Alternative Legal Tech Perspectives for Real-World Teams
I'm a corporate counsel who explores practical technology solutions that work within typical corporate realities. After learning to code out of necessity, I built automation tools that streamlined contract processes and contributed to my promotion—all while working within normal business constraints.
Now I share what I learn about building practical solutions using accessible tools and realistic approaches.
My Approach: What Actually Works
The legal technology market often focuses on enterprise solutions that assume unlimited resources and dedicated IT teams. I'm interested in practical automation that works in real corporate environments where you need solutions that integrate with existing systems and deliver immediate value.
What I explore:
- Document automation and contract processing workflows
- AI agents for policy guidance and compliance queries
- Legal process optimization using existing enterprise tools
- Practical programming solutions for common legal tasks
My technical work includes:
- Python automation for document processing and analysis
- Microsoft Copilot Studio agents for legal workflows
- Integration projects using APIs and existing systems
- Open source tools and transparent methodologies
Who This Serves
Solo counsels, small legal teams, and builders who need to:
- Automate repetitive tasks without massive infrastructure changes
- Build practical AI solutions within existing Microsoft 365 environments
- Streamline contract and compliance processes
- Leverage technology strategically without becoming full-time developers
I understand the reality: you need solutions that work immediately within your current environment, not theoretical frameworks requiring major organizational changes.
My Background
As a corporate counsel with experience in legal operations, compliance, and data protection, I understand both the legal requirements and practical considerations that shape technology decisions in legal departments.
My programming journey started with necessity—I needed to solve workflow problems that existing tools couldn't address efficiently. This practical foundation means I focus on solutions that deliver measurable value rather than impressive technical complexity.
