The oldest advantage: law firms invented knowledge management. AI is making it a critical organisational capability.
25th November, 6pm | London — An evening with Futurice and Miro on the knowledge layer underneath legal AI, and the cultural questions that decide whether it works.
Why this conversation, why now
Law firms were managing knowledge long before anyone called it that. Precedent banks, know-how systems and professional support lawyers all rest on one idea: what the firm knows is worth more than what any single lawyer can do.
Legal AI has changed the tools quickly. In under three years, most of the market has settled on the same two or three platforms. They read documents superbly, but they can only work with what a firm has already captured, structured and kept current.
Much of what actually decides a matter never reaches a document: the client’s instruction on a call, the reasoning behind a position, what local counsel heard this morning. When every firm has the same tools, that knowledge is what sets a firm apart.
What we’ll explore
Futurice and Miro will open with a practical framework for building the layer underneath the tools:
- Capture: recording context where the work happens, not after the fact.
- Share: turning personal knowledge into something the whole firm can use.
- Apply: using that shared context to get work done.
A short opening, then over dinner, an open conversation among peers who are working through the same questions.
** The event will be held under the Chatham House Rule. **
