What Legal Services Businesses Can Expect

We measure success by real business outcomes, not feature lists. For legal services businesses, the key metrics are:

Billable hours recovery: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Matter turnover: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Client retention: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Tech adoption in legal services is at the medium level. About half of legal services businesses now use some form of digital tools. But most are using off-the-shelf products that only partially fit. Custom software built around your actual workflows is the next step.

Typical investment: $2000-5000. Most legal services clients see measurable ROI within the first month.

How We Work with Legal Services Clients

Discovery. You tell us about your legal services business: what is working, what is not, and what you wish you had. We ask about your current tools, team size, and daily workflows.

Scoping and quote. We define exactly what we will build and send you a fixed-price quote. No hourly rates. For legal services projects, this usually falls within $2000-5000.

Build. We build your solution, typically within 1 day to 4 weeks. You talk directly to our founder and lead engineer. No project managers or middlemen.

Launch and handover. We deploy, walk your team through everything, and provide ongoing support. You own all the code and data.

What features should a Consulting have for Legal Services?

The features depend on your specific needs, but for Legal Services businesses we typically recommend starting with the essentials and adding from there. We will help you prioritise what matters most during the scoping process.

How is this different from consulting with McKinsey or Deloitte?

We are a small studio, not a big consultancy. You work directly with the founder who builds AI products every day. No junior analysts doing the research while a partner presents the findings. The advice is more practical, more technical, and significantly less expensive. You will not get a hundred-slide deck. You will get a clear plan.

Do you work with non-technical founders?

Absolutely. Most of our consulting clients are business owners and executives who are not technical. We explain everything in plain language and focus on business outcomes rather than technical jargon. If you need technical depth, we can go there. But we never assume you want it.
