Is your legal team ready to embrace AI?
The legal industry is poised for a transformative era driven by the integration of AI technologies. We demystify the process and present a structured approach to assist legal teams with adopting (Generative) AI.
Our three takeaways:
- Always look at the process first. If you digitize a broken process through AI, you will only get a digitized broken process.
- Do your homework. Before implementing AI solutions, ensure that internal data and know-how are optimised.
- Decide on a governance model. Do you let your team experiment ad-hoc, or do you want to define specific use cases or both? Make an active choice.

Why choose us?
More and more companies trust us with their transformation projects. Here’s why they went with us:
We manage expectations
It’s easy to talk big and overlook the daily pressures and obstacles. We take a different path. We translate existing challenges into tangible solutions that work within a reasonable timeframe.
We put process before tech
The array of new legal tech offerings can be overwhelming. Our focus is on establishing lean and optimized processes before introducing new legal tech solutions.
We stay until it's done
Sharing our insights is only 10% of the work. We stay on board until the other 90% has been implemented. We actively implement the roadmap, following up on the project management and achieving the key results we presented.
We've been there
We’ve all worked as lawyers or in-house counsel ourselves, so we know what we’re talking about. We know what made us enthusiastic and also what demotivated us. That is why ‘getting things done’ always prevails over complex consultancy methodology.
Case
in the spotlight
Recognizing the importance of performant knowledge management, Gimv Legal asked Ask Q to assist in further developing its knowledge management. Gimv’s request was twofold: implement digital tools that make optimal use of the Office 365 context and produce and consolidate (existing tacit) legal knowledge.
Hear it from our clients
We asked our clients to give their opinions about working with Ask Q.
-
Ask Q’s offering was truly unique, in the sense that I have not come across any other service provider that can offer both the legal expertise and the technical and operational knowledge in an integrated way. This unique combination guaranteed the successful implementation of this rather complex digital transformation project.
