Why meet us
Every system talks to itself
Time recorded from memory. Draft bills waiting on partner approval. Reports that start as a system export and end in a spreadsheet. Most mid-market firms don’t have a technology problem so much as a connection problem: matter data, finance data, and client data live in systems that were never designed to work together.
The cost shows up where it hurts. Lock-up stretches past three months of earned revenue. Realization drifts down year after year and nobody can say exactly where it goes. And when AI reaches the board agenda, the data foundation isn’t there to support it.
That’s the conversation we want to have with you in September.
Choose the conversation that matches your seat
- If you run the firm.
You see the lock-up report weeks after the position has already moved. We’ll show you what it looks like when profitability by matter, fee earner utilization, and pipeline sit in one live view, and when exceptions surface before they become month-end surprises. - If you run finance.
Realization starts deteriorating at time recording, before a single bill is drafted. We’ll walk through where earned revenue gets stuck between WIP and the bank, from unrecorded time to eBilling rejections, and what closes each gap. - If you run IT.
Every upgrade is a project. Every integration is a maintenance burden. One person knows how the PMS is configured. We’ll talk about what it means to run the firm on Microsoft Azure and Dynamics 365 instead: one platform your team already knows, with a data foundation AI can actually use.
Bring your AI question
AI will be on the agenda on all three days, and it is probably on your board’s too. We can make the conversation concrete. Secure Microsoft Copilot adoption inside the tools your fee earners already use. AI-powered time capture that records work at the point it happens, not from memory at the end of the week. And empower, the intelligence layer, that understands your firm’s business, data, and context deeply enough to drive proactive, agentic workflows across billing and lock-up, built for the outcomes that matter to your firm.
We will show you what is live, not what is on a roadmap.

The business of law, on the platform you already trust
We help law firms modernize operations with the Microsoft Industry Cloud for Law Firms: one connected platform, built on Azure and Dynamics 365, running the matter lifecycle from intake to collection.
Day to day, the firm runs on evergreen. Business development, matters, finance, and talent live in one system, so profitability is visible in real time and time capture happens inside the tools fee earners already use.
Above it sits empower, the intelligence layer that understands your business, data, and context deeply enough to work proactively across your systems – surfacing risk and opportunity, and acting on it within the rules your firm defines.
And getting there is a defined project. Deployment runs through sa.go!, preconfigured for law firms with 380+ pre-built processes and 150+ industry-specific features. Scope, timeline, and cost are agreed before the project starts: no lengthy discovery phase, no customisation cycle that stretches into next year.
