NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 31, 2026) – Latitude, a globally ranked flexible legal staffing company that provides law firms and corporate legal departments with former in-house and Big Law attorneys for sophisticated contract and permanent legal roles, announced today that Anne McKnight has been promoted to Vice President of Talent.
Since joining Latitude in 2022 as a Director of Legal Recruiting and Placement in the company’s Nashville office, McKnight has played a key role in helping grow Latitude’s network of highly experienced attorneys and matching them with sophisticated contract engagements at leading legal departments and law firms.
As Vice President of Talent, McKnight will oversee Latitude’s global talent strategy, talent processes, and candidate experience, while supporting the company’s talent teams across its regional corporate offices.
