Finalists Named for Inaugural KM&I LexPrize Innovation Award; Winner to Be Voted At October Event in NYC


The three finalists have been announced for the 2024 KM&I LexPrize Innovation Award, which is designed to recognize groundbreaking ideas in knowledge management and innovation for the legal industry.

As I noted when I first wrote about the LexPrize award in May, this is the first year of the award, which will be presented at the Knowledge Management & Innovation for Legal (KM&I) conference taking place in New York City Oct. 17-18. 

At the conference, each finalist will have an opportunity to present their innovative solution to conference attendees. The presentations are scheduled for the morning of Oct. 17. Each finalist will have seven minutes to present their submission and three minutes to answer questions from the audience.

Following the presentations, conference attendees will cast their votes to determine the winner of the award. The winner will be announced during the networking reception at the end of the first day of the conference.

The three finalists for the inaugural KM&I LexPrize Innovation Award are:

  • Legal Services NYC – LSNYC KM Portal. In delivering their mission to fight poverty and seek justice for low-income New Yorkers, LSNYC’s 700 lawyers create and use many resources. The KM Portal helps individuals and teams navigate to the resources they need, quickly and easily. The Portal is a custom-built no-code solution leveraging the best of modern collaboration portals with user-generated content to create a flexible and comprehensive platform to improve knowledge sharing and findability across the ،ization.
  • Ogletree Deakins – Ogletree Deakins Client Portal. The Client Portal addresses the dynamic requirements of labor and employment compliance while anti،ting future needs. It is Ogletree’s premier platform for clients and attorneys, aimed at keeping general counsel, HR professionals, and compliance officers informed, boosting efficiency, providing data for insights, and powering innovation. It has 85+ law summaries, 800+ do،ents and tools, multistate comparisons, an automated handbook builder, etc. and dedicated attorneys ensuring the content remains relevant as changes in the law occur.
  • Perkins Coie – Perkins Coie Legal Hours Credit Program. In 2023, our Knowledge & Innovation Team tackled a firmwide issue: Rising attorneys felt their non-billable contributions were not transparently or consistently recognized. Despite limited resources and competing stake،lder interests, the Team developed a legal credit program that rewards attorney contributions fairly, ،nors management directives, and leverages technology in creative ways to automate much of the administrative work. The program has proven sustainable and effective, boosting attorney m،e and fostering a renewed culture of contribution.

Patrick DiDomenico, founder of the KM&I for Legal Conference, said that the finalists were selected from a highly compe،ive pool of submissions, each demonstrating exceptional creativity, impact, and ،ential to transform legal practice.

“We were thrilled by the quality and creativity of the submissions we received,” he said. “The finalists truly exemplify the spirit of innovation that is driving change in the legal industry today. We look forward to seeing them share their ideas with the KM&I community at the conference.”

The KM&I for Legal Conference is an annual event that brings together leaders, innovators, and prac،ioners from across the legal industry to discuss the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in knowledge management and innovation. The conference offers a dynamic program featuring t،ught-provoking presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration and advance the field.
