The Knowledge & Information Services Assistant will support the firm’s Knowledge Lawyers and the lawyers in the capital markets group worldwide. They will be responsible for capturing knowhow and developing our internal knowledge collections, managing our external resources (online and in print) and guiding users, responding to queries and supporting resources training.

Key responsibilities and deliverables

Knowledge & Insight capture: Ensuring knowledge insights and knowhow from client mandates are captured (e.g. alongside Knowledge Lawyers in line with relevant practice area processes).

Current awareness (internal and external facing): supporting the creation and sharing of updates, insights and commentary on legal, regulatory and market developments - this may involve conducting research, collating materials, tracking cases, legislation or other developments or key topics (which may support the production of external facing content such as blogs, briefings and client presentations), drafting summaries and updates (incl. first drafts for external/client facing updates or K materials and internal updates) and maintaining topics pages on our Knowledge SharePoint

Knowledge collections management: Collating and maintaining our internal knowledge collections, including uploading knowhow and tagging (adhering to our global standards and governance protocols), creating and maintaining topics pages, reviewing and curating materials - this requires the ability to understand, abstract and disseminate key information about the relevant knowhow (with guidance from relevant Knowledge Lawyers).

Information on resources: Maintaining and updating information on relevant SharePoints and other tools used to house and disseminate information about our internal and external resources.

Research & signposting: Helping users orient their own searches, including directing them to specific internal or external resources, and responding to queries from lawyers in the practice groups or other business services colleagues; this will involve (where appropriate) researching and locating sources and commentary from internal and external resources (including confirming if sources are available), answering simpler queries outright and seeking guidance from Knowledge Lawyers or more senior members of the Knowledge & Information Services team on more complex requests as needed. Signposting users to relevant materials (incl. sign-posting to any user guides and password re-set guidance to access external materials).
