Corporate Law Expert

Current Mercor opportunity: Corporate Law Expert appeared in the live Mercor Explore catalog and was rechecked from the current role page on 2026-09-18.

Role Overview

• Mercor is seeking senior corporate law professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in complex corporate transactions and governance contexts.

• The workflows are calibrated to the deal complexity, stakeholder stakes, and regulatory scope of major M&A transactions, capital markets deals, and corporate governance matters.

• This role builds worlds on two jurisdictional tracks: a US track (Delaware General Corporation Law, SEC regulations, Model Business Corporation Act) and an International track (UK Companies Act 2006, EU company law directives). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.

• Contributors design corporate law scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior corporate lawyers think.

Key Responsibilities

• Construct corporate law scenarios spanning large-scale M&A transactions, multi-party deal negotiation and regulatory review, and complex corporate governance or restructuring processes.

• Build tasks across M&A and deal structuring, securities and capital markets, corporate governance, commercial contracts, and corporate restructuring.

• Develop legal scenarios involving tools such as Westlaw, Lexis, virtual data rooms (Intralinks, Datasite), contract lifecycle management platforms, and document automation systems used on major transactions.

• Apply corporate law methodologies (deal structuring, due diligence review, regulatory filing analysis) to the jurisdictional track a world targets (US: Delaware General Corporation Law, SEC rules, Model Business Corporation Act; International: UK Companies Act 2006, EU company law directives), and produce reference legal memoranda, transaction documents, and client/regulatory-facing narratives.

• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic corporate law judgment from generic law school or bar exam-level recall.

Ideal Qualifications

• 5+ years working as a corporate attorney or general counsel at a major law firm, investment bank, or corporation (Wachtell, Skadden, Cravath, Latham & Watkins, Kirkland & Ellis, Sullivan & Cromwell, or in-house legal at a large public company).

• Direct ownership of M&A transactions, governance matters, or securities filings.

• Fluency in corporate law tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how regulatory approvals (SEC review, antitrust/HSR, or an international equivalent) and board/shareholder oversight actually work.

• A recognized professional credential is strongly preferred (JD with bar admission, or an international equivalent such as Solicitor or Qualified Lawyer in England & Wales); prior rubric, legal training curriculum, or transaction documentation authorship is a plus.
