Role overview

A mid-sized Charlotte law firm is hiring licensed attorneys for a remote, temporary, full-time eDiscovery document review assignment.

The assignment may last anywhere from a few weeks to a multi-year engagement, depending on project needs.

Project details

This is not a simple first-pass relevance or privilege review with highlighted text. The review workflow involves detailed coding fields and issue flags that require careful legal analysis, strong judgment, and close attention to each case file. The position begins on July 6 or July 13, 2026, with onboarding finishing in the week before the start date.

Work schedule and engagement terms

• Weekend shifts may also be available.
• Employment is W-2 and includes benefits such as health insurance and paid time off.
• Before starting, you must complete a background check, a conflicts check, and a remote interview.

Responsibilities

The attorney will support a multi-level document review project by examining case files, analyzing court documents in Relativity, and extracting review-related information.

• An active law license in good standing.
• Residence in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, or Texas for the full duration of the assignment.

• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with a responsive and engaged work style.
• A strong commitment to delivering excellent results for the client.

Compensation and benefits

The pay rate is $45 per hour. Benefits include health insurance and paid time off, and the project may continue long term for strong performers.
