Paralegal or Attorney for Contract Obligation Data Entry Project

The Decision Group Inc. is a very small consultancy based in California. Recently, one of our clients requested that their complex energy related contracts be analyzed and all obligations contained in those contracts be copied into an Excel database format that they provide. A small excerpt of one of the contracts is contained below.

We would like to have an attorney or paralegal work for us on a project basis. The candidate must be able to:
-Read and write clearly in American English.
-Identify and copy/paraphrase all obligations contained in these contracts.
-Identify who is responsible for the obligation, the section, paragraph, and clause the obligation can be found in the contract, etc.
-Be available for occasional calls/meetings during California time
-Follow instructions and perform work with a high-level of detail, accuracy, and efficiency
-Maintain confidentiality

In essence, we are parsing complex energy contracts into a database format to understand and track obligations. There are approximately 20 contracts of about 400 pages in length each..

Work can be done in Philippine time zones. You must have a computer, internet connection, Adobe Acrobat, MS Word, Excel, etc.

We are looking to get started right away, and we may bring on more than one person to assist with this work.

Please answer:

When would you be able to start?
How many hours per day can you commit to this?
What experience do you have doing this type of work?
Describe your work setup – internet connection, computer, software., etc.
What is your desired hourly compensation?

We are happy to pay weekly, and pay through EasyPay.
