The job description

Role Title: Lawyer

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is selecting Lawyers to contribute valuable legal expertise to a customer’s project focused on reviewing and drafting legal documents. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. Contributors will focus on analyzing sample contracts, identifying and flagging risky or problematic clauses, and providing clear, concise explanations of legal concepts for non-lawyers. All engagement data will be public or synthetic, ensuring no confidential or proprietary client information is used.

Scope of Work

Review sample or template contracts and other legal documents to assess clarity, enforceability, and risk.
Identify, analyze, and flag potentially risky or problematic clauses, providing detailed written commentary.
Draft brief memos summarizing findings, key risk areas, and suggested improvements for each document reviewed.
Conduct basic legal research using only public sources to inform document analysis and recommendations.
Translate complex legal concepts into clear, accessible language for non-lawyer audiences.
Adhere strictly to confidentiality and conflict-of-interest protocols, working exclusively with public or synthetic data.

Preferred Qualifications

Juris Doctor (JD) degree with active or lapsed bar membership in any U.S. jurisdiction.
4+ years of practice experience, with a strong focus on document-heavy legal work (e.g., contracts, compliance, transactions).
Demonstrated expertise in contract drafting, review, and risk assessment.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a talent for explaining legal concepts to diverse audiences.
Meticulous attention to detail and a methodical approach to legal analysis.
Proven commitment to confidentiality and careful management of conflicts of interest.
Experience working with or interest in technology, AI, or legal operations is a plus.
