FAQ
How is Nemos different from my professional email or document system? Professional communications and formal documents belong in your firm's systems. Nemos captures your personal professional reasoning — the layer of judgment and knowledge that makes those documents and communications effective.
Can I use Nemos for cross-matter reference research? Yes — general legal research, industry intelligence, and professional knowledge notes (not matter-specific confidential content) are appropriate.
What about notes from professional association meetings? Industry trends, peer practice observations, and professional development insights are appropriate.
Is Nemos good for solo or small firm practitioners? Excellent — independent practitioners often need personal knowledge management most, without the institutional support of a large firm.
What about notes from client development activities? Relationship context notes and business development observations are appropriate. Client confidential information belongs in your matter management system.
Can I share notes with colleagues? Professional knowledge notes (research, frameworks, general observations) can be shared. Be careful not to inadvertently include confidential client information.
