Independent advice for boards, law firms and financial businesses on where AI adds real value, how to implement it safely, and the risks that come with it.
Much of the advice on AI comes from people who have never had to rely on it. We use AI every day in demanding, high-stakes work, where a wrong figure or a false citation has real consequences, and we have learned where it excels and where it fails.
We follow closely the leading research, policy and commentary on AI in the UK and internationally, and we bring that together with thirty-seven years of experience in regulated financial services.
Legal research, first drafts, disclosure and document review, case triage and file summaries, with every authority checked against the judgment itself before it is relied on.
Complaint handling, affordability and suitability reviews, extraction of data from statements and agreements, redress calculations and quality assurance across large books of cases.
Customer enquiries, back-office processing, reporting and data analysis, knowledge bases for staff, and faster, better-organised decision-making at board level.
AI tools can produce confident, plausible and entirely false statements, including authorities that do not exist. Every output that matters needs checking against its source.
Information typed into public tools may leave your control. Personal data engages UK GDPR, including the rules on automated decision-making and the need for a data protection impact assessment.
Regulated firms remain responsible for outcomes, whatever tool produced them: FCA Consumer Duty, SRA professional duties, and the EU AI Act for businesses serving EU customers.
Models trained on historic data can reproduce its unfairness. Decisions about people must be tested for bias and remain explainable under the Equality Act 2010.
AI systems connected to email, documents or the web can be manipulated by instructions hidden in the material they read. They need the same security discipline as any other system.
Usage-based pricing can grow quickly, suppliers change their models without notice, and teams that stop checking the work lose the skill to spot when it is wrong.
We review how work flows through your business and identify where AI will genuinely save time or improve quality, and where it will not.
What data would be used, where it would go, which rules apply, and what could go wrong, including a data protection impact assessment where needed.
A small, measured trial against real examples, with accuracy judged against a standard set before the pilot begins.
Human review at the right points, checks against source material, clear limits on what the system may decide, and a record of what it did.
Staff guidance, an AI use policy, and training so people know what the tools are for and when not to trust them.
Periodic checks of accuracy, cost and risk, because models, suppliers and regulation all keep changing.
A focused review of your business, a written map of opportunities and risks, and a prioritised plan. Available as a fixed-scope engagement.
Clear, independent briefings for directors and partners on what AI can and cannot do, what competitors are doing, and the decisions you need to make.
Hands-on support choosing tools or suppliers, designing safeguards, running the pilot and bringing systems into everyday use.
AI use policies, staff guidance, supplier due diligence and the documents a regulator, insurer or client will expect to see.
AI consultancy is charged at our standard rate of £950 per hour plus VAT, or as a fixed fee for a defined scope. See our fees →
