The role
This is an opportunity to join our global Knowledge and Training function ( K&T function ) as a Knowledge Lawyer supporting our London Tax team.
Clifford Chance is one of the world's leading law firms. Clifford Chance's vision is to be one of the elite global law firms and we aim to achieve this through a focus on client service excellence. The K&T function drives quality, consistency, efficiency, and innovation across Clifford Chance, producing better-trained fee earners, supported by gold-standard knowledge resources. We use tools that leverage firm-wide knowledge and artificial intelligence (AI) to create competitive advantage through smarter, more complex, more accurate and more efficient legal work.
Our London Tax team works on a wide range of market leading transactional and advisory matters, providing advice across international and domestic tax issues.
You will be responsible for ensuring that relevant fee earners have legal knowledge and knowhow at their fingertips, with a particular focus on keeping abreast of UK and international tax developments relevant to London Tax fee earners. You will be the "go to" resource for the Tax team for relevant legislative developments, be responsible for designing, coordinating and delivering training, as well as template maintenance and production. You will also play an important role in internal knowledge sharing, thought leadership and client briefings. You will work closely with our fee earners to ensure that relevant legislative, regulatory, transaction and advisory knowhow and insights are collated, analysed and shared within the Tax team and other global product groups, as appropriate.
Who you will work with
You will work primarily alongside the partners and fee earners in our market leading London Tax team. As part of our global K&T function, you will work collaboratively with Knowledge Lawyers and information specialists across our global network.
You will also work closely with our Thought Leadership function, Business Development, Marketing and Communications, PR and other business professional teams on the preparation of external-facing materials.
