Technical & AI Consulting for Law Firms

Straight Answers on AI, and the Rest of Your Firm's Tech

Where AI genuinely helps and where it quietly creates risk. Plus your marketing budget, your office network, the software you are about to buy, and what to leave alone.

Every firm is being sold AI right now, mostly by people who have never had to keep a client confidence. But AI is one question on your desk, not the only one. The marketing budget that grew without anyone checking what it buys. The office network nobody has looked at since the move. The software renewal due next month. The two systems that refuse to talk to each other. We answer all of it in plain English, from people who run a law firm's technology every day.

There is more noise around AI in legal right now than in any other part of the industry, and almost all of it is coming from people with something to sell. That makes it genuinely hard for a firm to work out what is real. It is also not the only decision on your desk. The same firm being pitched an AI assistant is renewing a practice management licence it half uses, paying a marketing invoice nobody has questioned in a year, and running an office network that was last looked at on moving day.

We are useful here for a boring reason: we run a law firm's technology every day, we build with these tools on our own publication and on client work, and we do not resell anybody's product. There is no commission riding on the answer, so the answer can just be the answer.

Confidentiality Is the First Question, Not the Last

Most AI advice aimed at law firms treats client confidentiality as a compliance checkbox at the end of the pitch. It is the first thing we look at, because it is the one that ends careers. Some of what is being marketed to firms right now should not have client material near it, and knowing which is worth more than knowing what is fastest.

What the Wrong Bet Costs You

The expensive mistakes in legal technology are not the cautious ones. They are the confident ones, made in a room where nobody present had a duty to the client.

Client material in the wrong tool

The one category of mistake that cannot be taken back once it has been made. It is being sold to firms every week, by people with no duty to your clients and no exposure if it goes wrong.

A platform nobody used after month two

Bought on a demo that impressed everyone in the room, quietly abandoned the moment it met how the firm actually works on a Tuesday. The licence usually runs for another year.

Paying twice for the same capability

A new subscription that turns out to repackage something already sitting unused in the stack you pay for today. Nobody selling you the second one is going to mention the first.

Straight Answers, Not a Vendor Pitch

We do not resell anyone's product and we take no commission, so we have no reason to tell you that you need something.

Where AI saves real hours, and where it must not go

Task by task. Which jobs in your firm automation gives back real time on, and which ones should never have client material anywhere near them. Confidentiality draws that line, not what a tool is technically capable of.

The pitch on your desk, read properly

AI or otherwise. Send us the proposal before you sign it and we will tell you whether it is a real capability, a wrapper, or a rebrand of something you already pay for, and what it will actually cost once the introductory year ends.

Your marketing budget, line by line

What each dollar is buying, what is being measured, what is not, and what to stop paying for. We sell marketing too, so when a recommendation would put money in our pocket, we say so out loud.

Your office network and the machines on it

The Wi-Fi that drops in the conference room, the backup nobody has tested, the remote access held together with a sticky note. We look at how the office actually runs and tell you what is fine, what is fragile, and what is a risk to client data.

What to run and what to replace

Not every question on your desk is an AI question. Which systems are worth keeping, which are quietly costing you, what ought to be talking to what, and where the same job is being paid for twice.

The basics that protect your clients

Who can see what, whether logins need a second factor, whether the backup restores, and what happens the afternoon a laptop goes missing. None of it is exciting, and all of it is the difference between an incident and a disclosure.

What This Actually Is

You have sat through a consultant before, so it is worth being exact about what you would be getting and what you would not.

What it is

  • A free call first, about what is not working, what you are being pitched, and what you are about to spend money on.
  • A look at how your firm actually runs: the systems, the network, the subscriptions, the duplicate work, the things your staff quietly work around every week.
  • A straight read, item by item, with confidentiality drawing the line rather than what a tool is technically capable of.
  • Something you can hand to a partner: what to do, what to wait on, and what to leave alone.

What it is not

  • A software licence with a consultant attached to it.
  • A retainer that has to find something new to recommend every month to justify itself.
  • A reseller relationship. We take no commission from any vendor, so nothing in the recommendation moves depending on which way it goes.
  • A rip-and-replace project, pitched before anybody has looked at how your week actually goes.

If what comes out of it is that you should carry on exactly as you are, that is a finished piece of work and you owe us nothing further.

We Run This, Not Just Opinions About It

The person you talk to has run the day-to-day technology of a working law firm for over thirteen years. The network and the phones, the case management system, the backups, the vendor renewals, the marketing spend and the staff who have to live with all of it. When we say a platform gets abandoned by month two, it is because we have watched it happen from inside the building, not read about it in a case study.

There is also a live AI feature on this site. Our settlement calculator talks to a real model, in production, in front of the public, and you can go and use it right now.

What matters for this page is not that it exists. It is what had to be built around it before it could be turned on: a scrubber that strips personal details before anything leaves the building, a hard cap on what it is allowed to spend, rate limits, a filter for input that has no business being there, and a switch that turns the whole thing off in one move.

None of that is interesting to demo and all of it is the actual job. It is also the reason our advice on confidentiality is worth more than an opinion: we have had to build the brakes, on our own money, before letting a model near anybody.

Including "Leave That Alone"

A consultant paid to recommend technology will always find technology to recommend. We would rather tell you that a process is working fine as it is, because the alternative is selling your firm a project that makes everyone's week worse.

We have also watched several of these tools fail, on our own work rather than in a case study, and we remember which ones.
