This role focuses on creating practical review rubrics and performing quality control across a broad range of processed legal documents. The work is centred on review and verification rather than legal drafting or advisory services, with particular emphasis on accuracy, consistency, sensitive-information handling, and structured defect identification.

Real Estate & Tax Documentation

• Review real estate agreements and property-related legal documents
• Assess tax filings and related records
• Apply established QC protocols across specialised document categories
• Identify sensitive or identifying elements requiring particular attention
• Maintain consistency despite variation in document format and subject matter

Rubric Development

• Create clear rubrics for evaluating legal documents
• Translate legal review requirements into criteria that can be understood and applied by non-lawyers
• Define practical defect categories and review standards
• Refine rubrics based on recurring issues or ambiguous cases
• Help improve consistency across high-volume document-review workflows

Quality Control & Defect Classification

• Flag and categorise defects identified during document review
• Distinguish substantive processing issues from minor inconsistencies
• Follow written QC protocols closely
• Maintain high levels of accuracy and consistency across repeated review tasks
• Contribute improvements to existing review procedures where appropriate

Ideal Profile

• U.S.-based qualified lawyer
• 3+ years of post-qualification legal experience
• Background as an in-house lawyer, commercial counsel, or generalist legal practitioner is particularly relevant
• Comfortable working across a broad range of commercial legal document types
• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain accuracy in high-volume review work
• Able to follow detailed written protocols consistently
• Strong judgement when identifying and escalating ambiguous legal-document issues
• Experience in managed document review, e-discovery, contract management, or data privacy is highly advantageous
• Demonstrated ability to improve review protocols and quality-control processes
• Broad legal experience is more important than deep specialisation in a single practice area

Engagement Details
