A leading law firm is seeking a Corporate Knowledge Management & Innovation (KM&I) Associate Attorney to join its Corporate practice in Boston. Working closely with practice leadership, this attorney will enhance how the Corporate Section captures, organizes, and delivers its knowledge resources, applying transactional experience to knowledge, process, and technology initiatives that improve attorney effectiveness and client service.

The role focuses on drafting and maintaining precedents and templates, supporting practice technology projects, and helping attorneys make better use of firm knowledge and technology resources. It requires strong communication skills and an appetite for engaging lawyers in new ways of working — from using model documents to adopting new platforms.

Key responsibilities span knowledge development (curating model documents, checklists, practice notes, and precedent databases), technology and innovation (evaluating, testing, and rolling out practice technologies, including document automation and AI-enabled review/search, with demonstrations and best practices), training and engagement (partnering on curricula, designing and delivering trainings and playbooks, presenting KM updates and demos), and process and adoption (standardizing workflows, driving adoption through communications and outreach, monitoring usage). The attorney will also provide ongoing support to attorneys on resource questions, document searches, and tool walk-throughs, and align with business development, professional development, and IT teams.

The position requires 60% on-site presence and offers 40% remote flexibility.

  • J.D. required.
  • 3–5 years of corporate practice (M&A/VC/PE/securities) in a law firm or equivalent.
  • Strong writer and communicator able to engage and influence attorneys.
  • Proven organizer and project manager, comfortable juggling multiple matters.
  • Tech-savvy with Microsoft 365 and core legal tools (e.g., Copilot, iManage, Kira, Litera, Harvey); quick to learn new AI, search, and automation platforms.
  • Analytical and practical, able to distill legal concepts into clear resources and workflows.
  • Service-oriented and responsive, building trust with attorneys and providing on-the-spot support.
  • Sound judgment and discretion with confidential information; collaborative team player.
