KNOWLEDGE OFFERING


There are several strands to our client knowledge offering which may be of interest to our clients and, in particular, client legal teams:


  • Our Knowledge Lawyers provide weekly client updates on legal developments through the Knowledge Bulletin as well as more in-depth and bespoke content though KnowledgePlus.


  • Our Knowledge Lawyers are available to talk with clients about new legal or regulatory developments, including developments or changes that are in the pipeline.


  • They are also happy to work with client legal teams to develop knowledge management solutions to help legal teams better manage their own legal know how, standard documents, precedents, transactions documents and other business or legal information that is relevant to their needs. They also offer legal training to clients on topics that may be of interest.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SERVICES


Readers of this year's report will find a summary of key trends in the areas of knowledge management and systems from our Client and Knowledge Solutions Manager.


Our Knowledge and Client Solutions Manager, Celine Kelly, has significant expertise in the assessment and development of knowledge management services, such as search tools and knowledge repositories. In collaboration with other members of the team, she can advise you on the best-fit knowledge solutions for your business.


LEGAL RESEARCH ADVICE


Our Knowledge Centre team is also available to provide guidance on the best legal resources available and support clients in building up their own know how and research divisions.


We also work with client legal teams to develop knowledge management and systems solutions tailored to optimise their own research and know how operations.
