As a Legal Professional or Law Firm…

Why do I need IT?

Legal professionals are some of the most heavily regulated and audited industries in Australia, and it’s only getting worse with Anti Money Laundering legislation coming into force in 2026. In addition to regulation, Law Firms operate on some of the most sensitive personal information in existance, and participate in some of probably the most high value transactions. The end result is an industry that is buckling under the pressure of compliance, cyber security, and modernisation in a field that has existed in some form or another for thousands of years. Legal professionals often operate under extreme deadlines, with archaic document templating systems, monolithic and unreliable practice management systems. 

But, it’s not all bad news in the Legal sector. Recent advancements in Artifical Intelligence have allowed lawyers to operate more efficiently, finally taking some pressure off and allowing practitioners to catch up on tasks that otherwise would have taken them too much time. However, the developments have raised privacy and operational questions, and this is one area in particular where Mawson Tech is uniquely positioned to advise your firm.   As AI specialists, we understand the technology deeply – and can help you decide the best course of action. We can also design and implement custom Retrieval Augmented Generation and self-hosted AI chatbots if that’s the route that you want to go down.

As impressive as Artificial Intelligence is, there is still so much efficiency to be gained by implementation of traditional document automation techniques in your firm. Mawson Tech are experts in document automation – we have worked on some incredibly complicated setups. We can design and implement HotDocs for your firm, or perhaps just implement document templates for your Leap or Actionstep deployment.  We can provide custom coded Microsoft Word macros to do things like insert your letterhead, or your styles, while making sure the macros are digitally signed with trusted certificates so you maintain your ACSC Essential Eight maturity level. We can also custom code integrations for disparate systems so information flows through your firm. 

If you are operating a law firm, and any of the above sounds like it would be valuable for you, please do not hesitate to reach out through 08 7924 7007 or admin@mawsontech.com.au.
