Law Experts

Role Overview

• Mercor is seeking senior legal professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in Fortune 500 legal contexts.

• The workflows are calibrated to the regulatory complexity, transaction scale, and risk posture of Fortune 500 and large public companies.

• Contributors design realistic enterprise legal scenarios, draft model-grade reference work, and write rubrics that distinguish strong legal reasoning from surface-level output.

Key Responsibilities

• Construct enterprise legal scenarios across in-house counsel, regulatory, transactional, and litigation work for F500-scale organizations.

• Draft and review materials grounded in enterprise compliance regimes (FCPA, SOX, GDPR, HIPAA, sector-specific regulation in banking, healthcare, pharma, and insurance).

• Build tasks around enterprise contracting at material scale (MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, licensing) and M&A diligence for F500 transactions.

• Develop ERM and COSO-aligned risk scenarios, board-level reporting, and regulated-industry investigations.

• Author detailed, criterion-referenced rubrics that capture the judgment a senior F500 lawyer would apply.

Ideal Qualifications

• 2+ years as in-house counsel at a Fortune 500 or large public company, or as a partner / senior associate at an AmLaw 100 firm representing F500 clients.

• Deep exposure to one or more enterprise practice areas: M&A, securities, regulatory, employment, IP, privacy, or commercial contracting at F500 scale.

• Familiarity with CLM platforms (Ironclad, Agiloft, Icertis) and enterprise GRC tooling.

• JD with active bar admission. Prior rubric, exam, or training-content authorship is a plus.

Compensation Note

• Hourly Pay: $110 to $150 per hour, set by Mercor based on demonstrated expertise.

• Minimum Commitment: 20 hours per week.

• Onboarding via the Mercor Rubric Academy, a paid program that calibrates contributors to the quality bar before live work.

• Advancement: strong contributors move into reviewer, lead, and domain SME roles with elevated rates.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
