Fractional CTO
We run the technology function for law firms.
Who this is for
Our clients are law firms.
A firm that engages us keeps its clients and its matters. We run the technology underneath: the AI tooling a lawyer works in, the policies that govern its use, and the judgement about what it may do in a given matter. It arrives through the law firm, inside the engagement that firm already holds with its client.
That is also why the platform is part of the offer rather than a product sold beside it. A firm working with us works on Navigator, and the other firms on it are the co-counsel network that firm joins by being there.
The engagement
What we take on
Scope is set per firm and quoted through the contact page, because what a practice runs on today is not knowable in advance.
AI enablement
- Tooling
- Policy
The tools a lawyer works in, the written policy that governs their use, and the training that makes the policy real rather than filed.
Privacy and compliance
- Data protection
- Vendor review
What a firm owes the people whose data it holds: data protection, the vendors it hands that data to, and readiness for the audits a client asks about.
Security incident response
The plan before an incident and the hands during one — who is called, what is preserved, and who must be told.
Complex counsel and co-counsel
Our litigation practiceThe legal half, which is legal work: the harder question under the technology, and a second lawyer when a matter needs one.
What is legal work here, and what is not
Some of this is the practice of law. Some of it is not.
Running a firm's technology function is a law-related service rather than legal representation. Where we provide it, the protections of the attorney-client relationship — privilege and confidentiality among them — do not apply to that work unless we are separately engaged as your counsel.
The counsel and co-counsel half is legal work, and it is engaged as legal work. Every engagement letter states which services it covers and under which relationship, before anything begins.
