Knowledge Management
Knowledge Management is a particular area of specialism for us, with four of our consultants having headed up KM functions in law firms. This, alongside our experience of fee earning and fulfilling professional support/knowledge lawyer, innovation and quality management roles, gives us a perspective on what firms and fee earners need and the practicalities of delivering it.
