WOW Legal Content

Eyebrow raise-worthy knowledge management

Impress your clients and stakeholders with Engaging Knowledge Management for busy legal teams

You know you should really create some knowledge management resources for your internal or external clients, but… you never seem to find the time!

Creating easy to read legal and compliance content for your team is a clear way to demonstrate a culture of compliance and increase legal knowledge for issue spotting.

Whether it’s topical legal issues like privacy, marketing, data breach advertising, Electronic Messaging / SPAM, or internal business rules around health & hygiene policies, codes of conduct or other key areas, we can help create engaging, easy to read, practical resources that you can use again and again.

You’ll save time and energy from re-working or trying to find previous advice. You can start to build a library of legal assets, adding value as a team and increasing the legal knowledge of the organisation.

You just pick the topic or area you are concerned about and send us relevant details (such as news articles, relevant contracts or examples, similar advice emails, etc). We then meet with you to understand the audience and purpose for the content and… in no time at all, you have some purpose built, WOW content to use and re-use.

Inclusions

  • Consultation & discussion to understand the audience and purpose for the content

  • Checklist and / or overview issue guide (branded for your organisation)

  • Social Media posts so you can build your teams’ brand within your organisation or on LinkedIn

  • Social videos – shareable and engaging to create clear impact and retention
