AI strategy for law firms.
The version of AI strategy that law firms still use a year after launch.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Intake, file notes and document review sped up, with client information protected under the Privacy Act 2020 and kept in New Zealand.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
We map the recurring New Zealand admin in your week, like GST, payday filing and ACC levies, and pick the one to automate first.
- GST at 15 per cent
- Payday filing, every payday
- ACC levies set by industry
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.
What you get
If we build the right slice first, law firms feel the difference inside the first month.
- On-site discovery with the people doing the work
- Ranked initiatives with ROI, effort, and risk
- Tool selection - not married to any vendor
- Phased 90-day plan you can execute or hand off
- No AI theatre
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
Where most law firms engagements actually deliver value.
Law firms bill for judgement, but a huge share of the week still goes on intake, document review, and status updates.
New matter intake and routine client updates are the two places firms lose the most billable time to admin.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Questions law firms ask
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Most plans pay for themselves in the first build.
When does AI strategy actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a law firm - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI strategy can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Notion, Miro, Linear but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Is our data kept in New Zealand?
Kiwi Dynamics hosts its own infrastructure in New Zealand, under New Zealand governance. If personal information ever has to go offshore, privacy principle 12 requires comparable protection.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
