Corporate Law Expert at Mercor

Corporate Law Expert | $90–100/hr | Worldwide Remote

Mercor is seeking senior corporate law professionals to design and build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in complex corporate transactions and governance contexts. This is a high-impact contractor role ideal for experienced corporate attorneys or general counsel who want to shape how AI understands elite-level legal reasoning.

About the Role

Contributors will work across two jurisdictional tracks:

• US Track: Delaware General Corporation Law, SEC regulations, Model Business Corporation Act
• International Track: UK Companies Act 2006, EU company law directives

Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply. Workflows are calibrated to the deal complexity, stakeholder stakes, and regulatory scope of major M&A transactions, capital markets deals, and corporate governance matters.

Key Responsibilities

• Construct corporate law scenarios spanning large-scale M&A transactions, multi-party deal negotiations, regulatory review, and complex governance or restructuring processes.
• Build tasks across M&A and deal structuring, securities and capital markets, corporate governance, commercial contracts, and corporate restructuring.
• Develop legal scenarios involving tools such as Westlaw, Lexis, virtual data rooms (Intralinks, Datasite), contract lifecycle management platforms, and document automation systems.
• Apply corporate law methodologies — deal structuring, due diligence review, regulatory filing analysis — to produce reference legal memoranda, transaction documents, and client/regulatory-facing narratives.
• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic corporate law judgment from generic law school or bar exam-level recall.

Ideal Qualifications

• 5+ years as a corporate attorney or general counsel at a major law firm or large public company (e.g., Wachtell, Skadden, Cravath, Latham & Watkins, Kirkland & Ellis, Sullivan & Cromwell).
• Direct ownership of M&A transactions, governance matters, or securities filings.
• Fluency in corporate law tooling and methodologies, including regulatory approval processes (SEC review, antitrust/HSR, or international equivalents) and board/shareholder oversight.
• JD with bar admission strongly preferred; international equivalents (Solicitor or Qualified Lawyer in England & Wales) welcome.
• Prior experience authoring rubrics, legal training curricula, or transaction documentation is a plus.
