Overview

An organization is seeking an experienced Telecom & Compliance Counsel to support a fast-growing AI-native customer service platform. This is a part-time, as-needed engagement averaging approximately 10 hours per week. The role is fully remote and open to licensed attorneys in any U.S. jurisdiction.

The platform recently launched a native voice/phone channel integrated directly into its helpdesk system. The counsel will address a defined set of compliance, contractual, and privacy issues related to this launch. This is a targeted engagement focused on telecom and VoIP regulatory matters rather than a broad in-house legal role.

Responsibilities

Draft and review Terms & Conditions and Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) language for the new voice channel, including liability allocation and transfer provisions between the platform and its voice customers.
Advise on subprocessor integration from privacy and contractual perspectives, including necessary updates to the privacy policy.
Analyze and advise on number portability obligations, including company responsibilities and structuring terms to manage liability.
Address GDPR and cross-border personally identifiable information (PII) issues arising from call recordings, focusing on EU customer data flows and applicable consent and localization requirements.
Provide guidance on TCPA and FCC compliance considerations for the voice product, including consent frameworks, recordkeeping, and carrier/platform-level obligations.
Offer practical, business-oriented advice to product, engineering, and legal teams as telecom-related compliance questions arise.
