M&A Corporate and Securities Attorney

About OpenTrain

OpenTrain is the #1 platform for building careers in AI training and data labeling. We connect qualified professionals with short- and long-term projects that shape how AI systems learn, and we act as the hiring and contracting organization for every role on the platform.

This role is a contract engagement through OpenTrain; you'll join a distributed community of contributors who work remotely, build a portfolio of AI training work, and directly influence AI behavior in real-world applications.

Why AI training matters for legal work

AI training is the human side of building intelligent systems — people teach models by reviewing outputs, correcting mistakes, and providing structured feedback. Legal subject-matter experts make AI safer and more reliable when it produces legal reasoning, due diligence summaries, or contract analysis.

For attorneys, these projects are flexible, meaningful ways to apply transactional experience: most work is remote, schedule-friendly, and directly improves how legal AI tools reason about corporate and securities issues.

The role

OpenTrain is recruiting an M&A Corporate & Securities Attorney to review realistic transaction scenarios, due diligence materials, and AI-generated legal outputs. You will use your deal experience to identify material risks, cross-document inconsistencies, and governance or disclosure issues, then provide clear, structured written feedback to improve model performance.

• Contract, part-time engagement: 20+ hours per week.
• Pay: $80–$100 per hour (PAY_PER_HOUR).
• Work is worldwide-eligible and remote; English proficiency required.

What you'll do day-to-day

Your core tasks combine legal review with annotation and evaluation: you will read transaction scenarios and virtual data room materials, assess AI outputs for accuracy and relevance, and deliver concise corrections and explanations that train models to spot real-world problems.

• Review M&A transaction scenarios and due diligence materials.
• Evaluate AI-generated legal outputs (text generation) and rate accuracy (evaluation/rating).
• Identify material issues, governance problems, and cross-document inconsistencies.
• Provide clear written feedback on corporate, governance, securities, and deal-process questions.
• Apply judgment informed by live-deal experience and virtual data room workflows.

Requirements

You must meet the core professional qualifications and be able to produce concise, structured legal critiques suitable for training models.

• JD and active bar membership, or equivalent legal qualification (required).
• Background in M&A, corporate, venture, or securities matters.
• Experience reviewing corporate governance documents and spotting ambiguity and disclosure issues.
• Strong legal writing, analytical reasoning, and the ability to produce structured feedback.
• Familiarity with virtual data rooms (Datasite, Intralinks, Ansarada) preferred.
• Comfort reviewing and explaining corrections to AI-generated legal outputs; prior exposure to AI-assisted legal review tools is a plus.

Who should apply

Apply if you are a licensed attorney with transactional experience and you want flexible, remote contract work that leverages your M&A skills to improve legal AI. This role suits attorneys who enjoy concise written analysis, reviewing documents, and mentoring models through high-quality feedback.

Although the listing is marked entry-level, the role requires a JD and active bar membership plus substantive M&A or securities experience as stated above.
