AI Growth Infrastructure for law firms

Win more work, bill more of it, and hire for none of it.

Your ceiling is not a hiring problem. It is an infrastructure problem.

The enquiry that arrived at ten past six on a Friday. The follow-up nobody remembered. The hours your fee earners spend on work no client pays for. The time on a file that never reached an invoice.

I build the infrastructure that closes all four, wired into the systems you already run, deployed into your firm and owned by you. AI-native in 90 days.

The eight-minute walkthrough goes up shortly.

Nothing on this page waits on it. Everything in it is written out below. The questions underneath will tell you which of the three levels fits your firm, in about two minutes.

Eight minutes. No email required to watch it.

About two minutes. Most of it is one tap. No obligation, and you will get a straight answer either way.

The problem

Firms do not lose value evenly. They lose it at four points, in this order.

First

The front door

An enquiry arrives at ten past six on a Friday, or while everyone is in court, and it waits. You paid to attract that enquiry. Whether you capture it depends on who happened to be at a desk.

Second

The gap before instruction

Somebody meant to follow up. The ones that get chased are the ones somebody remembered, and nobody can tell you how many did not.

Third

Everything after that

Opening the matter, chasing documents, writing the same update for the fourth time, re-typing what already exists in another system. None of it is legal work, and all of it is done by people you hire to do legal work.

Fourth

The bill that never went out

Time recorded late or not at all, work in progress nobody is watching, an invoice raised a month after the work. The firm earned it. Whether it collects it is a separate question.

Why the last thing you bought did not stick

A tool sits beside your process. Infrastructure sits inside it.

Most firms are offered a tool. A chatbot, a drafting assistant, a transcription service. Someone has to remember to open it, so on a busy Tuesday they do not, and within about a month it is a thing you paid for.

Infrastructure is different. The work arrives inside it, moves through it, and leaves a record behind it. Using it is the easiest path rather than an extra step.

That is not a feature difference. It is a structural one, and it is why one thing gets adopted and the other quietly dies.

So the product is not agents. Agents are components. What gets built is the infrastructure that makes them behave as one system inside your firm.

What gets built

Five layers, built in the order a firm loses value.

Capture, convert and operate are the core, and they are where most firms stop. Revenue and intelligence sit on top of them, and only make sense once the three underneath are actually running.

Layer one

Capture

Every enquiry answered, qualified and routed, whoever is in and whatever the hour.

Layer two

Convert

Follow-up, booking, preparation and client communication that do not depend on anyone remembering.

Layer three

Operate

Matter opening, documents, client updates and the administrative load, off your fee earners.

Layer four Firm-wide build

Revenue

Time recording, work in progress, billing and payment follow-up, so the firm bills what it has already earned instead of writing it off.

Layer five Firm-wide build

Intelligence

Where the work actually goes, where the bottlenecks are and what capacity you really have, from your own data rather than a partner's impression.

Wired into the systems you already run
Your case management system, email and document store.
A record of what happened and who decided it
A by-product of the work, not assembled afterwards.
Your people trained, and written procedures
So it survives a staff change.
Deployed in your own environment
Your cloud, your accounts, source handed over.
90 days of my attention, not a handover
Included in every build. Nothing to pay at day 90.
No inflated value totals
You hear the number on the call. Judge it against your own.
What it is costing you

Work it out on your own numbers, not mine.

I will not quote you an industry statistic. Take one task your team repeats every week and price it. The figures below are an example until you change them.

That one task, over a working year
£34,560
4 hours a week × £180 × 48 weeks. Your figures, not my claim.

Then a second one, which has no arithmetic in it. Count last month's enquiries, and estimate how many did not get a reply within the hour. Multiply by your average matter value. That is the number sitting at your front door, and most firms have never worked it out.

How 90 days is possible

Each layer goes live before the next is built.

Not a build followed by a handover. You feel the first change inside the first month rather than waiting for one moment at the end.

Week 1

Diagnostic

I interview the people doing the work, not only you. I watch the work happen. I measure what it costs you today, and the week ends with what is being built agreed and signed off.

Day 30

Capture live

The front door is running. Enquiries answered, qualified and routed without anyone at a desk.

Day 60

Convert live

Follow-up and booking running, while capture is already in real use and being tuned on what your people actually do.

Day 90

Operate live, and the review

I re-run the week one measurements and hand you a written review against them, including anything that did not work.

That is the core rhythm. On a single-workflow build the same phasing applies to that one workflow. On the firm-wide build, revenue and intelligence are phased on top of the core three and the day-90 review covers all of it.

Three ways to do it

You choose the level of transformation. I work out the highest-value workflows within it.

