Law Firm Use Case
Independent Technology Selection for a Law Firm
Client Overview
A medium-sized law firm was under increasing pressure to invest in new technology to improve efficiency and remain competitive. Partners recognised the need to modernise but lacked confidence that previous or proposed technology investments would deliver meaningful return on investment.
Challenge
The firm faced a complex and noisy technology marketplace, creating uncertainty and decision fatigue. Key challenges included:
Partners and senior staff being regularly approached by competing technology vendors with overlapping and sometimes conflicting solutions.
Uncertainty about what technology the firm genuinely needed versus what was being sold to them.
Lack of confidence that the firm was selecting the right solutions for its size, practice mix, and strategic direction.
Skepticism at Partner level about whether technology investments would deliver measurable ROI.
Concern that poor-fit technology would increase complexity rather than improve efficiency.
As a result, decision-making was slow, fragmented, and driven more by external pressure than internal clarity.
Our Approach
Wycane supported the firm through an independent, structured technology selection process, designed to remove vendor bias and build Partner confidence. Our approach included:
Clarifying business objectives, pain points, and desired outcomes before considering technology options.
Mapping current workflows and identifying where technology would deliver the greatest value.
Defining clear requirements and success criteria aligned to ROI, usability, and scalability.
Independently assessing and shortlisting suitable technology options based on fit rather than vendor marketing.
Supporting Partners through evaluation, decision-making, and investment justification.
The approach ensured technology decisions were driven by business need and long-term value, not sales pressure.
Expected Outcome
Wycane enabled the firm to make informed, confident technology investment decisions. The firm received:
A clear view of what technology was genuinely required and what was not.
An independent assessment of options, aligned to the firm’s operational and strategic needs.
A justified investment case clearly articulating expected benefits and ROI.
Partner alignment around technology decisions and next steps.
Probable Impact
The firm now benefits from:
Increased confidence in technology investment decisions.
Reduced risk of over-investment or poor-fit solutions.
Better alignment between technology capability, workflows, and firm strategy.
A clearer pathway to improving efficiency and competitiveness through well-chosen technology investments.
