About AI Training Work in Legal

AI training (also called data labeling or human feedback work) is the human side of building AI: experts review examples, rate outputs, and prepare the data that modern models learn from. Legal projects require careful reasoning, attention to compliance, and precise written summaries.

Specialist legal work often pays more for domain expertise and gives contributors a chance to directly influence how legal AI interprets contracts, regulations, and case scenarios.

The Role

OpenTrain is recruiting a Legal AI Training Specialist to support training of legal models through research, document review, and structured evaluations. This is a remote, part-time contractor role focused on analyzing legal materials and producing concise, accurate annotations and summaries.

You will work across contracts, regulatory filings, and case-based scenarios to identify risks, inconsistencies, and compliance gaps that help improve legal workflows and model behavior.

What You'll Do

• Conduct legal research across multiple practice areas.
• Review contracts, regulatory filings, and other legal documents for accuracy and compliance.
• Interpret laws, regulations, and policies to create structured legal evaluations.

• Collaborate on suggested improvements to legal workflows and documentation standards.
• Maintain confidentiality and demonstrate strong attention to detail.
