Job summary

SME Careers is seeking an experienced Attorney/Lawyer SME to review AI-generated legal outputs and craft expert legal content. You will assess reasoning quality, identify errors, fact-check concepts, and draft high-quality explanations and model answers.

This is a remote, hourly contractor role with opportunities for future projects through our expert network. The role requires 5+ years of practice, JD/LLB, active bar eligibility, and strong English proficiency (C1).

Qualifications

JD/LLB (or equivalent law degree) and active bar membership (or eligibility) in at least one jurisdiction.
5+ years of professional experience practicing law (law firm, in-house, government, or legal aid).
Strong ability to perform issue spotting and structured legal analysis (rules → application → conclusion), including identifying assumptions and uncertainty.
Demonstrated experience in one or more practice areas (e.g., commercial/contracts, employment, privacy, corporate, litigation, IP, real estate, compliance).
Strong research skills: locating and synthesizing primary authority (statutes, regulations, cases) and accurately characterizing holdings.
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.

Responsibilities

Develop AI Training Content: Create detailed prompts and gold-standard legal outputs (issue analyses, drafting examples, checklists, policies, and memos).
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.
