Specialist infrastructure, AI and security consulting for London legal practices. Private AI for contract review and document drafting, secure document management, matter-platform integrations and SRA-aware compliance — designed around how fee earners actually work. Independent since 2020. 25+ years in IT infrastructure.
Your fee earners spend 2–3 hours a day on tasks AI could do in minutes — contract summarisation, client updates, precedent research, case summaries. But sending client data to ChatGPT or Google Gemini is a non-starter. SRA expectations, client NDAs, privileged communications — none of it survives a public AI provider reviewing your inputs.
Meanwhile, your IT setup is probably a mix of Microsoft 365, a practice management system, a document management system, and remote-access patches applied in 2020 and never revisited. That’s a compliance risk, a productivity tax, and — increasingly — a client-retention risk.
Contracts, witness statements, counsel’s opinions, settlement discussions — all privileged, all sensitive, none of it can leak. Most firms I audit have no formal policy on AI tool use, meaning fee earners are already pasting client content into public LLMs. That stops immediately with a private deployment.
Copilot for M365 can transform how your lawyers draft, summarise and search — but only if it’s deployed with your precedent library, firm tone, and matter context. Generic rollouts fail. Tailored deployments save 2–3 hours per fee earner per day.
SharePoint, iManage, NetDocuments, OneDrive, old network drives — often all running in parallel because no-one has cleaned it up. I consolidate, secure, and integrate with your matter platform so documents live in one place with proper retention and audit.
Client confidentiality, data retention, cyber-security standards, incident response. Your IT setup needs to survive an SRA review or a Lexcel audit without scrambling. I build compliance-ready architecture from day one — documentation, logs, MFA, backups, the lot.
Three pillars, integrated. Designed around how UK law firms actually operate — not retrofitted from a generic SMB template.
Microsoft Copilot configured properly for your firm, plus self-hosted LLMs for contract review, bundle summarisation, and privileged research — running inside your infrastructure. Training for fee earners in plain English. No client data sent externally, ever.
SharePoint or iManage properly configured with retention, classification, and matter-level permissions. Full-text search across your precedent library. Version control that actually works. Handover documentation for your knowledge-management team.
MFA everywhere, firewall hardening, endpoint detection, audit logging, secure backups that survive ransomware. Documentation for SRA review. Incident-response plan you can actually execute. All sized and priced for 5–150 user firms, not enterprise.
Independent since 2020. All current client work delivered under confidential contracts. Past project experience includes senior infrastructure roles at The Shard, Chelsea FC, Silverstone Racing Circuit, Manchester Arndale and Ealing Council. References available on request.
Free 20-minute strategy call to diagnose. Paid scoping session if we progress. Written scope and fixed fee before any work starts. Weekly check-ins throughout. Full documentation — network diagrams, runbooks, credential vault, training — on handover. No vendor lock-in. Optional monthly retainer for ongoing strategic support.
Typical engagement: 4–6 weeks for Copilot rollout with precedent library integration. Larger programmes (iManage migration, private-AI deployment, M365 overhaul) run 10–20 weeks. Emergency interventions can start in days. See the full process →
