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.

Managing Partner, BLM

We have worked with the team at 3Kites since 2009, engaging their consultants on various initiatives ranging from project management to interim IT Director and many others in between. The team has grown over the time that we have worked together but retains the strong values that convinced us to work with them in the first place.  As Managing Partner, I particularly appreciate their no-nonsense, honest approach to work as I know that I can trust them to consider the needs of the business above any software or services provider that we might be working with or considering.  They have a deep understanding of the legal sector and will take the time to get under the skin of our business to identify what is needed - they are happy to roll their sleeves up one day and innovate the next where this is called for.  Trust is a word often used cheaply but here, in relation to 3Kites, it is well deserved.
