Custom AI tools for UK firms
Most professional firms have one or two workflows that quietly eat fee-earner and admin time and never appear on a client bill. I build custom Claude tools that take that drafting layer off your desk, tuned to your templates, in your firm's voice, with your team's review kept in place.
Not a platform you log into. Not a subscription. A tool built for one of your real workflows, that runs on demand and produces finished, review-ready drafts.
Client onboarding packs, case-prep bundles, engagement letters, management commentary, assembled from your intake and your templates.
Candidate write-ups, coverage summaries, correspondence sets, status reports, the prep layer that grows with your client list, not your team.
Ask questions across your own private documents and get sourced answers, without files leaving your control.
A short walkthrough of a client onboarding tool built for a sample law firm: intake in, finished pack out, in the firm's voice.

Start to working tool in three to four weeks, not a six-month project.
A short call to find the workflow worth automating, then I collect a handful of your real examples to capture your house style.
I build and test the tool against your templates and your intake structure. No platform, no integration you don't ask for.
You and one nominated reviewer check the output on real cases. I tune the prompts, which stay plain text you can edit yourself.
You receive the working tool, the prompts, plain-English docs, and 30 days of support. You keep the code. No lock-in.
Clear terms, set before any work starts.
UK firms with document-heavy workflows and no internal dev team, typically 10 to 50 people, owner or partner-led.
Onboarding, case prep, conveyancing files, correspondence, file handovers.
Client letters, management commentary, onboarding packs, HMRC correspondence.
Candidate write-ups, sector briefs, coverage roundups, client reports.
I build these tools myself, end to end. Before I sold a single project I built my own automated outbound system on Claude, which is how I know this category works, not just in theory. Pipework is deliberately small: one operator, fixed-fee work, no account managers between you and the person doing the build.
And because you keep the code, and the prompts are plain English you can edit, you're never dependent on me to keep it running. That's the point, not an afterthought. I'm early enough that I'd rather show you the actual work than point at a wall of logos, so the honest pitch is a short call and a working demo, and you decide from there.

Worth a conversation?
I'll look at a workflow you actually run and tell you honestly whether a build is worth it. No pressure if it isn't.
