Legal technology advisory
We help law firms and legal departments make sense of a fast-changing technology market and decide what's actually worth doing.
Every vendor says its platform is the one you need, and the options multiply faster than anyone can evaluate them.
The decisions are expensive and hard to undo, and they land on teams that already have full-time jobs.
Projects stall when strategy, vendors and the people doing the work aren't pulling in the same direction.
Our services
Most of our work starts with a decision someone has to make. We help you make it well, and then help it hold up in practice.
Before you look at products, it helps to be clear about the problem you're solving and what good looks like for your people. We help you set requirements, understand what the market actually offers, and narrow the field to options that fit how your firm or department works. You end up choosing from a short list you understand, rather than from whoever called last.
Typical work
New tools only help if they fit the work. We look at how matters, documents and requests actually move through your organization, and identify where automation or AI could reasonably help and where it would only add noise. The aim is a realistic view of what's worth trying, in what order, and what it depends on.
Typical work
Most technology projects succeed or struggle after the contract is signed. We help bring structure to the rollout: planning, coordinating with the vendor and your internal teams, and keeping the focus on whether people actually use the new system. We stay close to the project so issues surface early, while they're still easy to address.
Typical work
This card is for legal technology companies. We help vendors understand how legal buyers think, sharpen how they describe what they offer, and find the firms, departments and partners where it fits best. It's shaped by years of selling technology into legal organizations, and seeing what makes buyers say yes.

How we work
We bring a direct, experienced perspective to decisions that can otherwise become drawn-out, expensive, or disconnected from the people doing the work.
Tell us what you're weighing, what's already been tried, and what's at stake for your people. We listen before we suggest anything, and you leave the conversation with a clearer sense of the real question.
We sort the options, lay out the trade-offs plainly and recommend what's worth doing first. You get a written plan you can share with your partners, executive committee or general counsel.
The decision is yours, and you make it with a clear view of the choices. If it helps, we stay involved through selection and rollout, so the plan carries through into the work.
Our partners have spent years selling to, advising and working with legal organizations. We know how technology gets bought in legal, and how it gets used once the contract is signed.
We focus on what your organization can realistically take on, with the people and time it actually has.
We've spent our careers around law firms and corporate legal departments, so we start from how matters and documents really move, not from a product brochure.
We tell you what we see, including when the answer is to wait or do less.
Technology decisions you can explain, defend and stand behind.
Without a clear view, it's easy to spend a year and a budget on the wrong thing.
For technology companies
We work on both sides of the market: with legal organizations navigating change, and with technology companies seeking a sharper way to serve them.
Legal buyers are careful, busy and skeptical of sales pitches. We work with a small group of hand-picked technology companies, chosen for their legal tech experience and the quality of their product or delivery, and help them reach the firms and departments where they fit. For some, we act as part of their sales and business development team.
With a conversation. You tell us what you're weighing, and we tell you honestly whether and how we can help. If it makes sense to continue, we agree a scope in writing before any work begins.
Law firms and corporate legal departments working through technology decisions, and legal technology companies that want to serve them better.
It depends on the question. Some are a focused piece of advice; others run alongside a selection or rollout. We'll set out the expected shape of the work at the start.
No. Many clients want help with the decision and then carry on with their own teams or vendors. We can stay involved if that's useful.
We represent a small group of hand-picked technology companies, chosen for their legal tech experience and the quality of their product or delivery. We tell clients about those relationships up front, so you can weigh our advice with them in view.
We'll discuss scope and fees after the first conversation, once we understand what you need.
