The Opportunity

This role gives you ownership of the final quality of every contract that goes out, reviewing at real volume and within firm turnaround windows, working alongside an AI-assisted first pass and applying your legal judgment against the client's playbook before handing off to quality control for final sign-off.

What You'll Do:

• Perform initial review of a high-volume pipeline of commercial agreements, specifically NDAs, master services agreements, and vendor arrangements, ensuring rapid turnaround and strict adherence to client-specific playbooks.
• Work within Sterlington's AI-powered review workflow, treating each AI-generated first-pass markup as a starting point you verify and correct, with every final call resting on your own legal judgment.
• Apply legal playbooks accurately and consistently, escalating anything outside established guidance to quality control rather than deciding it independently.
• Identify and flag confidentiality and commercial risks within standard transactions, spotting non-standard terms before they reach quality control.
• Maintain accurate ticket status and clean handoffs across shifts, so turnaround stays on track for the next reviewer or QC.
• Manage a demanding, high-volume queue in a fast-paced review environment, delivering accuracy without sacrificing turnaround speed.

What We're Looking For:

• 4+ years of experience in legal contract review, including hands-on NDA review under US or UK law.
• Genuine interest in AI and legal technology, with daily hands-on use of AI tools in your own legal work, comfortable working alongside AI as part of your everyday process.
• Strong background in high-volume commercial contract review environments.
• Demonstrated ability to work accurately from detailed legal playbooks and client-specific instructions, escalating anything outside established guidance rather than deciding it independently.
• LL.M. from a U.S. or UK institution, preferred but not required.
• Ability to operate independently in a 100% Remote environment, on a fixed schedule.
• Fluent in both written and spoken legal English, with a strong command of legal terminology and language.

At Sterlington, we believe that world-class talent has no boundaries. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where unique perspectives are valued and every individual has the opportunity to thrive. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply.
