We have an exciting new opportunity available for an experienced lawyer with a strong breadth of knowledge across the Property and Real Estate arena (both commercial and residential). The Knowledge Lawyer opportunity is a rewarding position that would be ideal for a Lawyer who is looking to move away from fee earning work and get involved in strategic transformation projects across Knowledge Management and Property teams.
You will work within a multi-disciplinary KM team on firm-wide projects and in supporting key stakeholders within the property practice areas to identify, develop and deliver strategic support to drive the growth of the business.
This role offers a competitive benefits package that includes Private Healthcare, Income Protection, Company Pension Scheme, 26 days annual leave (rising to 29 days annual leave after 2 years) and 8 bank holidays, additional Christmas leave and more.
You could be working remotely and based out of any of our offices, providing support to all CW offices with some travel necessary, particularly at first as you build relationships and knowledge of your practice group.
We welcome applications from full time or part-time candidates and offer a degree of flexibility to suit you. We can offer between 21 to 30 hours per week spread over 3, 4 or 5 days – although flexibility from you would be helpful. You will be the sole Professional Support Lawyer (PSL) for the division, but you will have support within the wider Knowledge Services Team, and you’ll report into the Head of Knowledge and the Practice Area head.
Who we are
You’ll be joining a national law firm that enjoys a strong reputation, made possible by our exceptional people – each chosen for their industry knowledge and passion for their field. We want to help you to reach your full potential, love the work you do and deliver the best results for your clients. It’s our goal to make you feel great about working with us, and we work hard to cultivate a culture that makes it easy for you to stay with us for many years.
We work flexibly and you’ll be empowered to work where you do your best work, balancing your individual needs with the need for us to engage as teams and deliver excellent client service.
Most of our people choose to work in a hybrid fashion, working from home and attending our offices on occasion. Our offices are in Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff, London, Manchester, Southampton, and Taunton.

You will be an independent thinker with a commercial, pragmatic, and proactive approach.
The role includes:
Support implementation of KM strategy
Legal Knowledge Support
