A leading law firm seeks a Knowledge Management Attorney to serve as a senior legal resource for its registered funds practice in Chicago. This role focuses on knowledge strategy and practice innovation rather than billable client work, though selected client-facing matters may be included.

The attorney will develop and maintain model documents, precedent collections, forms, checklists, practice notes, and training materials reflecting current law and market practice, and will monitor regulatory developments affecting registered funds and their advisers to keep practice tools current.

Working closely with partners, counsel, associates, and professional staff across asset management teams, the role involves identifying workflow gaps, implementing practical solutions, and supporting the responsible use of legal technology and artificial intelligence tools. Delivering training and recommending third-party legal and market resources are also key components.

JD from an accredited law school and admission in good standing to the relevant bar
More than five years of registered funds experience, preferably at a global or large law firm; comparable in-house experience considered
Strong knowledge of the legal and regulatory framework for registered investment companies and investment advisers, including fund formation, registration, disclosure, governance, compliance, board matters, and regulatory filings
Demonstrated ability to draft, review, and maintain high-quality registered funds documents and precedent materials
Proficiency in responsibly and ethically using AI technologies, including assessing use cases, protecting confidentiality, and verifying outputs
Excellent legal writing, research, analytical, and verbal communication skills
