Your automation and AI partner.
Technology, Compliance, and Automation — with AI governance across every engagement, for law firms of every size.
Clio Certified Partner · Microsoft Partner · Australia & UK
Law firms carry the same regulatory and technology burden regardless of size — AML/CTF obligations, privacy law, cybersecurity requirements, AI tools your staff are already using, practice management platforms that need configuring, not just installing. A smaller firm feels this as a resourcing gap. A larger firm feels it as a coordination problem across more people, more matters, and more systems. Either way, the obligation does not scale down.
It falls to the managing partner, the practice manager, the COO, or whoever in the firm can make the time — between client work, business development, and everything else the role already demands.
JurisIT is built for exactly this. We are not a generalist IT provider. We work exclusively with law firms, we understand the regulatory environment your practice operates in, and we deliver the outcomes your firm needs — whether that means filling the gap an in-house hire would otherwise cover, or extending what your existing technology and compliance team can do.
Three pillars. One team. Every engagement.
AI governance runs across all three pillars in every JurisIT engagement. It is not a separate service — it is the lens through which we assess, advise, and deliver.
Technology
The right foundation for everything your firm does.
- Microsoft 365 configuration and governance
- Cybersecurity and device management
- Clio implementation, migration, and managed service
- Actionstep migration
- Practice management optimisation
- M365 Copilot readiness
- Managed IT — Surface devices, physical infrastructure, onshore support
Compliance
The regulatory and ethical framework your firm is required to have.
- AI governance framework and Acceptable Use Policy
- AML/CTF Tranche 2 readiness
- Privacy Act obligations
- Cybersecurity baseline — VLSB+C / ASD Essential Eight
- Incident response planning
- Notifiable Breach requirements and reporting
Automation
Less repetition. More time for the work that matters.
- Power Automate workflow design and build
- Wills and estates workflow automation
- Document assembly and precedent automation
- Microsoft 365 integration and data flows
- Clio workflow and matter plan automation
Practice Resilience® — a structured journey, not a one-off install.
Most technology and compliance problems in law firms are not isolated issues. A misconfigured Microsoft 365 environment, an unsecured Clio instance, undocumented workflows, and ungoverned AI use are usually symptoms of the same underlying gap: the firm has never had a structured programme of technology governance.
Practice Resilience® is JurisIT's structured engagement programme for firms that want to address that gap systematically. It runs in four stages — Diagnostic, Foundation, Transformation, and AI Implementation. You don't need to complete all four stages — as the Cheshire Cat said, it all depends on where you want to get to.

JurisIT was founded in 1992. Frank Downes — who leads the practice — is an admitted solicitor with 34 years of experience across legal practice, technology, and legal publishing. That background shapes every engagement: the advice is grounded in an understanding of legal practice from the inside, not from a distance.
We work with law firms of every size — from small high-street and suburban practices through to mid-market and national firms. The compliance and AI governance obligations we work on — AML/CTF, privacy, cybersecurity, AI tool exposure — apply regardless of size. What changes is scale and complexity, and every engagement is scoped to the firm in front of us.
