About The Position

This is a fully remote, independent-contractor consulting engagement for experienced M&A attorneys from leading U.S. law firms.

No prior AI-training experience is required. Work may cover M&A analysis, private-equity and corporate-law research, transaction-document review, legal annotation, dataset refinement, and quality assurance. Assignments may involve corporate advisory matters, private equity, related litigation, and sophisticated deal structures. Project scope, workload, subject matter, and evaluation standards may evolve with project requirements. Work must not use confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, law firm, institution, or other third party. Compensation is $140–$400 per hour. The opportunity is available through 24-MAG LLC, which connects experienced professionals with remote consulting opportunities.
