Keys to success in law firms and legal departments


Most transformation projects in law firms or legal departments face major challenges: migration of a Document Management System (DMS), implementation of artificial intelligence, contract automation, integration of legal CRM, among others.


The problem is not the technology. The challenge lies in project management. Studies show that between 25% and 50% of digital transformation or Legaltech implementation projects fail or do not achieve the expected impact due to a lack of methodology, poor communication with stakeholders, or poor change management.


✅ Recommendations and Best Practices

  • Define clear and measurable objectives. It is not enough to say “digitize processes”; you have to define KPIs: “reduce contract review time by 30%,” “implement DMS in less than 90 days,” etc.

  • Involve users from the outset. Projects fail when lawyers feel that a tool is being “imposed” on them. The key is to involve them in the design, pilot plans, and testing.

  • Adopt agile methodologies. A LegalTech project requires quick deliverables, continuous feedback, and flexible adjustments.

  • Manage cultural change. It's not just about installing software, but changing the way teams work. Communication, training, and support are essential.

  • Assess risks early. From cybersecurity issues to user resistance. Anticipating problems saves costs and prevents failures.


How we approach it at Lexantria

At Lexantria, our experience in LegalTech projects has allowed us to build a solid approach:


  • Initial diagnosis → we identify needs, critical processes, and business expectations.

  • Agile work plan → structured in sprints, with partial deliverables that generate value from the first month.

  • Comprehensive stakeholder management → we ensure that both legal management and line attorneys are aligned and committed.

  • Change management support → training, clear communication, and ongoing support.

  • Measurable value delivery → we ensure that the project has a real impact: time savings, cost reductions, greater security, and a better legal user experience.


In other words, we don't just implement technology: we guarantee that it works and is successfully adopted.
