Endura is led by Dr Paul Burgess, a legal academic and lawyer specialising in legal technology, AI, and the rule of law. Paul brings a rare combination of practical legal experience, deep technical understanding, and regulatory awareness to questions of technology adoption in legal practice.

Before entering academia, Paul worked in small legal practice and understands first-hand the operational, financial, and professional pressures faced by sole practitioners and small firms. That experience directly informs Endura’s approach: advice is grounded in how legal work is actually done, not how it is assumed to operate in large institutional settings.

Paul is currently a Senior Lecturer at Monash University Faculty of Law, he also leads the Technology and AI Legal Education Research Lab, and is co-director of Monash’s Digital Law Group. He has led and collaborated on multiple research projects examining the design, evaluation, and governance of AI-enabled legal systems, including projects with community legal organisations and public-interest partners and frequently provides professional training with the Law Institute of Victoria.

Through Endura, Paul provides independent, non-vendor advice that bridges legal practice, technology, and professional responsibility—helping practitioners adopt tools that genuinely support their work, rather than complicate or compromise it.
