Independent Project Director for Law Firms
Senior, independent leadership for important technology, systems and AI projects.
Most law firms can research software, systems and suppliers.
The harder part is leading a major technology or systems initiative alongside the demands of running the business.
These projects cross departments, involve competing priorities and create dependencies between internal teams, suppliers and senior decision-makers. Without clear ownership, decisions slow down, responsibilities become blurred and delivery can drift.
Hutchinson & Company provides experienced, independent project leadership for law firms undertaking significant technology, systems and AI initiatives.
Clients work directly with founder and lead practitioner Alex Hutchinson, who provides experienced leadership on the client's side to keep projects moving, suppliers accountable, risks controlled and decisions made.
Where a decision has not yet been made, we can also help evaluate options, validate requirements and lead supplier selection. Our primary role, however, is providing the leadership needed to turn those decisions into successful delivery.

Helping organisations to:
Establish clear project objectives, governance and responsibilities
Evaluate options and make informed investment decisions
Select and challenge systems, suppliers and implementation partners
Coordinate internal teams and external suppliers
