Job description

We are seeking experienced Litigation Attorneys and Trial Counsel (Commercial Litigators, Trial Attorneys, or Litigation Counsel) to provide expert insight as part of a project for our AI Marketplace. No preparation required - just your real-world experience.

This is a one-time, paid, project-based interview engaged on a contract basis - not a full-time role.

Location: U.S.-based experts only

Engagement: One-time, project-based interview

Work Type: Remote

Estimated rate: $175/hr (prorated for the 45-minute task)

What You'll Do

You’ll complete a ~45-minute recorded AI-led video interview where you explain how you actually do your work in practice.

This interview will focus on:

• How you assess case merits, develop legal theories, and set litigation strategy
• How you gather evidence, manage discovery, and build the factual record
• How you draft pleadings, motions, briefs, appeals, and court filings
• How you negotiate settlements and prepare for hearings or trial

You will be asked to explain workflows specifically within: case intake, merits assessment, factual development, discovery, pleading and motion practice, settlement, hearing, and trial.

You should only apply if you can confidently walk through these areas step-by-step based on your own experience and respond to AI-led interview questions with depth, clarity, and real-world examples.

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years in civil, commercial, regulatory, or other contested legal matters
• Direct, hands‑on experience in case intake, merits assessment, factual development, discovery, pleading and motion practice, settlement, hearing, and trial
• Experience making or influencing decisions related to claims and defenses, legal strategy, discovery scope, evidentiary significance, settlement posture, filing approval, and trial presentation
• Familiarity with tools such as: legal research platforms, document and matter-management systems, e‑discovery platforms, litigation hold tools, court e‑filing systems, calendaring, and secure collaboration tools
• Strong ability to clearly explain workflows, decisions, and reasoning
• Experience owning or directly executing these workflows in a real production environment
• Experience working in a relevant cross‑functional environment

About the Interview

The interview is designed to elicit step-by-step explanations of real workflows and decision-making processes, with an emphasis on detailed, experience-based responses rather than high-level summaries.

This is a project-based engagement. Selected participants will be paid for completing a recorded AI-led video interview; hourly rates are estimates based upon anticipated time of completion. Participants will control their own schedule, provide their own tools to complete the interview, and may participate in other opportunities as they choose.

Once you complete the interview, we’ll send your video recording and transcript, along with AI-generated insights, to the internal research team and AI lab partner. This data will be used to generate a structured list of tasks associated with your profession and for AI model improvement.
