Law firms · Applied AI

The version of AI strategy that law firms still use a year after launch.

AI strategy is overhyped at the macro level and underused at the workflow level. For a NZ law firm, that gap is where the actual ROI lives – and where most of our work happens.

What AI strategy actually does

A clear-eyed AI roadmap built for your business – not a generic deck. We sit with your team, map the high-value plays, and write the build order. You leave with a plan you could actually start tomorrow.

  • 01 On-site discovery with the people doing the work
  • 02 Ranked initiatives with ROI, effort, and risk
  • 03 Tool selection – not married to any vendor
  • 04 Phased 90-day plan you can execute or hand off

Built on: Claude Notion Miro Linear

The honest read

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.

How we build AI strategy for law firms.

We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a law firm business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI roadmap + plan.

The outcome for law firms

If we build the right slice first, law firms feel the difference inside the first month. Most plans pay for themselves in the first build.

Not your typical AI agency.

Honest about what AI can and cannot do

Ships the one workflow that pays for itself

Hours given back, never the size of the invoice

*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

How much is not automating costing you?

Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. With Kiwi Dynamics, that drops to about 52.

Questions

FAQ

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.

Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?

Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.

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.

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.

Worth a conversation?

Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
