About the Role:
We are seeking a Knowledge Management (KM) Lawyer in our dynamic tax practice group in London to support the delivery of a broad portfolio of knowledge resources. The role will be located in our London office on a full or part-time basis, and may be eligible for a flexible working schedule that allows for a hybrid and in-office presence.
Responsibilities & Qualifications:

Key responsibilities include:

  • Monitoring current legal, regulatory, and market developments and informing attorneys of these developments through emails, bulletins, training or other appropriate means.
  • Drafting and maintaining standard forms, templates, guidance notes and other knowledge resources to help our tax attorneys to work at the highest level.
  • Supporting the training programmes of the tax practice group, providing substantive training to the associates and trainees as well as more general training on knowledge resources generally.
  • Supporting the delivery of the firm’s regular thought leadership publications and wider thought leadership efforts, including developing ideas for articles and writing and editing content.
  • Participating in external forums with members of the wider legal community and external service providers in order to keep abreast of regulatory and industry developments.

  • Highly organised with meticulous attention to detail
  • A self-starter willing to take the initiative and able to perform responsibilities without close supervision

And have:

  • A Bachelor of Laws (or equivalent)
  • A minimum of five years’ post-qualification experience as a practising lawyer in the tax department of a leading international law firm
  • Outstanding communication skills, both written and verbal, and the ability to interact effectively with people at all organisational levels of the firm
  • The ability to work independently on and deliver projects of significant complexity on a timely basis.

Successful candidates will not only be provided with an outstanding career opportunity and welcoming environment, but will also be provided with a generous total compensation package with bonuses awarded in recognition of both individual and firm performance. Eligible employees can participate in Latham’s comprehensive benefit program which includes:

  • Health insurance as well as group income protection and life assurance
