About the role

We're hiring experienced legal reviewers to create rubrics and run quality control on large volumes of processed legal documents. This is a review and verification role — not drafting, not advisory.

You'll work across the full range of commercial legal document types: commercial contracts, employment and HR records, IP and technology agreements, regulatory filings, corporate records, insurance policies, financing and debt instruments, litigation files, real estate documents, and tax filings. Breadth matters far more than excellent depth in any single practice area.

What you'll do

Create rubrics to grade legal documents against that can be understood and applied by a layman

Review processed legal documents against a written QC rubric,



checking that every identifying and sensitive element has been correctly handled

Flag and categorise defects, and flag ambiguous cases for adjudication

What we're looking for

US-based, qualified lawyer with 3+ years’ post-qualification experience, ideally in-house or as a generalist commercial counsel

Comfort moving across many document types

Experience in managed document review, e-discovery, contract management, or data privacy is a strong advantage

Demonstrable precision and consistency on high-volume review work

Able to follow a written protocol closely, and to improve it
