I recently joined Ella Thomas on the IPI Insights podcast to talk about my journey from clinical negligence litigator to knowledge management specialist and entrepreneur — and why I think more lawyers should be paying attention to KM.
We covered a lot of ground in 34 minutes, including:
- What knowledge management actually is, and why it matters for law firms and in-house teams
- My own career transition from law into KM and entrepreneurship
- Why KM is such a distinctive niche within the legal sector
- The case for better business education for lawyers — and what a “mini MBA” for the profession could look like
- How to write a business case that actually gets read (and funded)
- Leadership models, including why I think servant leadership makes organisations more profitable
- In-house vs private practice, and what marks out a high-achieving in-house lawyer
- What I’ve learned from failure and rejection along the way
If you’ve ever wondered how knowledge management fits into a legal career — or you’re weighing up a move from fee-earning into something more strategic — this one’s for you.
