How Legal Automation Works
Paperwork is a huge part of any legal role, but it needn’t take over. Having Solicitors and other skilled staff stuck on repetitive admin tasks consumes hours, hurts morale and kill profits.
So finding ways to cut costs whilst removing the mundane tasks offers a competitive edge to your legal firm.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an automation solution that can typically free up 40% of staff time, allowing your human workforce the time and space to deliver better client care whilst enjoying greater morale and job satisfaction. It’s like having an AI Legal Assistant. Workflow’s are an essential part of legal case management and at Spectrum Digital we can help you revolutionise your current documents, forms and existing workflows using our workflow automation software to integrate with your current system – removing the need for an expensive new case management system! You could also introduce chatbot software, ediscovery and self-service journeys.
Your automation could help with tasks such as bulk contract automation, claims workflow and approval, compliance, contract negotiation, request for information requests and low-value legal work.
Streamlining processes, reducing error and increasing profit makes RPA a guaranteed investment with plentiful benefits and fast returns.

Automation for Legal
AML Compliance
Your legal firm can automatically perform regular checks on current clients, complete the filling out of SAR forms with zero errors which means employees spend no additional time on checks and clarifications.
Task-Based Billing
Document Retrieval
Sort, read and extract information from multiple sources and systems, both internal and external, and collate the information into a single document or form.
Automated workflows can be created with document management tools to automate processes such as organisation of documents, client care, forms and other types of communication.
GDPR Compliance
Your law firm will be able to automate responses to queries about GDPR and personal data securely with no errors or delay.
Integration
It’s common for law firms to use a number of legal case management systems, practice management systems and other document tools which are unique to the legal industry.
Sometimes these systems can be older or legacy systems where new technology often struggles to integrate. The tools provided by Spectrum Digital to automate tasks can often be integrated into these older systems whilst giving you peace of mind that you will be able to take us with you when you upgrade in the future.
Legal Automation: Unleashing Untapped Potential
The application of legal rules often follows a standardised approach—could this also lend itself to automation?
Many lawyers might respond, “No way! Law is far too complex for AI and automation.” However, Spectrum Digital believe a more nuanced answer is warranted: “It depends.” Frequently, it is human factors, rather than the intricacies of the law itself, that hinder automation.
One major issue is that many lawyers and law firms feel confident in their methods, leading them to believe they don’t need technology to do things for them.
Current law firms often lack an environment that fosters innovation or automation.
While automation has the potential to add significant value, its successful implementation requires both standardisation and a commitment to automation. This involves not only dedicating time but also establishing the right frameworks to support these changes.
The common belief that lawyers rarely make mistakes fosters the notion that any technological solution is inferior to human performance.
This mindset is especially evident in document recognition tasks. For example, if a software provider claims their deep learning system can identify 90% of relevant documents, it is often dismissed as inadequate, with the assumption that a human associate would perform better. However, the potential for human error—such as fatigue or distraction—is frequently overlooked.
Scepticism towards technological innovation is healthy, but it’s important not to overestimate human capabilities.
