Legal Domain Expert (NetDocuments) at Mercor

Legal Domain Expert (NetDocuments) | $70-100/hr | Remote

About the role

We are looking for a legal domain expert with deep, hands-on NetDocuments experience. You will review and evaluate legal document workflows and AI outputs, confirming that documents are filed, profiled, versioned, and secured correctly for each matter - not just that they exist somewhere.

What you'll do

• Confirm a document is filed, profiled, versioned, and secured correctly for the matter
• Catch documents filed to the wrong matter, wrong official versions, broken ethical walls, and unauthorized changes to documents
• Judge completeness: whether all related documents and emails were handled, or only the first one found
• Distinguish "the system allowed it" from "a records manager or partner would approve it"
• Verify that requests that should be refused (deleting a document under legal hold, sharing across an ethical wall) are refused rather than forced through

Core NetDocuments knowledge required

• Matter-centric filing: cabinets, workspaces, folders, and profile metadata (client, matter, document type, author), and how misprofiled documents get lost
• Versioning: official vs. draft versions, check-in and check-out, and which version controls
• Ethical walls and access controls, and when moving or sharing a document breaches one
• Filing email and attachments to the right matter (ndMail or equivalent) and finding them again
• Retention, legal holds, and records disposition, and when a document must not be deleted or moved

Specialized depth (strong working knowledge in at least 2-3)

• Litigation support: productions, privilege review, Bates numbering and redaction
• Records management and matter closing or archiving
• Conflicts and new-matter intake
• Knowledge management, templates, and precedent libraries
• NetDocuments administration: security, cabinet configuration, PatternBuilder and automation
• Transactional practice: closing sets, deal rooms, document comparison

Requirements

• Frequent NetDocuments use - weekly or more - in your current or recent role
• 2+ years as a paralegal, legal assistant, records manager, litigation support specialist, DMS administrator, or practicing attorney
• Can spot a misfiled document, a wrong official version, or a confidentiality breach on sight
• Paralegal certificate, J.D., or equivalent law firm experience; iManage or other DMS experience is a plus
• Strong working knowledge in at least 2-3 of the specialized areas above
• Prior data annotation, labeling, or AI evaluation experience is a plus
