Our lawyer, Aoife who we are running a seminar with tomorrow sent us a link earlier showing how one law firm, DLA has launched an internal social network

Its called "Inside the Tent", and allows future trainees to spend time getting to know colleagues.

The value and key reasons for them doing this (as gleaned from the press) are:

- it allows DLA’s graduate recruitment team to communicate more easily with its future trainees.

- The team will post regular updates, as well as news about the firm, and advertise forthcoming firm events and social activities.

- It will be great for the environment as the firm will not have to send out paper based mail-shots to its future lawyers anymore.

We will be tracking this as its good to see other companies adopting new web techniques for communication and collaboration, and ties very much to what we believe in and the work that we are doing helping companies to engage with web based collaboration.
