The posting

Join Goodwin’s Global Operations Team, and make a real impact on a global scale. At Goodwin, we work with some of the world’s most successful and innovative investors, entrepreneurs and disruptors in the life sciences, private equity, real estate, technology and financial industries, and where they converge. As part of the Global Operations Team – all business professionals at the firm – you’ll collaborate with colleagues from varied backgrounds and experiences, fostering an environment where cross-functional learning, networking, and collaboration are at the core of what we do.

Here, we’re not just supporting a law firm; we’re partnering with attorneys and clients to deliver cutting-edge solutions in high-stakes litigation and dispute resolution, world-class regulatory compliance and advisory services, and complex transactions. Our commitment to integrity, ingenuity, agility, and ambition drives us, and we’re proud to have been recognised as the “Best Business Team” by The American Lawyer.

This is your opportunity to grow professionally in a dynamic, global environment, surrounded by forward-thinking peers.

As the Knowledge & Innovation Lawyer focused on UK corporate transactions, you will be a member Goodwin's global Knowledge & Innovation (K&I) department and serve as a resident knowledge expert on general corporate and M&A legal issues in relation to corporate governance, equity investments, private M&A transactions, and corporate reorganisations. Working as an embedded Knowledge & Innovation Lawyer, you will work closely with practice leaders and will draw upon your legal expertise and prior experience to support these practices by providing the highest quality legal content and know-how for our UK practitioners.

What You Will Do:

  • Create, develop and maintain model documents, forms, precedents, checklists, and other substantive content for the practices, ensuring such content is up-to-date and readily accessible on the firm’s intranet and other content sharing platforms.
  • Serve as a source of legal, market and practical expertise; identifying and collecting key data points of equity investments and M&A transactions for statistical analysis and post-deal assessments, benchmarking and market trends.
  • Monitor and inform the practices of important relevant legal developments; supporting the research, writing and publication of external client alerts on such developments.
  • Participate in established corporate transactional training initiatives, including internal associate and trainee training sessions, client workshops, and other firm educational training programs.
  • Work with the K&I team to develop solutions to increase efficiency, enable legal project management and improve legal service delivery; such as GenAI template building, document assembly packages, AI due diligence procedures, expert systems and client-facing applications.
  • Participate in K&I team meetings to facilitate the sharing of best practices and knowledge, and perform such other duties as requested by the K&I department.
  • Participate in corporate transactional business development efforts through thought leadership initiatives, client seminars and pitches, to elevate the awareness and value of this work and the firm’s K&I program.

Who You Are:

  • England & Wales qualified solicitor.
  • Previous experience in a knowledge management or professional support lawyer role preferred.
  • 6+ years’ practicing experience in a leading city firm with a strong reputation in corporate law, including experience managing, structuring and negotiating mergers and acquisitions for private equity and venture capital clients.
  • Passion for knowledge-sharing, efficiency and excellence in legal work.
  • Interest in working with legal technology, such as artificial intelligence, document and workflow automation, and collaboration platforms.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
