Launched in July of 2015, Cadwalader’s new intranet, Cadwalader Connect, was conceived by the firm’s Knowledge Management Initiative Team, comprised of Cadwalader lawyers and other professionals. The platform integrates tools and data, new technologies and new processes to create a convenient access point for many of the firm’s systems.

“The firm identified the need for a knowledge management system that enhances our ability to address clients’ needs and that supports our culture and coordination through improved internal communication,” said Patrick Quinn, Cadwalader’s Managing Partner. “Cadwalader Connect allows us to leverage powerful tools to efficiently manage our business, strengthen internal and external relationships, provide efficient access to data, and deliver exceptional legal services to our clients.”
