Legal Technology Development

Custom development for law firm systems—document management integrations, practice management extensions, client portals, and workflow automation.

Law firms run on specialized software. I build the custom pieces that connect your systems, automate manual workflows, and give attorneys the tools they actually need. Whether it's integrating with iManage, extending your practice management system, or building a client-facing portal, I deliver code that works reliably in demanding legal environments.

What I Build for Firms:

DMS Integrations: Custom integrations with iManage, NetDocuments, and other document management systems
Practice Management Extensions: Extending Aderant, Elite, or custom time and billing systems
Client Portals: Secure matter status, document sharing, and collaboration platforms
Workflow Automation: Intake forms, approval processes, and document assembly
E-Discovery Tools: Custom processing, review, and production workflows

I understand the security, compliance, and reliability requirements that legal technology demands.

Staff Augmentation & Technical Leadership

Senior technical leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire. I work with your IT team to drive technology initiatives forward.

Big Law has enterprise-scale complexity but often without enterprise-scale IT departments. I bring twenty years of experience leading technical teams to firms that need senior leadership for specific initiatives—whether that's a DMS migration, a new client portal, or modernizing legacy systems.

How I Help Law Firm IT Teams:

Technical Leadership: Architecture decisions, vendor evaluation, implementation strategy
Project Management: Keeping complex initiatives on track
Team Augmentation: Additional senior capacity when you need it
Vendor Coordination: Working with your technology vendors to get results
Knowledge Transfer: Building your team's capabilities as we work together

I integrate seamlessly with existing teams and processes. No ego, no disruption—just results.

Legal Technology Modernization

Upgrade aging systems without disrupting firm operations. I modernize incrementally to minimize risk.

Law firms often run critical systems that are years behind current technology—but can't afford downtime during migration. I specialize in gradual modernization that keeps everything running while moving to modern platforms.

Modernization Services:

Platform Upgrades: Moving from legacy .NET Framework to modern .NET
Cloud Migration: Moving on-premises systems to Azure with proper security
Integration Updates: Modernizing connections to DMS, time and billing, and other firm systems
Performance Optimization: Making slow systems fast again
Security Hardening: Bringing legacy systems up to current security standards

I understand that firm technology can't have extended downtime. All modernization work is planned for minimal disruption.

Technology Initiative Rescue

Technology project stalled? Vendor disappeared? I step in, assess the situation, and get things back on track.

Sometimes technology initiatives go sideways. The original vendor underdelivered, the project lost momentum, or the scope expanded beyond what the team could handle. I provide rapid assessment and practical recovery plans.

How I Rescue Projects:

Rapid Assessment: Honest evaluation of where things stand
Stabilization: Fixing critical issues and restoring confidence
Recovery Planning: Realistic timeline to get back on track
Completion: Hands-on work to finish what was started
Transition: Setting up your team for long-term success

No judgment about how things got here. Just practical solutions to move forward.
