A leading global law firm with a Tier 1 corporate practice is seeking an experienced Corporate Lawyer to join its London knowledge function. This is an excellent opportunity to remain closely connected to sophisticated corporate transactions while moving into a strategic role spanning knowledge, training and market developments.
Why Apply?
- Outstanding package – a very attractive six-figure salary within a highly regarded global firm.
- Alternative career path – remain involved in high-quality corporate and private equity work without the traditional fee-earning demands.
- High-impact position – work closely with senior lawyers and help shape best practice and the firm's approach to knowledge sharing.
The Corporate Knowledge Lawyer will act as a key technical resource to the corporate practice, ensuring lawyers have access to commercially relevant know-how while supporting training, market insight and initiatives to improve legal service delivery.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain precedents, templates, checklists and corporate know-how.
- Monitor legal and market developments and provide practical guidance.
- Analyse transactional information to support market insights and benchmarking.
- Develop and deliver lawyer, trainee and selected client training.
- Explore the use of AI, legal technology and innovative tools to improve efficiency, knowledge sharing and legal service delivery.
- Support thought leadership and wider knowledge initiatives.
Who Would This Suit?
This role would suit a qualified lawyer with 6+ years' PQE gained within the corporate practice of a leading international law firm. Strong transactional experience is essential, particularly across private equity and M&A, with broader corporate experience also valuable.
Previous Knowledge Lawyer or Professional Support Lawyer experience would be advantageous but is not essential. Experienced corporate fee-earners looking to move into a knowledge-focused career are also encouraged to apply.
This is a rare opportunity to combine high-level corporate expertise, private equity exposure and knowledge development within a leading international practice, supported by a very attractive six-figure package.
