Ground every answer in facts on this page and the original listing. We never invent Glassdoor-style reviews or salaries that are not in our data.
Expect scenario questions on risky SOW language, data-protection terms for annotation vendors, and balancing sales speed with legal risk. Prepare examples of negotiated deals, issue-spotting in MSAs, and how you partner with non-legal teams under deadline pressure.
Strong fit if you enjoy commercial law in AI/data services, can work across Europe–US counterparties, and prefer hands-on contracting over pure litigation. Thin public employee-sentiment data means culture fit should be validated in interviews.
As Associate Commercial Contracts Counsel at Toloka, you would draft and negotiate vendor, customer, and partner agreements for a HITL/AI data business—MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, and liability/IP terms—while aligning product, sales, and privacy stakeholders across Europe and the US on scalable, low-risk paper.
Prioritize: commercial contract drafting/negotiation; data processing and confidentiality clauses; liability, IP, and indemnities; multi-jurisdiction review (EU/US); clear redlines and playbooks. No certification list or costs were provided for this family.
It runs large-scale human annotation and evaluation work used to train and assess generative AI and LLMs, from an Amsterdam base.
The listing indicates Europe and US coverage and is not marked remote; confirm work location and travel with the recruiter.
Commercial paper for data and AI services—deals, risk allocation, and cross-border terms—more than courtroom advocacy.

Toloka is hiring an Associate Commercial Contracts Counsel (Freelance/Contractor) to strengthen our international legal function across Europe and the US. This is a hands-on role for a commercially minded lawyer who thrives in a fast-paced, product-led environment. About the Role As Associate Commercial Contracts Counsel at Toloka, you will be the primary legal partner for procurement and vendor contracting while taking full ownership of contract lifecycle management (CLM). You will make sure every agreement in our contract management system is correctly intaken, routed, approved, executed, stored, easily searchable, and tracked through renewal. Key Responsibilities Own end-to-end CLM for all agreements — customer and vendor contracts, NDAs, partnerships, and amendments — keeping records accurate, complete, and report-ready. Move contracts from intake to signature by aligning stakeholders, managing turnaround times, and applying correct approval and signing routes. Draft, review, and negotiate procurement and vendor-side agreements, including mutual and unilateral NDAs, supplier contracts, SaaS procurement and licensing, professional services agreements, SOWs, and related amendments. Maintain repository hygiene by tracking counterparties, contract types, business owners, status, terms, and renewal or notice dates, escalating upcoming actions to the right owners. Spot and escalate privacy, data protection, security, and IP risks tied to personal data, confidential information, model training data, transfers, subprocessors, or system access; coordinate DPAs and security terms. Advise pragmatically on risk allocation — liability caps, indemnities, warranties, IP ownership, confidentiality, audit rights, and termination. Partner with procurement, product, and finance, and continuously improve templates, fallback clauses, and negotiation playbooks within the CLM. Qualifications Native or near-native professional English fluency. Law degree (LL.B., LL.M., JD, or equivalent) and qualification to practice in the US, EU, or UK, with 2+ years' PQE or equivalent commercial contracting experience, ideally in technology transactions or in-house. Proven drafting and negotiation of commercial technology contracts, especially vendor-side SaaS, services/SOWs, licensing, and NDAs. Strong grasp of privacy, security, and IP issues — DPAs, data-use restrictions, subprocessors, cross-border transfers, and security controls. Demonstrated CLM and contract-operations experience: intake, workflows, template administration, and metadata hygiene. Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable juggling priorities under tight deadlines. Bonus: GDPR, DPAs, and software IP clause…
