Knowledge & ReSearch

---

It is no longer the preserve of large law firms to possess legal knowledge management teams or professional support lawyers. It is possible for smaller and medium-sized law firms to get help here too.

Legal Knowledge Management is the practice of capturing, storing and sharing knowledge within a law firm or other legal environment. Technology is important here as an enabler here, but there is no need to invest in expensive knowledge systems if your budget does not allow it initially. Even for a start-up, the knowledge management mentality is important to get right from the word 'go'. Documents and other types of knowledge assets must be saved in a system that can be searched and accessed by other members of the legal team. 

Over the years, we have helped in the following ways:

• prepping law firms who want to migrate to a KM solution tool
• assisting solopreneur lawyers or fee-sharing consultants to build their own personal KM systems
• library management
• providing current legal information or news alerts to legal teams 
• researching on points of law, finding precedents, case law, legislation or critical business research
• projects involving the indexing and tagging of content
• advising on intranet systems or practice portals
• developing legal taxonomies 
• developing internal knowledge-capturing and knowledge-sharing practices

We can also provide training on knowledge management skills and implement workflow systems for your team.
