McKnight to Oversee Global Legal Talent Strategy as Company Continues Growth

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.

“Anne has been an outstanding member of our Nashville recruiting team and a trusted partner to both our clients and Latitude Attorneys,” said Candice Reed, Executive Vice President and Partner in charge of Latitude’s Tennessee operations. “Her background as a practicing employment lawyer, combined with her experience working closely with attorneys and legal teams, gives her a deep understanding of what Latitude’s clients are looking for when it comes to staffing their teams. We’re thrilled to see Anne step into this leadership role and help guide our talent strategy as Latitude continues to grow.”

Before joining Latitude, McKnight practiced employment law at Ogletree Deakins Nash Smoak & Stewart, P.C., where she advised clients on complex workplace issues, conducted internal investigations, and defended employment claims in state and federal courts and before governmental agencies.

“I’ve really valued the opportunity to work closely with our attorneys and clients over the past few years,” McKnight said. “I’m excited to build on that foundation in this new role—supporting our teams and continuing to strengthen how we connect great lawyers with meaningful opportunities.”

A native of Kentucky, McKnight earned her J.D. and B.S. from the University of Kentucky.
