Haynes and Boone KM Director Role: "AI-Ready Content Collections" and Ethical Wall Governance as Core Responsibilities
BY INSIDE PRACTICE · AUGUST 31, 2026 · 1 MIN READ
Haynes and Boone's Director of Knowledge Management posting specifies that leading development of practice-approved "gold content" and "AI-ready content collections that attorneys can trust and that approved AI tools can be used as reliable source material" is a core responsibility — alongside coordinating with Risk, Records, GC, IT, and practice stakeholders to ensure KM assets account for ethical walls, client-specific restrictions, and appropriate-use limitations. The role also requires working with Practice Innovation engineers and IT to "define requirements for AI-enabled legal workspace, intranet, search, and retrieval capabilities." Taken together, the Seyfarth and Haynes and Boone role descriptions represent an emerging new standard for the KM director mandate in 2026: data quality stewardship, AI-ready content curation, ethical wall governance, and platform architecture ownership — not document cataloguing or PSL management.
