In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as an Attorney / Lawyer Subject Matter Expert (SME) to review AI-generated legal responses and/or create expert legal content, evaluating reasoning quality and step-by-step issue analysis while providing precise written feedback. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in legal reasoning, rule application, procedural steps, and risk/assumption handling; fact-check legal concepts and (when required) citations; write high-quality explanations and model answers that demonstrate correct legal analysis and clear communication; and rate and compare multiple responses based on correctness and reasoning quality.

• Demonstrated experience in one or more practice areas (e.g., commercial/contracts, employment, privacy, corporate, litigation, IP, real estate, compliance).
• Strong research skills: locating and synthesizing primary authority (statutes, regulations, cases) and accurately characterizing holdings.

• Exceptional attention to detail when fact-checking and identifying overconfident claims, missing exceptions, jurisdictional pitfalls, or procedural risks; minimum C1 English proficiency.
