• Minimum of 2 years in the funds department of a corporate law firm.
• Familiarity with standard M&A agreements, including LPA’s, subscription agreements, and side letters.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with meticulous attention to detail.
• Strong analytical capabilities and ability to translate legal expertise into actionable feedback for AI systems.

• You will help define how AI is developed for a new generation of legal practitioners.
• You will apply your experience in a high-impact research environment.

Compensation Structure:

• Compensation is task-based, meaning experts are paid per completed task that meets the project specifications. The average handling time (AHT) is approximately 3.5 hours per task, and the effective hourly rate will depend on the number of tasks completed and successfully signed off.

This is a 100% remote contract role, open to applicants worldwide in the countries the employer accepts.
