Why Rethink Legal?
A practical, structured approach
We help you pinpoint real needs, ask the right questions and break down complex projects into manageable steps by taking a 360 degree view of your business.
Independent, expert guidance
Our experience across legal, tech, procurement and sales means we can bridge the gap between stakeholders and vendors, ensuring you choose the right solutions, remain in control and achieve ROI.
Hands-on leadership from strategy to execution
Whether it’s identifying pain points, selecting technology or leading implementation, we make sure your team gets real results, translating your vision into reality.
Tailored to your team
We can support as much or as little of your legal operations transformation as you need. No complex consulting reports, just work that gets done.
Our consulting services
Strategy & process optimisation
Most legal teams grow organically, with a focus on people and expertise, not processes and technology. We assess, refine, and transform your operations to increase efficiency, reduce risk and improve the experience for your team so you can deliver more value. We:
- Review templates, workflows, contract and compliance processes and knowledge management to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks and risks
- Highlight cost/time savings and create a realistic action plan
- Ensure tech investments are strategic, not just adding complexity
Process improvements
Automating a bad process won’t make it better. We simplify, standardise and streamline before adding technology. We:
- Standardise templates and workflows for consistency across business units or jurisdictions
- Improve legal intake & matter management to cut wasted time and control cost
- Implement document automation, chatbots, workflow tools and knowledge management solutions that actually work
- Ensure end user needs are met so new processes stick
Legal technology & AI implementation
Legal tech is overwhelming. We help you choose and implement the right tools, the right way (ensuring ROI). We:
- Map the legal tech landscape so you understand what’s worth considering and what’s not
- Guide AI adoption so you ensure compliance, security and real business impact
- Lead selection, procurement & implementation so you get real value, not just features
- Ensure seamless delivery and change management so tech works for you, not against you
Contract lifecycle management (CLM)
We are specialists in CLM implementations with particular expertise in Gartner-rated leading solutions Sirion and Agiloft, and the Swiss CLM provider Ontoris, supporting the full project lifecycle:
- Requirements analysis and contracting process design
- Vendor selection & solution configuration
- Implementation, testing, and roll-out
- Training and user adoption strategies
Flexible Legal Resources
Need additional legal expertise on-demand? We offer short or long-term legal support for resource gaps (maternity cover, sick leave, capacity issues) and specialist expertise to support strategic projects where your team lacks the knowledge. Full or part time, working on-site, remotely or a combination of both.
Transformation and Change Management
We are experienced in managing organisational change, including outsourcing, technology transformation and user experience. We:
- Provide strategic project leadership from planning to execution, ensuring seamless implementation and adoption
- Take over day to day project management enabling internal stakeholders to focus on their own workstreams
- Support you with communications and user engagement, setting the foundations for success
How we work together
We don’t have a standard way of working. Our services are tailored to your needs.
For larger projects, we typically integrate into your organisation, using your systems for seamless collaboration. Smaller projects are usually managed independently, keeping things efficient and flexible. Our pricing is based on a day-rate or can be fixed for certain project phases.

We adopt a structured project rhythm, ensuring regular check-ins and clear progress tracking.
