Document Automation Specialist

NetLaw • Louisville, KY

9d • $75,000 - $85,000 • Remote

About The Position

NetLaw is seeking a Document Automation Specialist to join their team. This role involves building and maintaining automated legal document templates, such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, using conditional logic. The work requires meticulous attention to detail as the documents are legally binding instruments. The ideal candidate finds satisfaction in ensuring every detail is accurate.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of hands-on experience in legal document automation — building templates with conditional logic in platforms such as Contract Express, HotDocs, Gavel, or similar
• Working proficiency with HTML and JavaScript
• Experience working with legal documents and legal language, with a strong grasp of why precision matters in a highly regulated field
• Exceptional attention to detail — you catch the inconsistency in paragraph 47 that everyone else missed
• Ability to work independently, manage your own workload, and deliver reliably in a remote environment
• A fast learner's mindset: comfortable picking up new tools, concepts, and legal subject matter quickly
• Strong communication skills and the judgment to ask clarifying questions early rather than guessing when something is confusing or underspecified

Nice To Haves

• Exposure to estate planning documents and concepts — wills, revocable trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and related instruments
• Background as a paralegal, legal assistant, or legal technologist

Responsibilities

• Build, test, and maintain automated document templates using conditional logic to handle complex legal scenarios and jurisdiction-specific variations
• Translate attorney-drafted legal language and specifications into dynamic, logic-driven templates
• Use conditional logic to structure, style, and script document templates and related automation workflows
• Rigorously test document outputs across a wide range of input combinations to verify that every conditional path produces accurate, compliant documents
• Collaborate with attorneys, product managers, and engineers to clarify requirements — and proactively ask questions when specifications are ambiguous or incomplete
• Document your work clearly so templates remain maintainable as the product evolves
• Continuously learn new tools, automation platforms, and estate planning concepts as our product grows

Benefits

• Fully remote — work from anywhere in the U.S.
• Meaningful work — the documents you build help families protect what matters most
• A specialized, expert team — join colleagues who share your obsession with quality and your passion for legal technology
• Growth — deepen your expertise in one of the most sophisticated document automation environments in legal tech
