About

Aileen leads a team of lawyers, research and technology professionals who work closely with and within our practice areas. Knowledge plays a critical role at every stage of the client journey, shaping not only the quality of the advice we give, but also how that advice is delivered. This includes the thoughtful and practical use of evolving technologies, alongside deep legal expertise, to enhance insight, improve efficiency and support consistent, high-quality delivery.

Knowledge brings strength and depth to the relationships we build with our clients and across our network. Aileen and her team encourage and enable lawyers to think creatively and to take a long-term view - anticipating and identifying the opportunities and challenges that clients will face in a changing legal and business environment.

She has a strong track record of implementing knowledge strategies, building and leading high-performing teams, and delivering complex, cross-functional projects.
