Initial Discovery & Needs Assessment

We start by engaging with key stakeholders to understand current workflows, pain points, and technology gaps. This phase includes interviews, process mapping, and data analysis to identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement.

Stakeholder Interviews: Engage with legal leadership, attorneys, paralegals, legal operations, IT, procurement, and other key stakeholders to understand their challenges and goals.

Current State Analysis: Assess existing legal technology, workflows, pain points, and inefficiencies.

Gap Analysis: Identify areas where technology could improve efficiency, compliance, collaboration, or cost savings.

Defining Objectives & Strategy

We establish clear goals based on our department’s challenges and business priorities. By aligning our technology strategy with corporate objectives, we define success metrics and build a business case to justify the investment.

Set Clear Goals: Establish measurable objectives, such as reducing contract turnaround time, improving legal spend management, or enhancing compliance tracking.

Align with Business Strategy: Ensure the transformation aligns with broader corporate goals, IT policies, and regulatory requirements.

Build a Business Case: Develop a cost-benefit analysis to justify the investment in technology.
