Purpose : We are seeking a highly experienced Litigation lawyer consultant to serve as a consultant on AI training data projects for leading AI model builders and enterprises. Your focus will be to define success criteria, review outputs, and provide targeted guidance to improve quality and speed — directly contributing to the successful delivery of domain‑specific annotated datasets that meet the highest technical standards. You will be engaged on specific projects with clearly defined deliverables, milestones, and end dates.

Responsibilities

  • Define domain‑specific quality success metrics.
  • Develop project‑specific SOPs, QA rubrics, and reference materials for the specific purpose of meeting client technical standards.
  • Review project outputs against technical standards, flagging and correcting defects before client delivery.
  • Perform structured QA passes on legal annotation projects; flag, track, and resolve defects quickly to hit delivery deadlines.
  • Return files to contractors with precise remediation notes.
  • Provide advisory input on legal research tools, document review workflows, and compliance requirements.
  • Handle spec changes and edge‑case scenarios — e.g., interpretation of ambiguous clauses — drafting acceptance criteria or workarounds.
  • Curate example libraries of “gold standard” legal references for calibration and comparability to agreed sample references.

Additional Project Support

  • Advise on technical scoping and requirements during project setup.
  • Provide expert guidance for edge cases, technical exceptions, and specification changes.
  • Contribute to post‑project reviews to capture lessons learned and improve future standards.
  • Identify and summarize client model observations and insights.
  • Build dashboards or trackers with defect categories and recurrence to surface production insights that improve project outcomes.
  • Conduct post‑mortems, analyze defect trends, and propose process tweaks or training refreshers.
  • Talent Vetting & Output Improvement

  • Participate in vetting and assessing technical contractor talent for specific projects.
  • Review sample work from contractors and provide precise, actionable written feedback to improve outputs.
  • Create targeted training or calibration resources e.g., legal annotation guidelines, compliance checklists.
  • Target Profile

  • Bachelor of Law and 5+ years professional experience as a licensed attorney in relevant jurisdiction(s).
  • Proven ability to set, enforce, and maintain high technical standards in legal review.
  • Strong communication skills for delivering clear technical guidance.
  • Experience producing technical documentation, quality rubrics, or training resources.
  • Ability to work within fixed project timelines and scope.
  • Strong attention to detail, documentation discipline, and commitment to accuracy and consistency.
  • Fluency in spoken and written English, with clear and concise writing skills.
  • Example Data Annotation – Potential Scope

  • Constitutional Law : Legal interpretation, judicial precedent analysis
  • International Law : Treaty interpretation, UN / EU policy navigation
  • Human Rights Law : Case comparison, international convention alignment
  • Corporate / Commercial Law : Contract drafting support, due diligence review
  • Criminal Law : Case law analysis, legal argument generation
  • Environmental Law : Regulatory compliance interpretation, policy summarization
  • Intellectual Property Law : Patent parsing, copyright classification, IP rights mapping
  • Technology / Data Law : GDPR compliance modeling, data policy interpretation
  • Administrative Law : Government process simulation, regulation breakdowns
  • Legal Theory / Jurisprudence : Philosophical argument mapping, critical legal reasoning
  • Litigation / Arbitration : Argument structuring, evidence analysis, motion drafting support
  • Comparative Law : Legal system cross‑referencing, policy harmonization
  • We offer a pay range of $25‑to‑$100 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
