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, the platform to collaborate widely across the business, and the support to embed 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.
  • High-profile team – join a top-ranked Real Estate practice with a strong market reputation.
  • Cutting-edge tools – work with the latest legal tech and knowledge-sharing innovations.

This is a key appointment with a remit that extends across the wider real estate sector group. The role blends 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 be part of a wider knowledge community and work closely with colleagues in innovation, training, marketing, and fee-earning teams to embed best practice across the board.

Key responsibilities include:

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

Ideal for a qualified lawyer with 5+ years’ real estate experience, preferably spanning both contentious and non-contentious work. You’ll combine strong technical skills with commercial awareness, a proactive mindset, and a genuine enthusiasm for knowledge sharing. Experience in training, project management, or innovation will be highly valued, as will a passion for legal tech and continuous improvement.

If you’re looking for a role where you can lead, innovate, and have a real impact, his is your chance. You’ll be the go-to expert, ensuring the team is equipped with the right tools, training, and insight to stay at the forefront of the market. You’ll bring ideas to life and deliver knowledge in ways that are practical, effective, and genuinely game changing.
