Legal Tech & AI for Law Firms
AI does not replace a lawyer. Used well, however, it takes over preparatory work that currently takes many hours: drafts, summaries, comparison tables, the first review of a stack of contracts. With our AI consulting for law firms we show where artificial intelligence makes sense for lawyers and where it does not, with which tools and under which rules — and we train the people who work with it.
What sets us apart
- 1We also tell you where AI brings nothingIn our experience, software projects in law firms often fail because of wrong expectations and unclear requirements. AI is no different. Because we know the internal and external processes of law firms, we tell you where it pays off — and where it does not.
- 2Confidentiality firstBefore a tool is introduced, it is settled which documents may be uploaded to it, which may not and who checks the results before they leave the firm. Your firm makes the decision — we make sure it is made consciously and recorded in writing.
- 3In legal tech since 2007, not just since ChatGPTWe have been developing legal tech software and advising law firms on digitalisation since 2007. So we know not only the theory but also the effort of introducing software in law firms. Law Business Managing Partner Alexander Dillinger is regularly interviewed as an expert on legal tech.
- 4Training on your real tasksWe do not practise with textbook examples but with tasks from your daily work — using anonymised documents.
- 5Only for the legal sectorSince 2004 we have advised exclusively law firms and patent attorney firms.
Our legal tech & AI services
AI readiness assessment
Where does AI pay off in your firm?- We review your processes by practice group and by individual lawyer, not only for the firm as a whole.
- The result is a prioritised list of tasks where AI is likely to save time, with an order in which to proceed.
- We state just as clearly where AI brings no benefit or is a risk.
Tool selection
General AI or specialised legal tool?- We compare tools against your requirements, not against the vendors’ marketing claims.
- This covers general AI assistants as well as legal tech solutions built specifically for law firms.
- We support the roll-out and translate your requirements into concrete specifications for vendors and developers.
AI policy for the firm
Tools, documents, approvals- We work with you on the organisational framework of an internal rule for AI use: which tools, which documents, which approvals.
- It also sets out who checks AI results and how this is documented.
- The legal assessment in each case remains with you — we make sure the rule is practicable in daily work.
Training and coaching
Live online, as a team or one-to-one- AI for lawyers, hands-on: we train partners, lawyers and staff in using AI — from framing a task to checking the result.
- Formats: live online team training, one-to-one coaching, implementation on request.
- We offer dedicated training for ChatGPT, Claude Cowork and Legora.
Implementation
Processes, interfaces, Microsoft- We set up recurring processes so that each task follows the same pattern, test them with you and hand them over ready to use.
- Our own IT team programs interfaces to existing legal tech solutions or to your office software.
- For Microsoft environments we work with Microsoft specialists.
Visibility in AI answers
Being found in ChatGPT and similar tools- The other side of AI: when prospective clients ask AI systems about law firms, their answers influence which firms become visible.
- We measure whether and how your firm appears there and work on it.
- More: SEO and AI visibility.
We will quote prices for the individual services after the initial meeting.

Frequently asked questions about AI in law firms
Does AI replace legal advice?
No. AI speeds up preparatory work — drafts, summaries, comparisons. The legal assessment and responsibility for the result remain with the lawyer. That is why every roll-out needs a rule on who checks AI results.
May client documents go into an AI system?
That is your firm’s decision, and we do not take it for you. We show which settings and contract terms the tools offer, how access is restricted and how to record your decision in an internal AI policy.
Do law firms have to train their staff in AI?
Under Article 4 of the EU AI Act, providers and deployers of AI systems shall take measures to support the development of AI literacy of their staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf. This does not require them to guarantee any specific level of AI literacy of any individual. The article was amended by the so-called Digital Omnibus — you can find the current wording at the European Commission’s AI Act Service Desk. Whether and to what extent your firm is affected is for you to assess; training is one practical way of supporting AI literacy.
Which tools do you work with?
We recommend the tool that fits your firm. We offer dedicated training for ChatGPT, Claude Cowork and Legora; which tool suits your firm is clarified in the tool selection.
What does AI consulting cost?
That depends on the scope and size of your firm. After a free initial meeting you will receive an individual offer.
