Remote (Global) $70 – $80/hr March 26, 2026

Job description

Job Summary

Mercor is seeking Legal Workflow Experts (E-Discovery & Legal Tech) to help define and evaluate real-world workflows performed by legal professionals.

In this role, you will break down how lawyers actually use legal technology platforms in practice—going beyond surface-level features to map complete workflows across litigation, contract management, and legal operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Map end-to-end legal workflows within platforms such as Relativity, Clio, DocAssemble, and CLM systems.
  • Describe how legal data is handled across stages: ingestion, processing, review, and output.
  • Provide detailed, structured workflow breakdowns (e.g., litigation, contract review, document automation).
  • Identify decision points, edge cases, and workflow variations.
  • Evaluate expected competencies of legal professionals using these tools.
  • Produce clear, high-quality written analyses within defined timeframes.

Example Work

  • Define workflows in e-discovery tools (e.g., ingestion → processing → deduplication → review → privilege tagging → production).
  • Explain real-world legal contexts such as litigation stages, compliance workflows, and collaboration processes.

Tools & Platforms

  • Relativity (e-discovery)
  • Clio (legal practice management)
  • DocAssemble (document automation)
  • Contract Lifecycle Management tools (e.g., Ironclad, Agiloft, Icertis)

Required Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with at least one of the listed tools (multiple is a strong plus).
  • Background as a lawyer, legal operations professional, or litigation support specialist.
  • Strong understanding of legal processes (litigation, contracts, compliance).
  • Ability to articulate detailed, real-world workflows (not just features).
  • Excellent structured written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience across multiple legal tech categories (e-discovery, CLM, etc.).
  • Familiarity with legal data handling (metadata, custodians, privilege, productions).
  • Experience in legal tech implementation or process design.
  • Background working on complex or high-volume legal matters.

Contract & Payment

  • Employment Type: Contract (Freelance)
  • Location: Remote (Worldwide)
  • Pay: $70 – $80 per hour
  • Payments are made weekly via Stripe or Wise.

Note: This is an independent contractor role. Projects may vary in duration based on performance and project needs.
