automated order forms and click-through terms where it makes sense. - Advise on AI-specific terms in vendor and customer contracts, including data use rights, model training rights, audit rights, and related indemnities. - Help build and maintain JLL Legal's guidance and protocols for using AI responsibly in contract review, drafting, and research, building on JLL's existing Responsible AI principles. - Keep clear records of AI use-case reviews and governance decisions, so the guidance holds up to scrutiny later. - Provide product counsel across JLL Technologies' buy, build, and partner model as new products launch. - Support JLL Spark, JLL's venture fund, on new and existing investments. - Build and maintain legal templates, playbooks, and AI-assisted workflows that the wider team will actually use. - Work with JLL's broader Legal and Compliance team to build shared fluency in using AI tools well, including where not to trust them, and being a subject matter expert in technology. - Partner directly with business leaders, not just review what lands in your inbox, to design processes that move faster without giving up the risk management that matters. What you bring (Requirements) list: Required: - A J.D. and membership in at least one U.S. state bar. - Meaningful experience negotiating commercial or technology contracts, at a law firm or in-house. - Good judgment, tested under real deal pressure, and the honesty to say so when something is outside your experience. - Genuine curiosity about AI. You don't need a technical background, but you should already be experimenting with AI tools, or eager to start, and comfortable learning in public. - Self-direction. We don't micromanage, and you're naturally curious about what's next. - Comfort operating as a business partner who's in the room where decisions get made. Nice to have: - Experience in SaaS, software, or proptech. - Familiarity with data privacy laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA, or related credentials such as the IAPP's CIPP. - Familiarity with the emerging AI regulatory landscape, such as the EU AI Act or evolving U.S. state AI laws, or related credentials such as the IAPP's AI Governance Professional (AIGP). - Exposure to legal tech workflows or hands-on use of AI tools in a legal setting. What we offer (Benefits) list: - We're committed to training you. If you haven't used AI in your legal work before, we'll teach you. If you have, we'll give you room to push further. - You'll get direct mentorship from JLL Technologies' General Counsel, hands on exposure to how a global commercial real estate company runs its legal function, and the latitude to help write the playbook rather than just follow one. - Competitive salary based on experience. - Comprehensive benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance, and a 401(k) with company match. - Professional development, mentoring, and training as part of a global legal team. We need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences. We'll structure:

    About the role

    ... combine team, location, reports to, opportunity paragraph, about JLL Technologies maybe also in this section? Could split but we want few sections. Could include all overview in About the role. Then

    Responsibilities

    • ... each duty
    Then

    Requirements

    • ... required items
    Maybe also include nice-to-have as part of same list? Could separate but that would be another section. To keep few sections, we can include both required and nice-to-have in same list, maybe with a note? But we must preserve all info; we can include both as list items, maybe differentiate with phrasing. That's okay. Then

    Benefits

    • ... benefits items
    We should not include Pay or Schedule. Make sure to preserve all substantive information: include location, team, reports to, opportunity text, about JLL technologies, responsibilities list, requirements list (both required and nice-to-have), benefits list. We need to ensure we don't lose any detail: e.g., "Fortune 200 platform", "JLL Spark, JLL's venture fund, which has invested in more than 50 early-stage proptech companies since 2018." etc. Let's craft About the role paragraph: We can combine:
