A groundbreaking consultancy, designed to assist law firms in navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of legal technology, has been launched by Tom Lyes. Formerly the director of engagement at Lawyer Checker, a conveyancing risk management company, and most recently the head of legal and property at tech firm Armalytix, Lyes brings a wealth of experience to his new venture.
Introducing Tom Lyes Consultancy (TLC)
Tom Lyes Consultancy (TLC) is set to offer law firms crucial guidance in identifying and implementing essential technological solutions. With a broad array of services, TLC provides a comprehensive tech audit to pinpoint the most relevant products, manages supplier relationships, and oversees the project management of technology implementation.
Lyes explains, “The tools and processes law firms need to do their jobs have changed massively over the last 10 years, and there’s a huge amount of choice. Knowing what technology you need to meet which challenges can be incredibly confusing, and a firm might have to sit through five or 10 demos from suppliers to try and work out what they need.”
Simplifying Technology Choices
Lyes continues, “I can remove that burden by spending time with the firm, understanding the key challenges they face, and then presenting two or three solutions that will be geared exactly towards meeting their needs.”
Beyond merely sourcing the appropriate technology, Lyes will assist firms in collaborating with suppliers to ensure they derive the maximum commercial benefit. Drawing upon his extensive experience in operational management within a conveyancing firm and his tenure on the supplier side, Lyes is adept at viewing situations from multiple perspectives.
“I can liaise with suppliers to help firms get the maximum value from the relationships and make sure they get the best products and pricing,” Lyes noted.
Overseeing Implementation
Lyes emphasizes the importance of managing the entire implementation process. “Any new system requires a change in processes and procedures, but firms rarely have the resources available to dedicate the time to do this effectively. Rather than a department head taking on extra responsibility and taking them away from revenue-based activities, I can manage implementation to ensure the systems are up and running without any gaps in service or productivity – as well as compliant with all relevant regulations.”
Looking to the Future
Tom Lyes is enthusiastic about the launch of TLC, describing it as the culmination of his extensive experience in the legal sector. His goal is to create a consultancy that not only advises but actively works alongside forward-thinking businesses to achieve their objectives.
“I am incredibly excited to have launched TLC. This is the culmination of everything I’ve learned in the legal sector. I want to create something that helps forward-thinking businesses thrive not just by advising them, but by working alongside them to achieve their goals,” he shared.
