## About this task

This agritech company (51–200 employees) is looking for a senior Paralegal for a monthly bundle of recurring tasks, 12–30 h a month. First-pass review and coding of documents.

A named list of recurring items keeps the month predictable for both sides. It is an agri-business, so the calendar follows the growing season.

The work is fully remote, but the company can only contract people who live in New York, so this one is for residents there. Evenings or weekends are fine, as long as the agreed weekly output is there. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (ET).

## What you deliver

- Review and code 2,000 documents for relevance and privilege flags.

- The monthly list of items completed, each with a link to the result

- A month-end summary with hours used against the cap

- A running log of open questions, reviewed at the start of each week

## What a month looks like

- Start of month: the company shares the items and the priorities

- Mid-month: progress check of 15 minutes

- Month end: hours used against the cap, results and open items

**Duration:** 8 weeks, with a monthly hours cap. Accepted on the company's written OK. If something is missed, you fix it in the same week at no extra charge to either side.

## Tools

Relativity Excel

## Who fits

- 5-10 years of hands-on work as a Paralegal, or the equivalent mix of roles

## Not included

- Deftridge pays you in USD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.
