Knowledge and Innovation Attorney

Who We Are: Lowenstein Sandler is a one of the most sophisticated law firms in the United States, with over 400 lawyers and 300 business services professionals serving clients from offices in New York, Palo Alto, Roseland, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Wilmington. We recruit candidates who seek a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture that prioritizes our clients, our colleagues, and the communities where we work and live. Committed to career development and to a diverse and inclusive workplace, the firm offers many programs and opportunities for personal and professional growth. We seek professionals for our business services group who share these values. What You Will Do: Lowenstein Sandler is seeking a Knowledge and Innovation Attorney to help shape how legal work gets done at the firm. The role has a dual mandate: capture the firm’s know-how and turn it into precedents, practice tools, and structured, AI-ready data; and partner with attorneys to design and embed AI-enabled tools and workflows into daily practice. Reporting to the Director of Knowledge Management and Research, you will work across the firm’s transactional or bankruptcy and litigation practices to decide what knowledge is worth preserving, route it into the firm’s knowledge systems and data lake, and activate it through AI-assisted research and drafting. A trusted peer to practicing attorneys, the person in this role is a cornerstone of the firm’s Vision 2030 AI and data transformation initiative. Essential Job Requirements: Knowledge Capture & Precedent Development: Identify high-value precedent, work product, and matter data across the firm’s practices and route it into the firm’s knowledge systems and data lake. Debrief matter teams to harvest know-how, negotiated positions, market terms, and lessons learned. Distill negotiated documents into model forms, annotated precedents, clause banks, playbooks, and decision trees, and keep those assets current. Innovation & AI Enablement: Partner with practice group leaders to surface opportunities to improve workflows, quality, and client value; evaluate, pilot, and scale legal technologies from scoping through rollout. Design, test, and refine AI prompts and workflows for specific legal use cases, contributing to a firm-wide prompt library and workflow playbook. Embed AI tools – Harvey, Microsoft Copilot, and others – into day-to-day legal work, integrated with firm systems including iManage and Aderant. Support AI governance frameworks, usage guidelines, and quality assurance, and provide well-grounded recommendations on emerging legal AI. Training, Adoption & Collaboration: Deliver training, user guides, and adoption strategies for AI tools and knowledge resources; serve as a credible, approachable resource for attorneys navigating new tools. Partner with practice leaders to set knowledge priorities and drive adoption across the firm. Act as a bridge among attorneys, IT, Knowledge Management, innovation leadership, and vendors. Skills, Knowledge and Abilities: Required: J.D. from an accredited law school and active U.S. bar admission (any jurisdiction). 3–5+ years of substantive practice experience at a large law firm (transactional, bankruptcy, and/or litigation). Excellent drafting skills and the judgment to recognize which precedents, provisions, and data points carry lasting value. Experience with legal technology, AI tools, or innovation initiatives, and a practical understanding of law firm workflows and operations. Strong project management skills, with the ability to advance multiple workstreams through to adoption. Exceptional communication skills – distilling complex matters into clear, reusable knowledge and translating technical concepts for attorney audiences. Preferred: KM Experience: Prior experience as a knowledge management or practice innovation attorney, professional support lawyer, or comparable role. Legal Tech & Data Fluency: Familiarity with knowledge and experience management platforms, data lakes and analytics, and document automation. AI Fluency: Hands‑on experience with generative AI tools (Harvey, Copilot, Claude, or similar), including prompt engineering and tool evaluation. Collaborative Style: Builds trusted partnerships across practice groups and business services, influencing through credibility and responsiveness, not mandate. What Makes This Role Distinctive? This role is the firm’s engine for capturing what the firm knows and changing how the firm works – extracting the precedent and data that feed the firm’s data lake, then activating that knowledge through AI-enabled workflows attorneys actually use. The ideal candidate brings the credibility of a practicing lawyer, the judgment to know which knowledge matters, and a builder’s enthusiasm for making expertise reusable.
