Knowledge Development Lawyer

London, United Kingdom Charles Russell Speechlys LLP Full time

Knowledge Development Lawyers (KDLs) at Charles Russell Speechlys are experts within their field, and they support and facilitate knowledge sharing within their area of expertise. Knowledge directly supports the firm’s ambition to undertake complex, challenging, high-value work and deliver exceptional client service. KDLs have the responsibility of developing our unique, knowledge-sharing culture within the Firm which in turn drives efficiency and profitability.

Our clients are at the heart of everything we do and KDLs create opportunities to use Knowledge to deepen our relationships with clients, ensuring that Knowledge is a driver for business and is used effectively to enhance our reputation. The KDLs in each Division report into the Knowledge Lead for that Division.

Where there is no Knowledge Lead, the KDLs report directly into the Director of Knowledge. This role sits within the Private Client Division, supporting Private Property across the UK and internationally and working collaboratively with KDLs in other Divisions, including in particular, the KDLs in Tax, Real Estate and Real Estate Disputes.

All KDLs are expected to contribute to Knowledge-wide initiatives and projects.
