London, United Kingdom Simpsonthacher Full time

Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is one of the world’s leading international law firms. The Firm was established in 1884 and has more than 1,000 lawyers. Headquartered in New York with offices in Beijing, Brussels, Hong Kong, Houston, London, Los Angeles, Palo Alto, São Paulo, Tokyo and Washington, D.C., the Firm provides coordinated legal advice and transactional capability to clients around the globe.

Description/Job Summary

This is an exciting greenfield opportunity to develop a knowledge function within the team, supporting our lawyers to maintain and grow their technical knowledge and horizon-scanning for our clients.

Responsibilities/Duties

Our Knowledge Lawyer will support the UK Tax team in all aspects of knowledge and technical knowhow, which will include:

  • monitoring UK tax legislative changes and case law developments;
  • creating, improving and managing precedent documents and template advice;
  • helping to keep the team up to speed on legal and market developments and sector ‘hot topics’;
  • assisting with pitches and technical/marketing presentations for clients;
  • developing a training programme for the team, including preparation of materials and delivery of some training/legal update sessions;
  • updating and writing team guidance notes;
  • building and managing our knowhow/precedent bank;
  • supporting key clients with training and knowledge services; and
  • supporting the team on ad hoc queries.

Required Skills

  • Experience as a knowledge lawyer is preferred but not essential.
  • We anticipate this role would best suit a lawyer with 7+ years relevant PQE, but will consider less experienced candidates with a strong interest in the role.

To succeed in this role, you will need:

  • to be proactive;
  • to be a self-starter with a ‘can do’ approach;
  • sound judgment;
  • strong commercial awareness;
  • a strong desire to offer first class advice and service to the team; and
  • a strong interest in the black letter law, excellent technical skills and an eye for detail.

You will ideally have expertise in the taxation of investment funds and their executives.
