What the work actually involves

You receive commercial agreements — master services agreements, NDAs, data processing addenda, SOWs, reseller and SaaS terms — along with a playbook of company positions and acceptable fallbacks. Your job is to review the draft as in-house counsel would: identify the issues that matter, mark up the language, and then write a clear explanation of why each redline was made and what the negotiation posture is if the counterparty pushes back. The written rationale is not a footnote here; it is the product. A silent redline teaches a model nothing, while a redline paired with "this uncapped indemnity is out of policy because X, and the fallback is Y" is training signal.

Expect repeated passes over the same provision families — limitation of liability, indemnification, confidentiality, IP ownership and licence grants, data protection and subprocessing, termination and suspension rights, warranty disclaimers. Consistency across tasks matters as much as correctness on any single one, so calibration discussion with the project team is part of the job rather than an interruption to it.

What the screen looks for

micro1's process is AI-led and follows up on whatever you say. It checks that your JD and bar admission are real and current, that your transactional experience is substantive rather than adjacent, and that you can talk about specific clauses at the level of drafting choices — carve-outs from the liability cap, super-cap structures, indemnity scope versus defence obligations, Article 28 requirements in a DPA. It also probes evaluation judgment: whether you can follow a playbook you disagree with, flag genuine ambiguity instead of inventing a position, and separate "out of policy" from "badly drafted" from "acceptable but suboptimal."

Logistics

  • Contractor engagement, remote, US-based.
  • Largely asynchronous and deadline-driven; you pick up batches of documents and return marked-up drafts with written rationale.
  • Part-time volumes are common, with expectations set per batch rather than by fixed shifts.
  • Confidential project — expect to sign an NDA and to work without public attribution.
  • Observed band for this listing is $90–110/hr; rates are set by the platform per engagement and are not guaranteed.
