Find out where your firm actually stands.
AI readiness is not about having the right tools. It is about knowing whether your data, your people, your processes, and your governance are ready to make those tools work. This assessment tells you honestly where your firm stands and what needs attention.
A short self-assessment you can complete in about 10 minutes. We review your answers and send you a personalised, human-written response within 24 hours. No cost. No obligation. Just an honest first look at where your firm stands.

Instead it feels like risk.
Most firms we speak to are not struggling because they chose the wrong tools. They are struggling because no one has ever stepped back and looked at the whole picture from a legal practice perspective.
AI is already in your firm, but ungoverned
Your fee earners are using ChatGPT, Copilot, or other tools day-to-day. There is no written policy, no supervision framework, and no senior individual accountable for how AI is used. The SRA Code of Conduct for Firms already requires effective governance structures to be in place. Supervising AI output is the same professional obligation as supervising any other work done in the firm’s name. Most firms are exposed and do not yet know the shape of that exposure.
Decisions without a clear picture
Vendors are selling you AI platforms. Your competitors seem to be adopting something. Clients are beginning to ask questions. But you cannot see what is genuinely useful, what is hype, and what the right sequence of decisions actually is.
Time lost to work that AI could handle
Document review, precedent searches, attendance notes, compliance reporting. Your fee earners are spending hours on tasks that AI can do in minutes. But without knowing where to start, the opportunity stays theoretical.
No independent voice in the room
You do not have a CTO or a head of technology who works for you, not for a vendor. Every recommendation you receive comes with something to sell attached. You need an honest view. Not another pitch dressed up as advice.
A clear picture.
An honest opinion.
A plan you can act on.
We look at how AI and technology are actually used in your practice, not how they appear on paper. Then we tell you what is working, what is not, and what to focus on first.
AI tools and systems review
A clear map of every AI and technology tool your firm is using or paying for, how they fit together, and where the gaps and overlaps are. We look at how things actually work in practice, including tools people are using informally without a policy in place.
Workflow and efficiency analysis
Where your fee earners and support staff are spending time on tasks that AI could handle. Where knowledge sits in people’s heads rather than in accessible systems. Where the firm is slower than it needs to be and why.
AI opportunity assessment
An honest view of where AI would genuinely save time, reduce cost, or reduce risk in your specific practice. And where it would add complexity without adding value. We will not recommend AI if simpler improvements would deliver more.
Regulatory and governance review
The governance piece is often the most urgent finding. We assess how your current AI use maps against SRA obligations under the Code of Conduct for Firms and UK GDPR requirements. We identify where you are exposed, who in the firm should carry accountability for AI oversight, and what a written policy and risk register for your specific practice would need to cover. For firms considering ISO 42001 certification, this review forms the foundation of that work. For firms that are not, it still tells you plainly what you need to put in place and what is proportionate for your size and risk profile.
Market benchmarking
How your firm’s AI maturity compares to similar practices. Where you are ahead of the market, where you are behind, and what that means for your competitiveness and your exposure to client or regulatory pressure.
Prioritised roadmap
Not a hundred recommendations you will never act on. A short, clear set of priorities: what to address first, what can wait, and what is not worth doing at all. Actionable whether you work with us afterwards or not.
The expensive guesswork
Most firms make AI decisions based on what vendors tell them, what they read in the legal press, or what they hear other firms are doing. This assessment gives you an independent view from someone with no product to sell and no reason to recommend complexity for its own sake.
Most firms are more exposed than they think
The governance review is frequently the most important output of this assessment. Firms rarely have a clear view of which AI tools are in use, who is accountable, or whether their current practice meets SRA expectations. The assessment maps this precisely and tells you what needs to change, in what order, and to what standard.
See our governance service →Technology that scales with you
If you are planning to open a new office, take on lateral hires, or move into a new practice area, the right AI and technology foundation makes that growth cleaner and less reliant on key individuals. This assessment shows you where investment genuinely supports the plan.
Evidence you have acted
If the SRA comes asking about your AI governance, or a client asks how you manage AI risk, this assessment gives you documented evidence that you have taken the question seriously and acted proportionately. That matters more than you might think.
Simple process.
Minimal disruption.
We work around your schedule. Most of the work happens on our side. We need access to the right people and a view of how the firm operates. No heavy preparation required.
Scoping conversation
We talk through your firm, your practice areas, and what is driving the assessment. We agree a scope and confirm the fixed price before anything starts.
Discovery and review
We review your policies, documents, and existing practices. We interview partners and staff to understand how work actually flows through the firm. This is where most of the work happens.
Analysis and benchmarking
We assess what is working, what is not, where time and money are being lost, and how your AI maturity compares to similar firms. Opportunities are evaluated honestly against your specific context.
Report and roadmap
You receive a clear written summary of findings and a prioritised set of recommendations you can act on. Whether that is with us, another supplier, or internally.
A good fit if this sounds like your firm.
We typically work with established law firms of 5 to 100 fee earners. The firms we work best with want a clear, honest picture of where they stand on AI and current technology before making decisions that are difficult to reverse.
