Are you confident in your firm's plans to adopt and develop AI?
Ready to move beyond experimentation to a structured, strategic approach that balances innovation with risk, giving your teams the confidence to use AI safely?

There are real, practical opportunities for SME law firms to benefit from AI - one step at a time, with the right guidance. With expert support, you can focus on what matters and tap into the know-how to get (and stay) on the right track.
At Carton & Co, we’ve developed action-focused AI strategies and adoption policies, helping law firm leaders to guide and oversee:
✨
A tiered risk model for AI tools
- so people know what’s permitted, what’s not, and why
✨
Layered controls for different use cases - from productivity to legal work and automation
✨
Clear, practical guidance
- so everyone understands the boundaries
✨
Robust data security and compliance - protecting client confidentiality and reputation
✨
Central registers and governance - for effective oversight, not just hope
✨
Ongoing training and development - to build buy-in and maintain momentum
✨
Technology to track and manage AI usage - e.g. Microsoft Purview and DSPM for AI, giving visibility and assurance
You can’t make every detailed decision about AI for your practice or department, but your leadership is essential - to set direction, provide oversight, and ensure your team and your practice make the most of what’s available now and in the future. You don’t need to be the technical expert, but you do need to set the tone, ask the right questions, and ensure the approach is joined-up and future-proof.
Would you value a preliminary conversation about:
❓ What effective AI oversight looks like in your role
❓ How to ensure your firm’s policy is practical, not just theoretical
❓ Ways to build engagement and confidence across your teams
❓ How to use technology to monitor and govern AI use
We’re happy to discuss our frameworks and user guides - and what is likely to work in practice for you - so you can lead with confidence, even if you’re not controlling every detail. You’ll be talking to a lawyer with experience in practice, deep legal tech knowledge, and empathy with your team.
Get in touch to discuss how we can help you develop the leadership you want from here for your firm's secure, effective and engaged AI adoption - so it delivers the best results for your practice.
