Rationalising Legal Tech for Maximum Impact
Most legal teams have more technology than they realise, which delivers less value than they should. Over time, point solutions, legacy systems, and overlapping platforms accumulate. Each tool was justified at the time, but together they create complexity, cost, and confusion.
At Everingham Legal, we help GCs and Law Firms rationalise their legal tech stack by identifying what to keep, what to consolidate, and what to retire.
But the exercise isn’t just about cutting software, it’s about clarifying purpose.
Legal Tech App Rationalisation Framework
Our approach helps GCs to move legal teams from tool chaos to tech clarity through four key steps:
Mapping the Ecosystem: Cataloguing every application, integration, and license across the function.
Assessing Value: Measuring usage, cost, and ROI relative to strategic and operational priorities.
Reducing Redundancy: Eliminating overlap and simplifying workflows.
Building Forward: Creating a lean, interoperable tech architecture that supports future growth.
The Impact
The outcomes of legal tech rationalisation are transformative:
Lower spend and reduced waste.
Higher adoption.
Fewer silos across legal, IT, and business teams.
Clear alignment between technology and business impact.
In an environment where every platform promises productivity, discipline has become the differentiator. Legal tech rationalisation helps GCs and Partners regain control by ensuring every tool earns its place, and every dollar drives performance.
