Knowledge Management in Law Firms

Chapter 6 in Financial Crime and Knowledge Workers, 2014, pp 107-122 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Law firms exist because they can coordinate collective learning more efficiently and effectively than individual lawyers can. In particular, if organization-specific knowledge is required to perform a task, using the external market becomes increasingly inefficient since an external supplier would first have to adopt this knowledge before being able to perform that task (Dibbern et al., 2008). This is in line with the knowledge-based view of the firm, which is the theoretical perspective applied in this book.
