Legal & Paralegal

If you're currently a: Paralegal, legal assistant, contract specialist, compliance analyst, legal researcher

Contract review, research, first-draft memos. The machines are getting good at the grind. The judgment calls, the negotiation, the conversation with a worried client across a desk: still yours.

Timeline
4-6 months
Salary Range
$75-180K

Your first step

Run your next contract summary or memo through Claude or ChatGPT. You’ll see right away where it nails the legal voice and where it stumbles. Then look hard at AI compliance roles. A lawyer who reads regulation natively beats a pure technologist on those teams every time.
