Neudesic Pulse: Like a Law Firm’s Private LinkedIn
This post has been viewed 3,046 times.
A challenge for large law firms is keeping tabs on their talent. Which lawyers have which skills and knowledge? Who are the go-to partners or associates for specific problems or issues? The larger and more dispersed the firm, the more difficult this becomes. Lateral comings and goings only further complicate the problem. A firm may house skills and expertise that others in the firm are unaware of or unable to identify.
What if a firm could have a searchable, LinkedIn-like directory, accessible only internally, as a way of capturing and managing information about its lawyers’ skills and proficiencies? That is the idea of a new product, The Firm Directory, introduced earlier this month at LegalTech New York by Neudesic Pulse. (I was given a demonstration of The Firm Directory but have not directly used the product.)
Much like LinkedIn, the basic building block of The Firm Directory is the bio. But the template for the bios here is specifically tailored to the legal industry. Lawyers can list their practice areas, legal skills, bar admissions, court affiliations, clients, billing rates, publications, work experience, education and honors.
