About Alex Hutchinson
Founder & Lead Practitioner
Hutchinson & Company is a specialist, founder-led practice supporting law firms with the decisions, direction and leadership required to improve how legal work is delivered and how technology is selected, governed and used.
I work directly with managing partners and leadership teams, providing independent advice, leadership and practical guidance across technology change, legal delivery and AI adoption, helping firms make informed decisions, avoid wasted investment and achieve successful adoption.
Managing partners typically involve me when they are considering significant technology, AI or operational improvements and want an independent perspective before committing substantial time, money and energy.
Background
For more than a decade, I have worked exclusively with law firms, helping them improve processes, evaluate technology options, strengthen governance, lead successful change and achieve greater value from technology investments.
My experience spans:
CMS, PMS and DMS replacement
Legal delivery and process improvement
Supplier selection and vendor management
Technology strategy and governance
Complex technology and operational change
AI adoption and technology optimisation
My role is not to sell software, represent suppliers or promote particular solutions. It is to help firms make better decisions, reduce risk, avoid wasted investment and successfully navigate change.
