Senior Counsel Legal Benchmark Design
Job Description
Develop legal cases and reference work that reflect counsel-level responsibility. Evaluate model analyses, drafting and strategic choices with explicit rubrics, resolve nuanced legal issues and provide the reasoning needed for consistent assessment by other reviewers.
Practice scope
This route requires eight to fifteen post-qualification years and current counsel, senior-associate, senior in-house or assistant-GC responsibility, with JD, active US bar and professional LLM use. It is distinct from early-career and partner/GC tiers.
Professional background
This route calls for eight to fifteen years of substantive practice after legal qualification and responsibility at counsel, senior associate, senior in-house counsel or assistant general counsel level.

Demonstrate ownership of matters in a substantive field such as transactions, disputes, IP, employment, tax or regulation.
