Job Details

THE FIRM
A long established City firm.
THE ROLE
A Corporate Knowledge Development Lawyer is sought to join the firm's KDLs, all of whom are experts within their field and who support and facilitate knowledge sharing within their area of expertise.
Knowledge directly supports the firm's ambition to undertake complex, challenging, high-value work and deliver exceptional client service. KDLs have the responsibility of developing a unique, knowledge-sharing culture within the Firm which in turn drives efficiency and profitability.
This role represents an exciting opportunity for the right person to make a meaningful contribution in a strong and growing area for the firm.
The right candidate will be able to use their strong technical legal knowledge to leverage the work of the Corporate group by growing the technical legal expertise of the group and improving efficiency.
This opportunity has arisen as the Corporate group is particularly busy at the moment and the two Corporate KDLs have additional management responsibilities.
It is important that the person in this role can demonstrate both the ability to work independently on tasks and projects and also as part of a wider team.
The work will include:
Developing and maintaining precedents, automated documents, practice notes, checklists, toolkits, clause banks and other forms of know-how.
Facilitating and leading know-how meetings to ensure that new developments, legal and practical knowledge and experience is shared;
Collecting know-how from lawyers, reviewing this and making it available via the Knowledge system.
Developing efficient, practical and meaningful current awareness for the group.
Working collaboratively with the Research & Information Services team and the Knowledge Partner to identify the external knowledge resources (legal and business-based) required by the group.
Assisting fee-earners with technical queries, encouraging in all lawyers a confident use of existing resources.
Mentoring trainees and junior Associates, and guiding on the correct use of electronic tools, such as DocuSign.
Working collaboratively with the Knowledge Partner and other key stakeholders to identify opportunities to use new technology or processes to improve our service delivery.
THE CANDIDATE
A Corporate lawyer 7pqe+ with experience as a PDL/KDL an advantage
Experience with Innovation Technology (Document Automation and Artificial Intelligence) also an advantage
