What We Do
Six Core Capabilities
Specialist services designed for law firms undertaking system change or needing technology leadership.
Fractional CTO / IT Director
Experienced IT leadership for law firms that need strategic direction without hiring a full-time CTO. We provide board-level technology strategy, vendor management, budget oversight, cyber governance, and team mentoring. Whether you need an interim IT Director or ongoing fractional CTO support, we deliver senior accountability with hands-on capability.
Legal Case, Practice Management & Financial System Development
Specialist development across Proclaim, Clio, Actionstep, Tessaract and Efimis. Structured system design, workflow architecture, automation and reporting that improves operational performance.
Integration & Automation
Systems should connect. Where they cannot, automation removes manual work. API integrations, workflow automation, and performance dashboards.
Robotic Process Automation
Intelligent automation using Power Automate and Toca.IO. Eliminate repetitive manual tasks, reduce errors and free your teams for higher-value work.
Power BI
Transform your firm's data into real-time commercial intelligence. Interactive dashboards, automated reporting and a single source of truth across all systems.
CMS/PMS Replacement
Replacing your CMS/PMS is high-risk. We bring structure, control and commercial focus to system audit, migration planning, vendor evaluation, and go-live.

System Transformation & Process Redesign
Challenge
A 200+ user firm was running an outdated, heavily customised CMS with no structured workflows, inconsistent data entry, and limited MI. Staff workarounds had become embedded and reporting was unreliable.
Approach
Conducted a full system audit, mapped existing processes against best practice, and led the redesign of case workflows, automation rules, and reporting dashboards. Managed the migration to a modernised platform with minimal disruption.
Outcome
- 40% reduction in manual administrative tasks
- Real-time MI dashboards adopted at board level
- Staff onboarding time reduced from 3 weeks to 5 days
CMS Replacement & Vendor Selection
Challenge
A multi-office conveyancing firm needed to replace a legacy system that could no longer support growth. Previous attempts at migration had stalled due to poor planning and vendor misalignment.
Approach
Led a structured vendor evaluation, produced a weighted scorecard, and managed the end-to-end replacement programme including data migration, workflow configuration, integration mapping, and go-live support.
Outcome
- Successful migration completed on time and within budget
- 3 third-party integrations delivered at launch
- Zero post-go-live data issues reported
Fractional CTO & IT Strategy
Challenge
A growing firm had no senior IT leadership. Technology decisions were reactive, budgets were uncontrolled, and there was no strategic roadmap. The internal IT team lacked direction and vendor relationships were poorly managed.
Approach
Appointed as Fractional CTO to establish governance, build an IT roadmap, mentor the internal team, and take ownership of vendor management, cybersecurity posture, and budget planning.
Outcome
- IT budget reduced by 22% through vendor renegotiation
- 12-month technology roadmap adopted by the board
- Cyber Essentials Plus certification achieved
