Corporate Knowledge Management and Innovation Attorney - Boston, New York

The Corporate Knowledge Management & Innovation (KM&I) Attorney plays a strategic and operational leadership role in advancing how the Corporate Section captures, structures, and leverages its knowledge, data, and technology. This role partners closely with practice leadership, attorneys, and cross-functional teams (Innovation, IT, Business Development, Professional Development) to design and implement scalable knowledge solutions that improve efficiency, consistency, and client service. The KM&I Attorney is responsible for shaping and executing key initiatives across legal content management, experience data, and practice technology adoption. The ideal candidate brings both prior corporate transactional experience and demonstrated hands-on experience leading or managing knowledge management, legal innovation, or practice support initiatives. This is not an entry point into KM — the role requires a candidate who can independently lead KM initiatives, partner credibly with attorneys, and execute against established KM and innovation priorities. Primary Responsibilities: Knowledge Strategy & Content Management • Lead the development and ongoing management of the Corporate Section’s knowledge infrastructure, including forms, precedents, checklists, and practice resources. • Establish and drive governance processes for form creation, review, updating, and retirement. • Partner with attorneys to identify high-value content and ensure materials reflect current market practice and firm experience. • Oversee organization and accessibility of knowledge assets across firm systems (e.g., iManage, intranet, KM platforms). • Develop frameworks for precedent identification, tagging, and reuse. Experience Data & Insights • Partner with Business Development, Practice Management, and Innovation to improve capture and usability of deal and experience data (e.g., Foundation and related systems). • Help define and refine matter taxonomy, metadata, and data standards to support reporting, pricing, and AI-enabled use cases. • Identify opportunities to leverage structured data to improve precedent discovery, benchmarking, and client-facing insights. Technology & Innovation • Evaluate, pilot, and support rollout of practice technologies (e.g., document automation, AI tools, knowledge platforms). • Act as a strategic intermediary between attorneys and internal teams to ensure tools align with real practice needs. • Collaborate with Innovation, IT, and vendors to improve integration, usability, and adoption of core systems (e.g., Harvey, Copilot, iManage, Foundation, Kira, Closing Folders). • Surface opportunities to streamline workflows and reduce inefficiencies through technology and process design. Training, Adoption & Engagement • Drive adoption of KM resources and tools through targeted outreach, training, and ongoing support. • Design and deliver practical training sessions, playbooks, and quick-reference materials tailored to different attorney audiences. • Present updates and insights at practice group meetings and leadership forums. • Partner with Mintz’s Professional Development team to align KM initiatives with onboarding and training programs. Process Design & Practice Support • Identify and standardize key transaction workflows, incorporating best practices into checklists, templates, and guidance materials. • Support efforts to improve consistency in drafting, deal execution, and knowledge sharing across the practice. • Collaborate with Practice Management and other stakeholders to clarify ownership of key processes and resources. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Leadership • Serve as a connector across Corporate, Innovation, IT, BD, and other business teams to align KM initiatives with firm strategy. • Contribute to broader firm initiatives related to data strategy, AI adoption, and knowledge infrastructure. • Provide project leadership for KM&I initiatives, including planning, stakeholder alignment, and execution. General • Provide ongoing support to attorneys on knowledge resources, tools, and workflows. • Monitor usage, gather feedback, and continuously improve KM solutions. • Perform other KM&I responsibilities as assigned.
