The most successful law firms are those that are able to effectively capture and reuse lawyer knowledge, know-how and expertise. Given that almost all firms have access to the same external information resources to aid their business and their clients, the real competitive advantage that any firm has rests with its ability to capture and retain the knowledge and know-how that lawyers create, acquire and apply in the undertaking of client matters and schemes.

In a slower market, it is imperative that knowledge creation and capture is fully exploited to maximise any lawyer free time. And with increasing numbers of lawyers moving between firms, while capturing any new knowledge and know-how is extremely valuable, protecting existing knowledge and know-how from walking out of the door, through lawyers taking material with them or as a consequence of losing lawyer expertise, is essential for the competitiveness of the firm.

Managing Partner magazine’s Knowledge capture and retention in law firms conference will examine how best to create, capture and retain knowledge and know-how by hearing from those who are leading the way and driving innovation in this field. By delving beyond the theory deep into the practical application of what actually works and what doesn’t, delegates will leave this event inspired and armed with a wide range of practical ideas to implement in their own firm. Highlights include:

• Linklaters LLP; fostering a knowledge sharing culture where
lawyers regularly contribute without having to be constantly chased

• Goodwin Procter LLP; utilising the latest tools and techniques to
facilitate knowledge sharing, capture and retention

• Pinsent Masons LLP; conducting effective deal debriefs and
capturing post-matter expertise

• BCM Hanby Wallace; managing knowledge capture and retention
with lawyers joining and leaving the firm

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear the latest thinking and ideas to maximise your firm’s ability to capture and reuse lawyer knowledge, know-how and expertise
