AI: The Reality and the Opportunity

AI tools are already in your firm or will be soon. The real question is whether your people use them effectively or not. 

For SRA-regulated firms, that has real implications. Competence, supervision and data governance all come into play.

Our training enables your team with the practical skills to leverage AI and automation properly. Hands-on exercises that are relevant to legal work, and immediately applicable.

  • Use Microsoft Copilot effectively in day-to-day legal work
  • Identify and automate repetitive tasks without technical support
  • Work within clear governance and compliance guardrails
  • Improve efficiency without increasing headcount
What This Training Delivers

Structured AI and automation training for legal professionals who are not technologists

Hands-on, practical training

Every session is built around real legal workflows. Your team will use the tools during the session and leave with skills they can apply immediately.

Focused on Microsoft Copilot

Learn how to get real, daily value from the Microsoft 365 tools you already use, with governance built in from the start.

Use Copilot with confidence

Apply it across Outlook, Word and Teams to support everyday legal tasks.

Work within governance guidelines

Use AI tools safely, with a clear understanding of compliance and risk.

Reduce time spent on admin

Automate repetitive work and free up time for higher-value activity.

Improve consistency and accuracy

Standardise outputs and reduce the risk of errors across the firm.

Identify automation opportunities

Spot where simple process improvements can save time across your work.

Apply learning immediately

Leave each session with practical skills that can be used the same day.

Make Everyday Tasks More Efficient

Business Process Automation

Fee earners and support staff are sitting on automation opportunities they cannot currently act on. This programme changes that.

Most repetitive work in a law firm does not require a developer to fix. Your people will learn how to identify where automation can save time and how to put the right solutions in place themselves, without technical dependency.

Why Legal Firms Choose Automation Outcomes for AI Training

Every programme is built around our STAR framework. A simple, repeatable approach that your people can continue to use long after the training is concluded

Scope

Define the task. Identify where it slows down and where risk appears.

Think

Assess the tools available and consider data and governance requirements.

Automate

Implement the right solution without unnecessary complexity.

Record

Document outcomes and measure results to support compliance and improvement.

Ongoing Support

Use AI with confidence – Demonstrate it on demand

The AI Foundations Toolkit gives legal firms the governance foundations for effective AI use. This includes, policies, documents, structure, and ongoing support to show clients, insurers, and anyone who asks that your firm’s approach is considered, documented, and in control.

Where To Start?

Every firm is at a different stage

Some have already introduced Copilot and are seeing inconsistent adoption. Others are still deciding how to approach AI responsibly before rolling it out. Wherever you are, the right starting point is a conversation.

Working with SME law firms across the UK, every engagement is tailored to your firm’s size, practice areas and current level of AI and automation maturity. There is no standard package, because the right approach depends on where your people actually are.

If you are unsure where to begin, ask about the AI Readiness Review. This provides a clear view of your current position, what your team needs, and what a sensible next step looks like before committing to a wider programme.
