Innovation

Innovation underlies everything that we do at CMS, so if you’re looking for accessible, practical innovation that brings real value to your business, team or legal operations, please get in touch. Our CMS by Design offering outlines our approach, culture, and the combination of teams and technologies along with real world successes that show how we work collaboratively with clients to find innovative ways of solving legal challenges in practice.

In a rapidly changing world, all law firms talk about reinventing legal service delivery, embracing technology and having an innovative culture.  We know our clients want to see more innovation from their law firms and within their own organisation. Our approach cuts through the hype, making innovation real in day-to-day work and when it matters most, with our high quality services and new ways to deliver. We are not interested in novelty or disruption if it doesn’t yield results. Our innovation and technology solves real problems and generates value for our clients and our business.

How we help our clients innovate

We know that not all in-house teams have the time to keep up with the fast-paced legal tech landscape or have a working strategy to reinvent their team for the digital age. That is why, we also offer our clients legal operations expertise and consult on the transformation of their teams and technology stack.

Developing an innovative culture

At CMS, Innovation is not just a buzzword, we are committed to bringing Innovation to life across all our member firms and markets. However we know that one size doesn’t fit all. 

New technology is nothing without the right people, process and knowledge. It rarely sits successfully on the status quo which is why we constantly challenge ourselves to really listen to you and then look again at every element of the service we provide. You want value, certainty and excellence  - so what can we do better?
