Emerging IT
Practical, strategic guidance for law firms adopting emerging technology.
Explore new legal technology with clarity – a comprehensive range of services, tailored to law firms at various stages of their innovation journey.
Legal technology is evolving fast – and firms are feeling the pressure to keep up. But navigating AI, automation, and new tools can be overwhelming, especially when the risks (and costs in time and money) are unclear.
Somtimes the best tool or innovation is already available in your firm – you may just not know about it. We help firms consider the changes to your IT team that are required to get the best from changing technology estate and demands.
Lights-On’s Emerging IT service helps law firms explore new technologies with confidence. Whether you want to understand AI’s real potential, assess legal tech options, or plan for adoption – we provide the strategy, structure and support to help you innovate sensibly and bridge the gap between technology and its users.
We don’t hype or push products. We help you plan and move forward – on your terms.
How We Help – innovation without the overwhelm
We work with firms at any stage of their innovation journey – whether you’re just starting to explore, ready to take the next step, or being first out of the starting block is your firm’s priority.
Our consultants will:
- Evaluate your firm’s current maturity and readiness for AI/emerging tech
- Identify opportunities for innovation that match your appetite, budget and risk profile
- Research, compare and help you identify suitable platforms and tools
- Support cultural and operational readiness
- Create a bespoke roadmap for your firm’s innovation journey
Emerging Tech Planning
As there’s just no escape from AI for the foreseeable, we have carefully curated some AI packages based on feedback and research with a variety of law firms.
- AI Awareness – A suitable option for firms that are dipping a toe in the AI realm, have yet to make a start, or who want to start gently, but practically, with a considered plan. AI Awareness includes board-level briefings, team interviews, and tailored advice to help you understand AI’s risks, opportunities, and practical relevance to your firm.
- AI Setup – A great option for firms who are ready to embrace AI across the firm, but want to ensure they are being strategic and using the correct tools. AI Setup includes support with AI policies, risk registers, demos, pilots, and working groups – so you can plan, assess, and prepare for adoption.
- AI Momentum – Perfect for firms who are already on their AI journey, but want to make more of an impact, or need help keeping the momentum balanced with fee-earning. AI Momentum includes ongoing support to drive engagement, use case development, tool selection, and benefit realisation – delivered flexibly on retainer.
