Head of Knowledge Management at Addleshaw Goddard
Manchester, United Kingdom
As Head of Knowledge Management, I am responsible for finding, developing and promoting ways in which people in the firm can make the most of their own and other people’s knowledge. This allows me to work closely with a wide range of people across the firm, as well as with clients.
Before taking on this role, I was a Professional Support Lawyer in the firm’s Competition, Trade & Regulatory group, looking after the team’s know-how and training needs, and developing client relationships in the knowledge area.
Prior to joining Addleshaw Goddard, I was a Lecturer in Law at the University of Bristol (1989-2001) and the University of Hull (1988-1989), teaching undergraduate and postgraduate subjects including Public Law, Jurisprudence and EU Law.

My focus in this role is to promote the effective use of new practices and technologies to support knowledge sharing, leading to improved client service and talent development. Currently, I am leading the implementation of wikis and blogs for collaborative knowledge development and sharing, which also supports aspects of the firm's learning and client service strategies. I am also working on defined knowledge behaviours for adoption as part of process maps for key legal workstreams.
