Your role

We are looking for a Knowledge Management Lawyer (at least 3 years PQE) to join the Knowledge Management Team in our Melbourne or Sydney office. We are seeking candidates who are looking for a part-time (at least 3 days a week) or full-time position, with current experience in mergers & acquisitions and capital markets (MAC) law.

In your role as a Knowledge Management Lawyer, you will work with and report to the National Legal Knowledge Manager to provide our MAC team with dedicated, specialist knowledge management support, ensuring the lawyers have access to high-quality, curated and up-to-date knowledge resources.

• monitor and communicate developments in relevant law and policy, and respond to knowledge-related queries, to keep practice group members well-informed and well-placed to provide effective, strategic advice to clients

• develop user-friendly resources and deliver training on key knowledge resources

• work with the MAC group to identify where AI, automation and other technology solutions can deliver the greatest value to the practice, evaluate and pilot emerging legal tech tools, and lead the customisation and implementation of relevant solutions to enhance productivity and client outcomes

• stay across developments in AI and legal technology and act as a champion for the responsible and effective adoption of AI tools within the practice group

• project-manage knowledge management initiatives from planning through to delivery, and contribute to broader Knowledge Management Group projects aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the firm's lawyers

• collaborate with other members of the Knowledge Management team to ensure the firm's knowledge strategy is applied consistently across practice groups.
