If you peruse the LAC Group blog, you’ll see many articles on the growing need for law firm librarians to demonstrate their value.

My colleague Ron Friedmann, a highly-respected expert in legal technology and knowledge management, recently presented on how law firm research and intelligence centers can contribute to firm profits. This was at an ARK (Applied Research & Knowledge) Group hosted conference, Best Practices & Management Strategies for Law Firm Library, Research & Information Services. LAC Group was a sponsor.

Goals for law firm research and intelligence professionals

  1. Prompt research and intelligence professionals to think about ways they can align with firm strategy and boost firm profits.
  2. Systematically rank their options according to relative ease and value.
