Corporate/M&A Lawyer (Germany) | $140-$150/hr Remote
Overview
Mercor connects experienced corporate/M&A lawyers with a legal AI company benchmarking how well large language models answer real questions of German law. In this reviewer role, you run identical prompts through two AI platforms, compare the outputs, and score each response against a standardized rubric. The engagement is remote from Germany, starts with about 10 hours of work, and can lead to ongoing assignments. All work falls under an NDA.
What You'll Do4
- 1Run the same set of prompts on two LLM platforms
- 2Compare the model outputs side by side and identify differences in accuracy and reasoning
- 3Score every response against a standardized rubric provided for the project
- 4Submit brief written feedback for each evaluation, noting why a score was given
Requirements5
- 1A minimum of 2 years (3+ preferred) at a law firm in corporate/M&A or transactional practice
- 2Current in-house lawyers qualify only if the move happened within the last 2 years and prior work was at a firm
- 3Admission to practice law in Germany and strong knowledge of German corporate and commercial law
- 4Native or fluent German with precise written expression
- 5An independent approach to following a scoring rubric and meeting delivery deadlines
Who Should Apply
Candidates with 2-3 years of firm-side corporate/M&A experience who enjoy analytical comparison work will thrive here. The role suits someone who can apply a rubric the same way every time and write clear rationales in German. Lawyers seeking drafting or deal-execution work should skip this role, because the core task is evaluation and scoring. In-house lawyers with more than 2 years outside a firm will not meet the requirement. Common rejection reasons are law-firm tenure that falls short of the minimum and German writing that lacks the precision needed for legal evaluation.
Salary Insight
The compensation is $140-$150 per hour. This rate aligns with the seniority of a 2-3 year corporate lawyer working as an independent expert in legal AI evaluation.
