About this role

From the Mercor listing

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.

Requirements

  • Must be eligible to work in Remote
  • Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
  • Reliable high-speed internet connection
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
  • Demonstrated expertise in Legal

Common questions

Is Mercor for freelancers or full-time contractors?

Mercor places you with one client for a defined engagement, like 'Python Tutor for 3 months', rather than having you grab small tasks from a shared queue. Most roles function as steady contract work, not one-off gigs.

Does Mercor's application require an on-camera interview?

Yes, every applicant records a video interview with an AI interviewer that asks questions about your resume. Clients review that recording to judge communication skills before matching, so there's no way to apply without going on camera.

Why do these AI training roles pay so much?

Because general knowledge isn't what's being tested. The model already knows the basics; what it needs is expertise on edge cases, the rare, difficult, highly technical judgment calls only a senior professional in the field would make correctly.

What does the day-to-day workload look like for elite-expert AI training roles?

Slow and deep, not fast and repetitive. A single task can take 45-60 minutes of researching citations or verifying complex calculations. Quality is what's being measured here, not throughput.

What does Legal work look like for a Law Experts?

Tasks here are scoped to Legal, not generic labeling. As a Law Experts, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Legal) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Legal background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.

What specific skills does this listing call for?

AI Training is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening process to test for it directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.

How many hours per week does this role require?

Based on the listing, this role is scoped at about 20 hours per week. Treat this as a real commitment expectation, not a loose estimate.

How much does this specific role pay?

This listing is posted at $110–$150/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.

What happens when I click Apply on this listing?

You'll be taken to Mercor's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.

How soon will I start working after applying to Mercor?

Not immediately. Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue, so applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You start working only once a specific client, like a major AI lab, selects your profile, and that matching process can take weeks.
