AI Readiness Audit for law firms.
For a firm that wants to know where it stands before spending anything on AI. An indicative fee of £2,500 plus VAT, fixed in writing before any work starts, with the deliverable set out on one page you keep.
What you get
- A written assessment of your current processes, your technology stack and your exposure to AI, including the tools your people are already using with or without permission.
- A traffic light risk rating against the duties a regulated practice owes, so the partners can see at once where the firm is exposed and where it is safe.
- A prioritised opportunity map showing where AI would earn its place in your work, what to adopt first and what to leave alone, set against your budget.
- A ninety minute debrief with the people you choose, and a written record of what was found and what was decided, ready for the day a regulator, a client or an insurer asks.
Who it suits
The audit is the usual starting point for a small or mid-sized practice, because it tells you whether AI is worth your time and money before you commit to anything larger. It suits a firm of two to fifty fee earners whose partners have heard the promises and cannot yet say whether the tools already in use are safe.
How it runs
When you get in touch we reply within one working day and arrange a short call to understand your firm and the question in front of it. There is no charge for that conversation and no obligation to go further.
Before any work starts you receive a written confirmation setting out the scope, the deliverable, the inputs we need from you, the assumptions behind the price and anything excluded. The inputs are deliberately light. We work from short conversations with the people you choose, your policies and your supplier contracts, arranged around your diary, and our delivery does not normally require access to client matter files.
The price agreed in writing before you instruct us is the price you pay, whatever the work turns out to involve. If we do not deliver what that document says we will deliver, you do not pay for it. Travel, where it applies, is charged at cost and agreed in advance.
The fee
£2,500plus VAT, indicative and fixed in writing
Figures are indicative and fixed in writing before work begins. VAT registration has been applied for, so VAT is added to invoices from the date HMRC confirms the number. Adliora is a management consultancy, not a law firm, and its deliverables are governance, operational and commercial assessments rather than legal advice.
Common questions
How much of our time does it take?
Little. We work from short conversations with the people you choose, your policies and your supplier contracts, arranged around your diary. Our delivery does not normally require access to client matter files.
What happens after the audit?
The report is yours to keep whether or not you instruct us again. Many firms act on it themselves. Others take the AI Strategy Sprint or the Staff AI Literacy Session next, and the audit tells you plainly which, if either, is worth it.
