Overview
This role is an Independent Contractor position within the Outsourcing department, reporting to the Manager, Senior Review Team. Work is 100% remote, scheduled in Eastern Standard Time (EST).
This position involves ownership of the final quality of every contract that is delivered. You will review a high-volume pipeline within firm turnaround windows, using an AI-assisted first pass as a starting point, applying legal judgment against the client’s playbook, and escalating items that fall outside established guidance to quality control.
Responsibilities
- Perform initial review of a high-volume pipeline of commercial agreements, specifically NDAs, master services agreements, and vendor arrangements.
- Ensure rapid turnaround and strict adherence to client-specific playbooks.
- Use the firm’s AI-powered review workflow by verifying and correcting AI-generated first-pass markups; final decisions must be based on your own legal judgment.
- Apply legal playbooks accurately and consistently, escalating anything outside established guidance to quality control rather than deciding independently.
- Identify and flag confidentiality and commercial risks within standard transactions, including spotting non-standard terms before they reach quality control.
- Maintain accurate ticket status and ensure clean handoffs across shifts to keep turnaround on track for the next reviewer or QC.
- Manage a demanding, high-volume queue in a fast-paced review environment, balancing accuracy with turnaround speed.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in legal contract review, including hands-on NDA review under US or UK law.
- Strong interest in AI and legal technology, with daily hands-on use of AI tools in your own legal work and comfort working alongside AI as part of your everyday process.
- Solid background in high-volume commercial contract review environments.
- Demonstrated ability to work accurately from detailed legal playbooks and client-specific instructions, escalating anything outside established guidance rather than deciding independently.
- Ability to operate independently in a 100% remote environment on a fixed schedule.
- Fluent written and spoken legal English, with strong command of legal terminology and language.
Preferred Qualifications
- LL.M. from a U.S. or UK institution.