Proof
One workflow
Fixed fee, one-time
1 to 8 fee earners

One workflow, the one costing you most, in whichever layer it turns out to sit. Made AI-native and permanently so. Not a trial and not a pilot.

PracticeMost firms
Core growth infrastructure
Fixed fee, one-time
9 to 25 fee earners

The first three layers built and connected as one system, wired into what you already run. The core growth infrastructure.

Partner
Firm-wide infrastructure
Fixed fee, one-time
26 to 50 fee earners

All five layers, so revenue and management intelligence come too, with the governance and firm-wide adoption programme a rollout that size needs.

Every level includes the 90 days. One price list, no discounts and no negotiated rates, and you will hear the number on the call rather than guess at it from a page. If it is wrong for your firm, we change the scope rather than the price.

Where the risk actually sits

I will not guarantee you a revenue figure. Here is what I will do instead.

The price cannot move

Fixed fee, fixed dates, agreed before anything starts. Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted and accepted by you before it is done. Nothing is added to your bill silently.

If week one says we are building the wrong thing, we build the right thing

You are buying a level of transformation, not one named workflow. If the diagnostic shows the thing we discussed is not the thing costing you most, we swap it. The fee and the dates do not move.

You are judged on your own numbers, and so am I

I measure where you are before anything is built, and measure the same things the same way at day 90. You get your own before and after, including what did not work.

And you own it

Pay once. It is deployed in your environment, on your accounts, with the source and documentation handed to you. No licence, no monthly bill to me, and no vendor who can raise your price next year.

Fit

This is not for every firm, and saying so saves us both an afternoon.

Read on if

  • You are an independent firm, roughly 1 to 50 fee earners
  • The person who runs the firm can decide without a committee
  • Demand is not your problem. What happens to it after it arrives is
  • Something specific went wrong recently that you keep thinking about

Do not bother if

  • You have an internal IT or innovation function. You do not need me
  • Two of your partners would describe the same process differently. There is nothing settled enough to build on yet
  • You want professional judgment automated. That is the line I will not cross
  • Nothing has forced the issue. It will not get the attention it needs
On proof

I will not show you another firm's system.

And I will not write a case study about a client I have not had. What I will do instead is make the work checkable, in two documents that are both about your firm rather than someone else's.

At the end of week one

A written analysis of how your practice actually works and what it costs you today, before a line of code is written. You sign off what gets built.

At day 90

The same standard turned back on me: a review measured against the numbers we took at the start, including anything that did not work.

What I will not do

The list keeps getting longer, and that is deliberate.

Straight answers

Questions I get asked.

How can you quote a price before you know what you are building?

Because you are not buying a particular workflow, you are buying a level of transformation: a defined set of the five layers, connected, with your systems wired in. The diagnostic week decides which workflows inside them. If the thing we discussed turns out to be the wrong one, we build the right one and the fee and the dates stay exactly where they are.

You want the whole fee up front?

For the two smaller levels, yes, and I will tell you why rather than dress it up. I am one person. If I start before payment clears, a firm that changes its mind costs me a month I cannot get back, and the firms that did pay are the ones who suffer for it. On the largest build I split it, half on signature and half when the first layer goes live at day 30.

What happens if you get hit by a bus?

Everything is deployed in your cloud, in your accounts, with your credentials, and you hold the source, the documentation and the handover pack. Any competent developer can maintain it. That is the practical difference between owning and renting.

Why not just buy a legal tech product?

Buy one where a product fits, and I will tell you when one does. Products are built for the average firm and your process is not average, which is why your staff are working around the last three tools you bought. The difference here is that the infrastructure is built to how your firm works and you own it afterwards.

What do I tell my insurer, or the regulator?

The right question, and most firms have not asked it. Every output is prepared for professional review, a named human signs anything requiring a decision, and the record shows who decided what and when. On the firm-wide build, the written answer to that question is one of the things I hand over.

Can you do it cheaper?

No. One price list, no discounts, no negotiated rates. A firm that got the price down would be a firm I had to take shortcuts on, and shortcuts in a regulated build become your problem. What I can change is the scope. If the level we discussed is the wrong size for you, we should be talking about the smaller one and doing one thing properly.

Do we have to take the 90 days? Just build it and go.

I would rather not, and you should want me not to. These programmes fail in week four, not week one. Something small gets in the way, one person goes back to the old method, and a month later it is a thing you paid for that nobody opens. I am staying until the thing you bought has actually happened.

Availability

I work with a small number of firms at a time, and that is not a sales line.

Every engagement carries 90 days of my attention. That is roughly ten firms a year, and never more than eight live at once. When it is full you are given a real start date rather than a slot. There is no countdown on this page and there will not be one.
