## About this task

This commercial bank (5,000+ 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 a regulated bank; the work is documented and reviewed before anything is signed off.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call.

## What you deliver

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

- A named list of items moved to next month, so nothing is lost

- 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

- Week 1: intake call and a list of what is due this month

- Weeks 2 and 3: items completed in short sessions

- Week 4: month-end summary and the list for next month

**Duration:** 8 weeks, with a monthly hours cap. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.

## Tools

Relativity Excel

## Who fits

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

- Comfortable working in Relativity and Excel

- The work is done under the supervision of a licensed lawyer or accountant on the company's side.

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- Has worked with a distributed team across time zones

- Used to short written handovers

## Not included

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

- Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately

- A signature or opinion in your own name: sign-off stays with the company

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

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

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.
