Reporting to the Partner, Knowledge and Pricing, the successful candidate will help implement the firm’s strategic KM objectives, working with legal professionals and stakeholders to leverage and manage the firm’s intellectual capital. In this role, you will build and refine your legal knowledge, analytical skills, and drafting abilities through precedent development and current awareness engagement. You will collaborate with all practice groups to mine their intellectual capital and convert existing knowledge into state-of-the-art precedents and resources, with a focus on quality, consistency, and efficiency.

This position will appeal to an intellectually curious lawyer who values the sophisticated learning environment of private practice but seeks greater autonomy and balance.
