Overview
micro1 seeks Structured Finance Attorneys to bring their legal expertise to a customer's project. The work involves annotating and reviewing contracts tied to asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, and collateralized debt obligations.

- Draft or assess sample clauses, documents, and legal frameworks used in structured finance deals.
- Give detailed feedback on hypothetical scenarios or AI-generated legal content for accuracy, sufficiency, and clarity.
- Explain industry-specific terms, regulatory requirements, and common legal structures in structured finance.
- Help build training datasets that mirror current legal standards and best practices.
