Snapshot
About this engagement
A regional law firm with 200 staff across multiple practice groups was approaching AI adoption for the first time. Operating in a highly regulated environment with strong partner scepticism, they needed expert guidance to cut through the noise and identify where AI could create genuine, compliant value - without disrupting client confidentiality or professional obligations.
Challenge
What we were asked to solve
A regional law firm needed to understand where AI could create genuine value without disrupting client confidentiality or compliance obligations. Partners were sceptical, and the IT team lacked the expertise to evaluate options independently.
Solution
How we approached it
We ran a 6-week discovery and strategy engagement, conducting 24 stakeholder interviews across practice groups to map AI use cases against effort, risk, and business impact. We produced a prioritised opportunity register and a phased adoption roadmap.
Thirty-four prioritised AI use cases were identified across five practice areas. The board signed off on Phase 1 implementation within three weeks of the final presentation, and the firm began vendor selection the following month.
