The technologies available to lawyers are evolving remarkably quickly. Traditional case and practice management systems are being replaced by intelligent automation and low/no-code platforms. These tools are transforming how lawyers work – and the pace of change is accelerating.
We stay ahead of developments and guide firms to make confident, informed choices.
There’s a lot to learn. It will take time to adapt and modify working practices to make the most of these opportunities. What was once exclusive to top-tier firms is now accessible to most. As a result, law firms can streamline operations, improve client service, and strengthen compliance.
Although the full impact of AI-enabled systems will be felt in 2026 and beyond, the need to act now is clear. Firms that adopt advanced technology today will gain an edge over those that hesitate.
A key enabler of this shift is the emergence of truly low-code and no-code platforms with built-in AI. Unlike earlier solutions that required technical expertise, these platforms allow firms to build and integrate workflows quickly- without heavy IT support. This speeds up digital transformation and improves efficiency in ways that weren’t possible just a year or two ago.
AI-powered automation can streamline document drafting, billing, conflict checks, and due diligence. In turn, this frees up time for high-value client work and can cut drafting time by up to 50%.
Seamless system integration removes inefficiencies caused by disconnected systems. It enables real-time data and better collaboration. However, it’s important to be cautious with APIs – their capabilities vary widely.
Firms that start now will be ready to seize growth opportunities in 2026. The months ahead – free from holidays – offer a great window to lay the foundations for success.
Technology is advancing quickly. New tools emerge almost weekly, making it hard to know which direction to take. That’s where external expertise helps.
Delaying adoption of AI and low/no-code platforms risks falling behind. Early adopters will benefit from greater efficiency, stronger client relationships, and improved profitability.
We work closely with law firms to explore and harness the power of AI and low/no-code technology. Our experience spans technology, legal practice, and business operations.
