Legal Associate — Content & Drafting

Job description
Company: Orchestrate Consulting ServicesLocation: Noida, India Onsite Experience: 12 years (LLB graduates and strong final-year students welcome)Compensation: Competitive base + real practice exposure + growth pathAbout UsWe're an early-stage ed-tech startup building India's first dedicated platform for law-career aspirants starting with AIBE, CLAT, CIVIL SERVICES, NEET, Judiciary / Civil Judge exams (PCS-J), APO, and many more. One platform, multiple career journey: from law school entrance to a permanent seat on the bench.Our tech platform is built, our product is live, and we're now scaling the depth and breadth of our legal content.This isn't a regular content-writing role. It's for a lawyer who wants two things at once: a serious, intellectually rich career in legal education content, and continued exposure to real legal drafting work. We offer both deliberately.The RoleYou'll wear two hats:Hat 1: Legal Content (~70% of your time)You'll create and vet exam-prep content across our verticals judiciary, CLAT, AIBE, and other legal exams as the company expands. This means writing study notes, building MCQ banks, drafting model answers for mains, recording explainer scripts, and updating material when laws or syllabi change. You'll be the person who ensures every legal claim on our platform is accurate, well-cited, and student-friendly. You should have exposure to international exams too like SQE and MBE.Hat 2: Legal Drafting (~30% of your time)You'll also get hands-on with real legal drafting work that comes through the firm petitions, replies, opinions, contracts, depending on what's on the docket. This isn't filler work or shadow work; it's the practice experience that pure ed-tech content roles can't offer and that you'd otherwise spend years chasing at a junior law firm.The mix is genuine. Don't take this role if you only want one of the two take it if you want both, and want to grow at both.What You'll DoOn the content side:Create high-quality study material across substantive law (CrPC, CPC, IPC, Evidence, Contract, Constitution, Torts, Jurisprudence, etc.) and procedural law for our exam syllabiYou may need to hire Legal Intern and manage them in order to grow the teamBuild MCQ question banks with clear, defensible answers and detailed explanationsDraft model answers for mains-format questions and concise case-law summariesVet content created by freelancers and external SMEs our name should never go on anything that isn't accurateTrack legal developments (new judgments, statute amendments, rule changes) and update material accordinglyWrite video scripts and short explainers for social contentContribute to the design of mock tests, test series, and answer-writing programsOn the drafting side:Assist with drafting petitions, replies, legal opinions, and contracts on matters routed to the firmResearch case law and statutory provisions to support ongoing mattersAttend strategy discussions, take notes, and where appropriate court visitsYou'll Do Well Here If YouHave an LLB from a recognized law college (NLU or top-tier institute is a plus, but not required; what matters more is your grasp of substantive law)Did well in your law school core subjects particularly CrPC, CPC, IPC, Evidence, Contract, and ConstitutionWrite clearly and precisely legal content must be both accurate and accessible to studentsAre intellectually honest if you don't know an answer, you check; if a precedent is overruled, you flag itCare about teaching you remember what it felt like to be confused by a concept and you want to help students get past it faster than you didAre genuinely interested in both legal content and legal practice not just oneMove fast and take ownership without waiting for permissionBonus PointsYou've personally appeared for (or seriously prepared for) PCS-J / state judicial services, CLAT, or AIBEYou're enrolled with the Bar Council of India / have cleared AIBEYou can write or produce content in Hindi as fluently as in English many state judiciary exams (UP PCS-J, BPSC-J, MP, Rajasthan) are bilingualYou've published legal articles or commentary (Lawctopus, Bar & Bench, Live Law, SCC Blog, or your own platform)You've worked as a research assistant for a judge, senior advocate, or law firmYou're comfortable with digital content formats short-form video, infographics, social postsWhat We OfferCompetitive cash compensation fair for a junior legal associate, with raises as you take on more responsibilityReal practice exposure actual drafting work, not just content.

You should be comfortable being asked to shift focus across exams (e.g., from judiciary to CLAT and back) or across legal subjects as the company prioritizes.
