About the company

Definely is a London-based legal tech company building AI-powered tools that help legal professionals draft, review and navigate contracts inside Microsoft Word. The company says Definely was founded in September 2017 by Nnamdi Emelifeonwu and Feargus MacDaeid, who previously worked together at Freshfields. Definely announced a $30m Series B in June 2025 and stated the team was 84 employees at that point, with a projection to pass 100 later in 2025.

Locations and presence

Definely lists London, England as headquarters and the careers page references a City of London office (Aldgate Tower, E1). Current role advertising also includes US-based commercial roles, alongside London and UK-wide postings.

Palpable Score

57.0

/ 100

Definely offers a real early-career on-ramp through repeat internship cohorts and some entry-level commercial hiring, backed by visible benefits and training support. The score is capped because most live openings still skew mid to senior, salary transparency is inconsistent, and there is limited public evidence on junior progression outcomes.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company runs a recurring Summer Internship Programme with published cohorts (including 2021 and 2024).
Definely has advertised paid intern roles in AI and commercial functions, which creates a genuine first-step route into legal tech.
The company’s live roles list is weighted toward senior engineering and experienced commercial hires, so 0–3 year access is not consistent across functions.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13.0

/ 20

The company has multiple interview accounts describing a structured multi-round process that includes recruiter screening and leadership interviews.
Definely has at least one role write-up that is specific about day-to-day responsibilities and required background, which helps candidates self-select and avoid mismatched “mystery” roles.
The company has candidate feedback that ranges from positive to negative, suggesting the experience can vary by role and interviewer.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.0

/ 20

The company includes “Training & Support” as a stated benefit and links learning support to courses and seminars.
Definely’s internship materials describe shadowing, exposure to senior team members, and being encouraged to ask questions during live work.
The company does not publicly spell out onboarding steps, buddying, or review cadence for early-career hires outside the internship context.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company lists stability basics like pension contribution and a 25-day holiday allowance (plus bank holidays).
Definely has public pay signals through salary reporting for multiple roles and mentions of an annual bonus, but the transparency is not consistent across every job ad.
The company has employee feedback that salaries can be on the lower end for the market, even with bonus and benefits.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company has a moderate volume of employee reviews with a strong overall rating and a high “recommend” signal, which supports a healthy baseline experience.
Definely has mixed signals on management quality in reviews, which increases the risk that early-career outcomes depend heavily on team placement.
The company’s LinkedIn footprint shows continued hiring activity, but public evidence of junior-to-mid promotions, cohort retention, or time-to-progression is limited.
