Angela delivered a talk in KMP2P about her experience of KM in law firm back in November 2013.  She is very busy but she is very supportive to our this program.

Law firms are extremely busy.  We can imagine there would be a lot of papers around in her office, yet I am sure most of it are confidential, and each single words can be a significance in their works.  Executing knowledge management in a law firm could be something really different, and would have a lot of unforeseeable difficulties.  We hope she can share with us how she practice KM in such an environment, and how she overcome all the difficulties.
