Four engagement types that cover the life of a legal technology decision, from the first vendor demo to the system running in production.
Buy
Choose the right tools, on your terms.
Independent selection for firms buying legal technology: what you actually need, which vendors deliver it, and what the contract should say about your data.
A fixed-scope engagement that ends with a written recommendation you can act on. We take no vendor referral fees, so the shortlist is yours, not ours.
What you get
Needs assessment across practice groups
Market scan and shortlist
Scripted vendor demos on your matters
Contract, data and AI-terms review
Rollout and change plan
Build
Build what the market does not sell.
Custom intake, document automation, AI-assisted workflows with verification gates, and the integrations that tie them to the systems your firm already runs.
We build the way we build our own products: code owns the workflow and the rules, the model supplies judgment and language, and nothing dispositive reaches a page without a check. You own the code.
What you get
Client intake and interview flows
Document assembly from structured facts
AI workflows with human review gates
Practice-management, DMS and e-signature integration
Source code delivered to you
Run
Managed services for the systems you rely on.
Hosting, monitoring, updates, backups and support for what we build or what you choose, including open-source platforms like BigLaw, on infrastructure you control.
A monthly service with a defined scope and response times. Your data stays in your environment; we operate it, you keep the keys.
What you get
Deployment on your cloud or on-premises
Monitoring, patching and backups
Model-provider and cost management
Access control and audit trail
Support desk for your staff
Advise
Technical leadership without the headcount.
Strategy, roadmap, AI governance and build-versus-buy decisions for firms and legal teams, on retainer or for a defined project.
Retained or project-based. Useful when the firm needs someone technical in the room for decisions that will outlast any single vendor.
What you get
Technology roadmap and budget
AI use policy and risk review
Build-versus-buy analysis
Vendor negotiation support
Fractional CTO on retainer
How an engagement runs.
01
First conversation
Email us. A first conversation to understand the problem, the firm and the constraints. You leave with our read on it.
02
Scoped proposal
A written scope with deliverables, timeline and price. Fixed where the work can be fixed; monthly where it is a service.
03
The work
Selection, build, deployment or advisory, with a named point of contact and written checkpoints.
04
Handover or run
Code and documentation delivered to you, or the system operated for you under a managed-service agreement.
