A rare opportunity has arisen for an experienced corporate lawyer to step into a senior, strategic knowledge role within the London office of a US law firm. Working at the forefront of the Corporate & Securities practice, this is your chance to shape how legal know-how is shared, refined, and delivered at the highest level.

This is a senior position within the global Knowledge Management team, reporting to the Director of Knowledge Management (Europe & Asia) and working closely with the Corporate & Securities Knowledge Counsel and senior partners. The successful candidate will lead knowledge initiatives, streamline the creation and use of best-in-class legal resources, deliver engaging training, and identify opportunities for innovation and efficiency across the team’s client service delivery.

This role would suit a qualified solicitor (England & Wales) with a minimum of 10 years’ post-qualification experience in corporate law at a leading international firm. You will be technically excellent in English contract law and private M&A, with exposure to private equity or capital markets a plus.
