Fiona spent 25 years as a dispute resolution lawyer working across the legal industry in top-tier, mid-tier, small firms, a NewLaw firm and in-house. Now working as a legal tech consultant, she has an insider’s view as to how firms across the industry are actually using (or not using) tech.

Long hours, inefficient processes, and constant pressure to do more with less drove her to find ways to use tech to work more efficiently. With no budget, no IT support, and (possibly because of) no innovation committee, she discovered how powerful a tech-enabled lawyer could be when up against a much better-resourced opponent.  She pivoted from legal work to helping lawyers become more tech-enabled, making use of old tech like Word and rapidly emerging AI-powered tools.

She regularly presents to lawyers on common sense ways to adopt new ways of working. She has written a book that is a practical guide on becoming a tech-enabled lawyer in any law firm. It offers a practical framework on how to get the most out of the tech you have and how to spot the tech you need.
