Sterlington PLLC is seeking a Legal Outsourcing Associate to join our dynamic Outsourcing department. This role offers the opportunity to work remotely, providing legal support for sophisticated, cross-border outsourcing and commercial transactions for a global client base that includes founders, high-growth companies, and institutional platforms. As an independent contractor, you will report to the Manager of the Senior Review Team and collaborate closely with senior partners in a modern, fully remote law firm environment.
In this position, you will advise clients on a wide range of outsourcing, technology, and commercial transactions, including IT outsourcing, business process outsourcing (BPO), SaaS, cloud, and digital infrastructure agreements. Your responsibilities will include leading the drafting and negotiation of complex commercial agreements, such as master services agreements, statements of work, and vendor arrangements. Additionally, you will drive AI-powered process automation across legal and operational functions, identify inefficiencies, deploy scalable solutions, and enhance AI fluency firm-wide. You will also navigate regulatory, data privacy, and operational risk issues in technology-driven transactions and collaborate across practice areas on integrated matters.

A deep interest in AI, innovation, and the future of legal services is essential. An LL.M. from a U.S. institution is strongly preferred. Excellent drafting, negotiation, and analytical skills are required, along with the ability to operate independently in a lean, remote-first environment. Experience advising on digital transformation, cloud infrastructure, or tech-enabled business models is also desirable.
