About the role
The role This is a senior opportunity to join and lead the London Corporate Transactions & Advisory ( CT&A ) Product Group's existing Knowledge & Training and Thought Leadership team ( K&T and TL team ), consisting of experienced Knowledge Lawyers and information specialists. Our London CT&A Product Group advises on some of the world's largest and most complex M&A transactions, including private M&A, joint ventures, restructurings and corporate advisory work. Our K&T and TL team is focused on delivering practical and insightful knowhow and advice to lawyers, predominantly in London but also across our global network. Key to achieving this goal is the need to keep abreast of legal and regulatory developments and work closely with our lawyers in order to ensure that deal and advisory knowhow and insights are collated, analysed and shared across the CT&A Product Group as well as other relevant Product Groups within the firm. In summary, you will be responsible for ensuring that the London CT&A K&T and TL team delivers on ensuring that lawyers have legal and regulatory knowledge and knowhow at their fingertips, whether that is internal knowhow or knowledge on legal and regulatory developments. In addition, your particular area of expertise will be company law and corporate governance. You will keep up to date with, and analyse, all legal and regulatory developments in respect of these areas. You will also be the "go to" resource for legal and regulatory developments, template maintenance and production, knowledge sharing, training, thought leadership, client communications and AI and innovation in respect of company law and corporate governance. Your role will also play an important part by ensuring our collective experience is captured and utilised for the benefit of all across the CT&A Product Group as well as other relevant Product Groups within the firm. You will provide valuable support to the Chair of the CLLS Company Law Committee and any partner on the Company Law Committee of the Law Society, which will involve taking part in working groups, alongside members of these Committees, formed to respond to Government and regulatory body consultations that impact the work of the CT&A Product Group, with a particular focus on company law and corporate governance. You will also help drive the adoption of legal technology, including the firm's AI tools, by fee earners. By combining this focus with your legal expertise, you will support the delivery of more efficient, consistent and client-focused legal services. Who you will work with You will work in our leading, world-class CT&A Global Product Group, alongside the partners and lawyers. What makes us one of the most respected Corporate Transactions & Advisory practices globally is our client base, the mandates we win, our industry expertise and commercial approach, and our people and their intellectual capability. We are consistently retained as lead international counsel on cross-border mandates and our team has a diverse client base that includes a number of FTSE350 and Fortune 500 listed corporations. You will work within the London CT&A Product Group and also be part of our London and global K&T and TL teams. This means you will work collaboratively with Knowledge Lawyers and information specialists in other Product Groups in the London office (including Private Equity, Debt Finance, Employment, Incentives and Real Estate) and in our offices across the globe. The role more generally and the work supporting the partners involved with the CLLS and Law Society Company Law Committees will provide opportunities to interact with other City law firms, Government departments such as the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (DBIST) and industry bodies/regulato
