ContractStandards is looking for some talented people to help us create content. Come join the team!


Law clerk

We are looking for law clerks to help us build content for ContractStandards clients and the ContractStandards public library.

This will primarily entail drafting model contracts in accordance with the ContractStandards Style Guide and supporting attorney editors. The twist is that you will be using analytic technology to help draft agreements. This is a great opportunity (if we do say so ourselves) to work at the intersection of law and technology and get experience drafting plain language agreements.

The work is remote, so location does not matter. Salary will be commensurate with experience.

Please email a resume to alex.hoover@contractstandards.com.

Qualifications

Required

  • 3rd year law student at an American Bar Association accredited law school
  • Experience drafting contracts

Preferred

  • Ability to learn new technologies quickly
  • Experience with legal research platforms (Lexis, Westlaw, FastCase)
  • Experience with contract technology (document assembly, automated contract review tools)
  • Experience working in multidisciplinary team (marketing, product development, sales) preferred

Lawyer Editor (Canada)

We are building a team of lawyer editors to help us build content for ContractStandards clients and the ContractStandards public library.

This will primarily entail drafting model contracts in accordance with the ContractStandards Style Guide and related guidance. The job differs from other lawyer editor positions because you will be using analytic technology to identify contract elements.

This is a great opportunity (if we do say so ourselves) to work at the intersection of law and technology.

The work is remote. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
