Khiliad Legal

Run more matters
with the same team.

Most firms add AI to the old way of working. We change the work itself. We build case management systems around how your firm runs, take the admin off your fee earners, and bring in AI your partners can stand behind.

For law firms of 15 to 80 fee earners in the UK, Ireland and Europe.

  • Within three working daysa working prototype, from a free half-day review.
  • Twelve prioritiesfound in three weeks, for a litigation firm.
  • 20 to 30%projected more capacity for that firm, without new hires.

Start with half a day.

A free business and technology review. We spend half a day with your partners and the people who run the matters, looking at how the firm works, the systems it runs on, and how AI is used.

  1. Half a day with you.

    Free. We look at how matters really run and where the time goes.

  2. A written note within three working days.

    What we found, what we couldn't see in half a day, and roughly what fixing it would cost. If your case management system is the problem, a working prototype of your own workflow comes with it.

  3. You choose what happens next.

    Start on something yourselves, or take one of the three ways below. Every step after this is priced before it starts, and you can stop after any of them.

Then one of three ways. One team throughout.

A system built around your firm.

Your case management system is slow, clunky or missing what you need, and the vendor won't change it.

  1. Prototype. Within three working days of the review, you see your own workflow working on screen, before you've paid anything.

  2. Scoping. £3,000 to £4,000. We refine the prototype with your fee earners and fix the price.

  3. Build. Usually £30,000 to £70,000, fixed, in three to four months. Migration included. You own it.

Screenshot of the working prototype

A firm on a slow hosted system saw its own workflow on screen within three working days of its first session with us. Scoping started the following week.

Take the admin off your fee earners.

Your case management system is fine, but opening matters, chasing documents and answering update calls still eat hours.

  1. Prototype. Within three working days of the review, you see it working on screen, before you've paid anything.

  2. Scoping. £3,000 to £4,000. We refine the prototype with your fee earners and fix the price.

  3. Build. Usually £15,000 to £30,000, fixed. You own it.

The Assessment alongside put this kind of work in a litigation firm's roadmap: a client portal, website enquiries straight into case management, and reporting on caseload.

Get more from what you already have.

You're not sure what to fix first, AI is used without clear rules, and nobody has the full picture.

  1. Assessment. If the note shows you need the full picture first. £2,000 to £4,000, fixed. Two to four weeks. An honest score and a roadmap.

  2. The work that follows, if you want us to do it. Switch on what you already pay for, automate the admin, and bring AI in safely, with the policy, training and supervision around it. Scoped at £3,000 to £4,000, then a fixed price.

A litigation firm across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland: twelve priority opportunities in three weeks, and a projected 20 to 30% more capacity without new hires.

What an Assessment found.

A specialist litigation firm across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

The firm was profitable and the team was capable. But the principal was the decision point for every new matter, and knowledge lived in people's heads rather than in the systems. Three weeks later, the finding was clear: technology wasn't the problem. Discipline, governance and structure around the existing tools were. So the roadmap starts with the systems the firm already owns.

Projected over 24 months

20 to 30%
more capacity, without new hires
£150,000+
a year of capacity freed up across the firm
50 to 80%
fewer routine client update calls
£0.5m to £1m
projected valuation uplift at exit
“What I got from Khiliad was clarity, a coherent picture of the firm and a clear sense of what to tackle first, which is genuinely hard to do from the inside.”

You work with the two founders.

Most technology companies approach legal as an opportunity. We approach it as a profession one of us came from, and an industry the other has spent thirty years building technology for.

Why firms work with us.

A lawyer and a technologist on every engagement.

The legal and the technical sides sit at the same table, on every decision your firm has to make.

No product to sell.

We don't own a software product, so the recommendation can be to use what you have, buy off the shelf, build, or do nothing yet. We're paid for the work, not for licences.

Fixed prices, plain English.

Every step is priced before it starts, so your budget is predictable. No monthly retainer, no hourly billing, and reports your partners can actually read.

Where your client data goes, in writing.

Fee earners are already using AI, with or without a policy. These are the commitments we make on every engagement, so your firm can show oversight, not just claim it.

Hosted in your region.

In the UK for UK firms, and in the EU for Irish and European firms. It sits in a cloud account your firm owns, or on your own servers.

Never used to train AI.

We only use AI providers whose terms rule that out, with regional processing wherever the provider offers it. We tell you in writing which provider, where it processes data, and on what terms.

Covered by contract.

A data processing agreement with us and with every provider we bring in, and a data protection impact assessment where the work needs one.

Oversight you can show.

Checking and sign-off steps are built into the work, so you can show a client, an insurer or your regulator who checked what. Governance is mapped to ISO 42001, the international standard for managing AI.

Tested and insured.

Every system we build is independently penetration tested before it goes live, and we carry professional indemnity insurance.

Nothing depends on us.

You own the code and the data from day one, and it's all documented, so any competent developer can take it over.

The questions partners ask first.

What does it cost?

A first conversation and the half-day review are free. An Assessment is £2,000 to £4,000. Scoping any build or follow-on work is £3,000 to £4,000. Case management builds usually cost £30,000 to £70,000, at a fixed price agreed before we start. Smaller builds, such as a client portal or automating matter opening, usually cost £15,000 to £30,000, also at a fixed price. There's no monthly retainer, so there are no surprises in your budget. After that, running it yourselves costs about £3,000 a year, or our support is usually £10,000 to £15,000 a year, less for smaller systems.

How long does it take?

You see a prototype within three working days of the half-day review. An Assessment takes two to four weeks, depending on the size of the firm. Case management builds typically take three to four months, migration included.

What happens after the half-day review?

Within three working days, you get a written note: what we found, what we couldn't see in half a day, and what we'd do next. If your case management system is the problem, it comes with a working prototype and a likely price range. Then you choose: start on something yourselves, have us scope one piece of work, or take an Assessment if you need the full picture first. If nothing is worth doing yet, we say so.

Do we have to buy anything afterwards?

No. The note from the review, the Assessment report and the roadmap all stand on their own, and the scope from scoping is yours, whoever builds it. If the review shows that building isn't right for your firm, we say so, and that's the end of it.

What happens to our client data?

It stays yours. It's hosted in your region, never used to train AI, covered by contract, and tested. The commitments above are the detail.

What happens if you disappear?

The code and the data are yours from day one. Every system is built on a mainstream technology stack, documented, tested, and run in your own cloud account. Any competent developer can pick it up. Nothing depends on us.

Do you work outside England and Wales?

Yes. We work with firms in the UK, Ireland and across Europe, and check the rules that apply where you practise.

In-house legal team? The same ways in work for you. Policy has to sit alongside the wider business, and tools have to fit the company's systems and procurement rules.

Arrange a conversation

Not sure which way in?

A first conversation costs nothing. We'll tell you where we'd start, and if the answer is not yet, we'll say so.
