The first independent magazine designed specifically for knowledge managers in the legal profession
The very business of law is based on knowledge, and there has been a growing realisation among law firms, large and small, that it is one of their most important assets, which must be managed accordingly.
As the publisher of leading law-firm management magazine Managing Partner and the original knowledge management publication Inside Knowledge, Ark Group has now turned over 10 years of expertise towards producing a new and highly practical magazine. KM Legal will specifically serve those people working within law firms to develop, promote and maintain a knowledge sharing culture that makes a significant contribution to the profitability and efficiency of their firm.
Case studies, workshops, interviews and profiles contribute to a resource that will pass on the tools, knowledge and expertise you require to achieve the significant benefits of an effective knowledge management (KM) strategy. Benefits include:
- Increased efficiency – reusing know-how created elsewhere in the firm and not ‘reinventing the wheel’;
- Improved quality of information – up-to-date, consistent and technically correct know-how is essential for avoiding risk in legal business as well as developing a firm’s reputation and brand;
- Preservation of the firm’s knowledge – mitigating the problem of lawyers taking their individual skills and knowledge with them when they leave the firm;
- Skill-sharing – pooled knowledge resources enabling senior lawyers to delegate more to junior lawyers, enabling senior lawyers to concentrate on higher value work or practice-development activities;
In every issue KM Legal magazine finds out which methods are working and which are not so you can benchmark your own strategies against those of your competitors and ensure the long-term success of your KM strategy and, in turn, your law firm.
All this is done under the expert guidance of a highly qualified editorial board, including:
- David Jabbari, global head of know-how, Allen & Overy LLP
- Juliet Humphries, consultant and former director of KM at Linklaters, Pierian Spring Consulting
- Duncan Ogilvy, KM partner, Mills & Reeve
- Simon Witney, professional service partner, SJ Berwin LLP
In one of the fastest evolving and most dynamic areas of business effective knowledge management can offer you a vital edge over the competitors. KM Legal will deliver the tools and expertise you need to implement and manage a successful KM strategy.
