An exciting opportunity has arisen at a top international law firm for a talented real estate lawyer to step into a pivotal Senior Knowledge Lawyer role within a well-established, top performing Real Estate practice. This is a strategic, part-time role (4 days per week) with scope to make a real and lasting impact.

This is more than a support function; it’s a chance to take ownership of the knowledge space, driving innovation and shaping the future of legal knowledge delivery within a dynamic, high-performing team. You’ll have the autonomy to bring ideas to life, collaborate widely across the business, and support the embedding of cutting-edge knowledge-sharing tools and practices that genuinely enhance legal service delivery.

Why apply?

• Make the role your own – autonomy to lead, innovate, and influence the firm’s knowledge direction.
• Join a high-profile team – be part of a top-ranked Real Estate practice with a strong market reputation.
• Work with cutting-edge tools – utilize the latest legal tech and knowledge-sharing innovations.

This key appointment covers the wider real estate sector group. The role involves strategy, delivery, and collaboration, developing high-quality knowledge tools and resources, keeping lawyers ahead of legal and regulatory changes, and supporting external profile-raising through thought leadership. You’ll work closely with colleagues in innovation, training, marketing, and fee-earning teams to embed best practices across the firm.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing and delivering intuitive knowledge tools, templates, guides, and internal resources
• Monitoring legal developments and providing timely updates to the team
• Leading internal training and supporting external client training initiatives
• Collaborating with marketing to produce thought leadership and enhance visibility
• Championing legal technology, AI, and innovative knowledge-sharing approaches
• Supporting firm-wide KM initiatives and cross-functional collaboration
• Advising fee-earners on complex legal queries and fostering a knowledge-led culture

Ideal candidates are qualified lawyers with 5+ years’ real estate experience, ideally covering both contentious and non-contentious work. Strong technical skills, commercial awareness, a proactive approach, and enthusiasm for knowledge sharing are essential. Experience in training, project management, or innovation, along with a passion for legal tech and continuous improvement, will be highly valued.

If you seek a role where you can lead, innovate, and make a tangible impact, this is your opportunity. You’ll be the go-to expert, ensuring the team has the right tools, training, and insights to stay at the forefront of the market. Bring your ideas to life and deliver knowledge in practical, effective, and game-changing ways.
