Job Description

We’re partnering with a leading Silver Circle law firm in London on an exciting opportunity for a Knowledge Lawyer to join their well-established Construction & Engineering team.

This is a unique opportunity for either an Associate seeking to transition into a knowledge-focused or an experienced Knowledge Lawyer. The ideal candidate will have at least 4 years’ PQE in non-contentious construction law. Applications are welcomed from both in-house and private practice professionals. The firm is ideally looking for someone to work a 4 day working week.

The practice is development-driven, advising a range of high-profile clients including developers, investors (such as L&G, Stanhope, CIT, and Realstar), occupiers, funding institutions, and banks. Their work spans a broad spectrum of commercial projects, including offices, hotels, residential blocks, and retail developments.

The role of a Knowledge Lawyer has evolved, no longer behind the scenes, this position offers a dynamic mix of responsibilities that go far beyond traditional know-how management. You'll play a visible and strategic role, with direct client interaction and a broad remit that includes managing and developing know-how and precedents, contributing to client-facing publications, supporting internal and external training initiatives, and collaborating with other knowledge lawyers in the network to share insights and best practices.
