Your legal team has the tools. They’re still working in spreadsheets.
IT rolled out the document system, the contract platform, the e-billing suite. Your lawyers still run the real work in Word, email, and unsanctioned AI. I help close that gap — with a fixed-scope assessment and a practical roadmap.

The gap I fix
Enterprise software is bought for procurement, security, and control. It is rarely built for how lawyers actually think and move. So the tools get provisioned, and the work quietly routes around them — into spreadsheets, inboxes, and people’s memories. That is where deadlines get missed, ownership gets murky, and risk hides.
I have spent my career on the seam between corporate IT and the legal department: embedded in corporate legal at Disney, building the rights engine at Yahoo Media Group, and running technology for the Producers Guild of America. I know why the enterprise rollout doesn’t stick, and what a legal team will actually use.
How to start
Most engagements begin with a Legal Workflow Assessment — a short, fixed-scope diagnostic of where your provisioned systems and your actual workflows have diverged, and a prioritized roadmap to close the gap. It stands on its own, and it tells us both whether deeper work makes sense.
