Litigation & Disputes Expert

What you’ll do

Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to advance frontier agent evaluations in litigation. As a Litigation & Disputes Expert, you’ll build long-horizon litigation tasks that mirror the work you already do, each paired with a deterministic rubric that grades agent performance against verifiable ground truth. Tasks need to have checkable answers; no open-ended essays, no subjective judgment calls.

Expect to build scenarios across:

• Discovery: document review with ground-truth tags, privilege logging with known privileged/not-privileged classifications, discovery responses against a rule set
• Research: case research with verifiable holdings and correct citations, cite-checking against a ground-truth authority list
• Procedural work: deposition outlines covering a required topic list, discovery-response timing tied to FRCP/state rules

These scenarios will be challenging and take long sessions of focus.

Who we’re looking for

• JD; 3+ years in litigation (firm or in-house)
• Bar admission in at least one US state
• Expertise in one or more of the following: ediscovery (Relativity, Everlaw, DISCO), legal research (Westlaw, Lexis), FRCP or state civil procedure, privilege and work-product doctrine
• Comfortable reading and producing litigation artifacts: review coding decisions, privilege logs, research memos, deposition outlines
• Clear written communication; can articulate reasoning step by step and encode it into deterministic rubrics

Compensation

$110–$150/hr depending on domain depth and prior experience. Strong contributors are promoted based on task quality and throughput.
