Legal Technology Strategy & Advisory
Aligning legal technology investments with organisational strategy, risk appetite, and real-world outcomes.
Legal teams are under increasing pressure to do more with less while navigating rapid advances in technology and AI, growing regulatory complexity, and heightened risk expectations.
Everingham Legal provides legal technology strategy and advisory services to help in-house legal teams and law firms make confident, risk-aligned technology decisions and ensure those decisions actually deliver value.
How It Works
Everingham Legal helps legal teams design, select, and embed technology in a way that supports how they actually work (today and into the future).
Our services focus on:
aligning technology investments with organisational goals
calibrating legal and technology risk appropriately
avoiding costly missteps in procurement and implementation
ensuring technology adoption translates into measurable outcomes
This is not about buying more tools. It’s about making the right investments and making them work.
Our Approach
Our legal technology advisory work is governance-first, vendor-neutral, and outcomes-focused.
-
We begin by understanding:
organisational strategy and growth priorities
the legal team’s objectives and constraints
risk appetite across data, regulation, operations, and reputation
This ensures technology decisions are made in context.
-
Before engaging the market, we help clients:
define clear requirements and success criteria
establish decision frameworks and evaluation metrics
identify where legal risk should be controlled (and where it can be accepted)
This avoids reactive procurement and reduces long-term cost and friction.
-
We support legal teams through:
vendor market analysis and shortlisting
structured evaluations and scorecards
proof-of-concept design and oversight
contract oversight aligned to intended use and governance
Our role is to accelerate delivery while reducing risk, not to slow decisions down.
-
Technology only delivers value if it is used well.
We help clients:
embed governance, policies, and controls
improve adoption and user experience
align workflows, data, and reporting
measure outcomes and ROI over time
This is where many technology investments fail (and where we spend most of our time).
Our Service Modules
Our legal technology strategy and advisory services are commonly delivered as:
project-based engagements (e.g. technology selection, rationalisation, AI readiness)
program-based support (e.g. multi-phase transformation or roadmap delivery)
light-touch advisory retainers for senior legal leaders
We tailor each engagement to reflect the client’s maturity, risk profile, and objectives.
-
