Corporate & M&A Attorney Expert

Pay: $150/hour

Corporate and M&A attorneys to build the deal, diligence, and board governance scenarios frontier AI labs use to test model judgment.

AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring corporate and M&A attorneys as contractors to author and grade the transactional scenarios those evaluations run on.

What you'll actually do

• Author realistic deal scenarios from term sheet through closing, the kind a practicing deal lawyer actually runs.
• Write reference answers with the legal reasoning behind each drafting and diligence judgment, from reps and warranties to indemnification structure.
• Grade model output on purchase agreements, diligence summaries, disclosure schedules, and board matters.
• Flag analysis that reads polished but would expose a client to real risk, the misses only a practitioner would catch.

Who this is for

• Attorneys with a JD, active bar admission, and at least two years of corporate or M&A practice at a firm or in house.
• Deal lawyers who have owned real workstreams, drafting, diligence, negotiation support, or closing mechanics.
• Practitioners who can explain why a provision is drafted the way it is, not just recognize the form.
• People with strong written English who can turn deal judgment into clear, teachable reasoning.

Contract and pay

• $100 to $200/hr, paid weekly via Stripe. Your rate is set from your experience, not negotiated down after you start.
• Remote and async: fully remote, fully async. No fixed hours.
• Minimum 10 hours per week, no maximum. Scale up or down week to week.
• No screen recording, no keystroke monitoring, no idle timers.
• Independent contractor. Ongoing project work rather than single task batches.
