Litigation Lawyer (United Kingdom

Mercor is partnering with a leading legal AI company to benchmark how well AI systems answer real questions of UK law. We are hiring experienced litigation & disputes lawyers to serve as expert reviewers — running the same prompts through two AI platforms, comparing the answers, and scoring them against a standardized rubric.

What you'll do

• Compare the outputs from both platforms side by side
• Score each response against a standardized rubric we provide
• Submit concise written feedback for every evaluation

Requirements

• Primarily law-firm / chambers experience — at least 2 years (3+ preferred) at a law firm or barristers' chambers in litigation, disputes, or contentious practice. If you are currently in-house, that is fine only if you moved in-house within the last 2 years and your prior experience was at a firm/chambers.
• Qualified to practise in the United Kingdom, with a strong command of UK litigation and procedural law
• Native or fluent English, with precise written communication
• Able to work independently to a rubric and to deadlines
