We are looking to expand our team of expert consultants with 20 lawyers for part-time, fully-remote work supporting frontier AI research. Projects pay £70–100 per hour, with higher rates for senior practitioners and recognized experts.
This role includes designing original legal drafting and analysis tasks from scratch, spanning advices, skeleton arguments, contracts, and regulatory questions; stress-testing leading AI models on practice-level legal problems; and judging whether AI-generated legal reasoning is properly authority-backed, jurisdictionally sound, and free of unsupported assertions or risky drafting, to the standard a qualified lawyer would expect.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who We're Looking For
You are an experienced solicitor, barrister or advocate who drafts and analyses legal documents to a high standard and reasons carefully about how the law applies to specific facts. You can spot unsupported assertions, identify risky or ambiguous drafting, and ground your analysis in authority rather than assertion.
Ideal backgrounds include:
- Contentious or transactional solicitors in private practice, in-house legal teams, or the Government Legal Department
- Barristers and advocates in independent practice or employed roles
- Lawyers specialising in a substantive area (e.g. corporate/M&A, IP, financial services and regulatory, employment, tax, commercial litigation)
- Lawyers with strong legal-writing credentials like appellate practitioners, know-how and PSL lawyers, or those with a significant advisory drafting practice
- Compliance counsel or policy lawyers who reason about process and jurisdictional requirements
- Former judicial assistants, or lawyers with substantial experience drafting advices, opinions and pleadings
- Contributors to practitioner texts, legal scholarship, or widely-cited legal analysis
