Why attend KM LEGAL 2009?
The economic downturn has impacted law firm knowledge management significantly with most of you experiencing substantial budget cuts and a considerably increased workload as you seek to capitalise on the opportunities a downturn presents.
Some of you are facing new challenges in determining business critical KM initiatives, reducing KM costs, maximising KM impact on a minimal budget, while all the time demonstrating value to protect your systems and staff from further budgetary constraints. Moreover, you're busier than ever before training lawyers on KM resources, utilising lawyers’ time to develop the firm’s know-how, and capturing valuable knowledge as lawyers are made redundant or redeployed.
Managing Partner’s 10th annual KM LEGAL event has been carefully designed to help you address these challenges to steer your firm through the pros and cons a downturn presents. Aimed exclusively at law firm KM professionals, this essential event - the largest in the industry - will demonstrate best practice from a range of leading firms to enable you to make the right business decisions over the next 12 months.
For 2009, brand-new sessions and speakers feature, including:
- US law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati: Maximising the impact and value of KM with a minimal budget
- Constellation Europe, BT Group Legal & Carillion plc: Exploring in-house counsel views on legal service delivery and KM support

- Managing knowledge at mid-tier firm Lewis Silkin LLP
- Simmons & Simmons: Strategies to reduce KM cost
- Olswang: Leveraging management, market and client information to safeguard the business and drive it forward
To accommodate differing needs and priorities, this event will feature streamed breakout sessions to enable you to tailor your learning and attend sessions in smaller, interactive groups. Plus, this year, there are more panel discussions to allow you to share and hear other's experiences with the rest of the group.
So don’t miss KM LEGAL 2009 for your ultimate guide to managing the downturn and ensuring the continued success of KM for your firm.
