AI Services for Law Firms

AI presents immense challenges and opportunities for legal firms. 

The area is changing daily, and for the practitioner it is a new and difficult area to traverse. You will have experimented with ChatGPT and the AI tools in your practice management system, but there is much more that AI can do for you.

JurisIT provides services and advice on the evolving AI landscape:
- Microsoft Copilot and how it can be used in your firm
- Automation of common firm workflows
- AI training services (e.g. prompting, identification of use cases)
- Review and assessment of AI vendors and AI offerings 

Protecting the value of your firm in an AI world
The advent of AI has made the data you hold in your firm an extremely valuable commodity.

Your ability to apply AI capabilities to that data now determines how successful you are as a lawyer and the value of your firm.

Practice management system vendors are offering AI capabilities within their applications which are of benefit to you and your firm, however you must understand that the vendor will ultimately craft that offering to maximise their returns not yours.

AI and the advantages it can deliver are constantly evolving and you must maintain your ability to access whatever services will benefit you and your practice.

The way to do that is to retain control of your data.

Create a separate repository
Creating an independent data repository separate to your practice management system ensures you maintain flexibility to adopt technology that best suits you and your firm.

Failure to do so will result in your practice management system vendor deciding what AI capabilities you access and how you practice law.

Additional benefits
An independent data repository provides additional benefits:
• Ability to move or cancel practice management system subscriptions without having to go through expensive and cumbersome data export processes.
• Apply data destruction and data retention protocols to meet the ever growing regulatory, compliance and reporting requirements.
• Protection of your data in the event of a data breach or loss from a cyber incident at your practice management system vendor.
• Review and analyse your practice data to improve drafting, service delivery and identify other opportunities for the practice.
• AI prompt design and automated workflows for administrative tasks.
• AI prompt design and automated workflows for legal processes.

Next Steps
JurisIT has developed workflows that use your existing Microsoft 365 applications to provide a separate and independent data repository.

The initial setup does not require any additional subscription or licenses, everything can be completed using your current Microsoft 365 Business Premium subscription.
