Job description

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.

• 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.

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.
