Demonstrated experience in one or more practice areas (e.g., commercial/contracts, employment, privacy, corporate, litigation, IP, real estate, compliance).

Excellent drafting/editing skills: contracts/clauses, memos, letters, policies, pleadings (as applicable), with attention to precision and tone.
Exceptional attention to detail when fact-checking and identifying overconfident claims, missing exceptions, jurisdictional pitfalls, or procedural risks; minimum C1 English proficiency.
Comfortable evaluating answers for internal consistency, client safety, and appropriateness to context (e.g., consumer vs business, HR vs litigation).
Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
Prior experience with AI data training/annotation, legal QA, editorial review, or knowledge-management work is strongly preferred.

Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI responses to improve correctness, clarity, defensibility, and risk awareness.
Ensure Model Integrity: Test AI outputs for inaccuracies, misleading certainty, confidentiality risks, and bias; validate reliability across legal scenarios.
