Description
The dynamic of how law firms provide legal services is changing and clients are requesting new approaches. Are you meeting those needs? Does your firm have a client-facing or an idea for one? Join us to discuss the ins and outs of the role knowledge management (KM) plays in developing and delivering client-facing solutions to your clients. In this virtual roundtable, we'll hold an open conversation on topics such as:
- Types of services KM can develop for clients
- Pricing these solutions
- Promoting the concept among your attorneys
- Finding resources to develop and deliver
- Does it detract from the traditional law firm business model? How do you mitigate that sentiment?
