Alex Chernishev (Head of Practical Law Banking and Finance) and Skye Balasingham (Senior Writer) discuss their experience of first using Practical Law when working as lawyers for international law firms in the UK. In this broad ranging discussion, Alex and Skye reflect on how Practical Law is used day-to-day within the Banking & Finance teams of large UK firms and how it interacts with the knowledge management function within such firms. They also discuss the differences they observed in the way Australian law firms approach knowledge management.
