Frequently asked questions
What is a legal technologist
A specialist who blends legal process, technology, and change management to improve how legal work is performed and delivered.
Where should a firm start
Begin with a short discovery to map current workflows, identify data sources, and agree target outcomes for a three-month pilot.
Which projects deliver quick wins
Document automation for repeat work, client intake triage, standardised matter workflows, and MI dashboards for leaders.
How is success measured
Cycle time, time to open a matter, billable utilisation, write-offs, client satisfaction, and error rates are common metrics.
Do we need AI now
AI can deliver gains, but foundations come first. Clean data, mapped processes, and secure permissions make AI safer and more effective.
How do we manage risk and governance
Create a lightweight governance group, publish acceptable use guidelines, and review vendor security and data flows before rollout.
What skills should an internal champion have
Process mapping, stakeholder facilitation, data fluency, and decision making authority to unblock change.
How long does a CMS migration take
Three to six months for small to mid size firms depending on data quality, integrations, and training cadence.
Do we need vendor neutral advice
It helps when shortlisting and negotiating. Independent advisors reduce bias and uncover hidden costs.
Where can we research tools and approaches
Start with our guides to AI for law firms and case management platforms, then request scenario based demos.
