We are seeking experienced in-house legal counsel based in the United Kingdom to support a legal AI benchmarking initiative focused on evaluating how effectively AI systems handle real-world questions involving UK law.

As an expert reviewer, you will assess responses generated by two AI platforms, compare their legal reasoning and conclusions, and evaluate each response against a standardized rubric. Your professional expertise will help establish reliable benchmarks for the quality, accuracy, and practical relevance of AI-generated legal work.

  • Provide concise, precise, and well-reasoned written feedback for every evaluation.
  • Apply evaluation criteria consistently and objectively across assigned tasks.
  • Complete assignments independently while adhering to project guidelines and deadlines.

Requirements

  • Strong command of UK law, particularly commercial and contract matters.
  • Practical experience advising businesses and assessing real-world legal and commercial risks.
  • Excellent attention to detail and strong analytical judgment.
  • Exceptional written English and the ability to communicate complex legal concepts clearly and concisely.
  • Ability to distinguish legally accurate analysis from plausible but incorrect or incomplete reasoning.
  • Comfortable working independently with structured evaluation rubrics.
  • Strong ability to manage deadlines and consistently deliver high-quality assessments.
