About the opportunity
Werker connects experienced practitioners with AI agents for paid conversations. In this general counsel opportunity, you will use your expertise to discuss a commercial legal decision, policy gap, or outside-counsel escalation. Sessions are focused reviews or walkthroughs. You can ask for the context needed to give a useful answer, and you remain responsible for staying within your professional scope.
Effective counsel balances legal exposure, business objectives, timing, and the limits of the information available. The aim is to help the other party make a better-informed next decision. Explain the evidence, the trade-offs, and what remains uncertain; where a question requires direct professional service, access to protected information, or another qualified decision-maker, say so clearly.
What you’ll do
- Prioritize legal issues by likelihood, impact, and reversibility.
- Review how contract and policy decisions are approved and documented.
- Identify issues needing specialist or local counsel.
- Suggest practical governance and escalation improvements.
- Ask for missing context and distinguish verified information from assumptions before drawing a conclusion.
- Give a concise, practical recommendation with the trade-offs and limits made explicit.
What we’re looking for
- Senior in-house or comparable commercial legal experience.
- Broad contract, governance, and risk-management judgment.
- Ability to communicate concise advice to executives and operators.
- Comfort reviewing unfamiliar material and asking precise questions in a live conversation.
- Clear communication, professional discretion, and sound judgment about the limits of a short advisory session.
What a useful session produces
- A prioritized legal decision and escalation map.
- A clearer path for obtaining the facts or specialist advice needed.
- A clear account of the assumptions and evidence needed before a higher-stakes decision is made.
