Frequently asked questions
What is a legal technologist
A professional who blends legal process, technology, and change management to improve how legal services are delivered.
How do legal technologists help Scottish firms specifically
By aligning tools and workflows with local court practices, devolved law nuances, and common PMS/CMS used by Scottish firms.
Which projects deliver the fastest ROI
Document automation for repeat work, client intake triage, and matter-workflow standardisation typically pay back quickest.
Should we start with AI or fix foundations first
Foundations first. Clean data, mapped processes, and secure permissions make AI safer and more effective.
How do we measure success
Cycle time per task, time to open new matters, utilisation, write-offs, client satisfaction, and error rates.
What skills should our internal champion have
Process mapping, stakeholder facilitation, data fluency, and the authority to make decisions about change.
Do we need vendor neutral advice
It helps when shortlisting and negotiating. Independent advisors reduce bias and uncover hidden costs.
How long does a typical CMS migration take
Three to six months for small to mid-size firms depending on data cleansing, integrations, and training cadence.
What security questions should we ask
Encryption at rest/in transit, audit logs, admin controls, pen-testing cadence, incident response, and data residency.
Where can we research the tools
Start with our guides to AI for law firms and case management platforms, then request vendor demos using scenario scripts.
