AI strategy and implementation
for law firms
Mid-market law firms have embraced AI more than any other technology since Document Management. Whilst some firms are running multiple AI projects, others remain under pressure to follow suit — unsure as to the benefits and risks of sending data through frontier LLMs.
Whilst large amounts of money have already been invested in AI by law firms, it is difficult to calculate the direct and indirect benefits. As the frontier model providers struggle to keep their own costs under control, large Token bills are inevitable. Fixed-price AI suppliers are charging eye-watering amounts per user, and the basic plans are being watered down in favour of the Token usage model.

Our consulting packages
Sysero offer several consulting packages to help firms at every stage of their AI journey.
What does success look like?
Most firms running multiple AI projects have yet to calculate the return on investment of each project and have little or no feeling of which approach is best. The enthusiastic adoption of "vibe-coding" — often with the encouragement or even at the instance of Managing Partners — can result in unsupportable, insecure, ill-conceived islands of automation with teams competing rather than working towards a common goal. Sysero can help identify InfoSec nightmares and qualify the ROI of each project against definable benefits to individual legal Practices against the background of the whole firm.
Agentic workflows
The promise of Agentic workflows is a personal assistant that works on your behalf. Whilst the frontier AI providers are replacing whole applications with AI prompts, how do firms work with existing data sources and use MCP Servers, skills, tools and resources with proper IT governance — and avoid the horrors of AI prompt injection and users allowing tools free reign of their data? Compliance workflows such as client and matter onboarding can take many months to develop, understand the implications of legislative rules, and work through dozens of edge cases before moving from testing into production. Using prompts and a little code, Sysero consultants can create prototypes that form the basis of production systems in record time.
Playbooks, checklists and toolkits
All firms use templated documents and will have resources documenting the steps required to manage litigations, transactions and industry-specific advice. Developed by subject matter experts, often over many years, playbooks, checklists and toolkits can live in Word documents, PowerPoint slides and spreadsheets. This work can form the basis of Agentic workflows, prompting and guiding users through thousands of matter variations and providing information from internal and paywall-protected sources on demand.
Managed Agents & Microservices
Sysero has already delivered several microservices that law firms can call on and tailor to their needs. These include services that check for conflicts for new clients using accounting data; returning the beneficial chain of ownership against data in Companies House and other sources; high-volume automation of incoming documentation such as trademarks and invoices; and due diligence searches. Sysero consultants can identify areas in each Practice and build custom Managed Agents and Microservices, leaving firms with running custom solutions. For a full-service, secure application, consultants can deliver solutions using the Sysero framework — used by more than 10,000 legal professionals every day.
Turnkey solutions
Sysero's turnkey solutions in document automation, template management, knowledge management and risk management can be integrated with AI using MCP. Sysero consultants can deliver a turnkey solution customised to your needs.
