Project Snapshot

A corporate law firm was facing an inflection point. Despite introducing new legal tech and workflows, their people lagged behind. Associates clung to legacy practices, partners were skeptical of new tools, and internal communications failed to clarify the “why” behind the changes. Adoption of new systems was sluggish, morale dropped, and client service started to suffer. The culture was rooted in precedent—making transformation feel like a threat, not a path forward.

Our Solution

We activated a firm-wide change strategy that brought clarity, support, and momentum to the transition. AI-enabled change agents were deployed to deliver targeted, real-time guidance—tailored to each team’s role, practice area, and technology needs. Behind the scenes, our consultants analyzed adoption patterns, identified cultural blockers, and coached leadership to model and reinforce the shift. What began as resistance turned into readiness: within weeks, engagement surged, productivity rebounded, and the new culture took root—aligned to the future of legal work.
