For UK law firms weighing up AI
46 Copilot & Claude use cases. And the ROI they could give
We've mapped 46 use cases for UK law firms. What Copilot handles as it stands, what needs to be connected to your case management system, what needs Claude for the longer documents, and what your PMS already does without any of it. Our five-minute calculator filters that to your practice areas and puts a number against each. No hype, no hard sell, no fictional numbers.

AI in law: real, but harder than it looks
Every AI vendor in the market is pitching your firm right now. Some of it is genuine; a lot of it isn’t. The hard question isn’t whether AI works in law; the research is now clear that it does. It’s where the money is best spent in your practice, and what it’s worth against the cost.
Just Five minutes
The Nexian AI ROI Calculator
Tell us how big your firm is, which practice areas you run, and which use cases matter, and we’ll show you what AI could genuinely be worth.
Your firm-specific
ROI
Hours reclaimed per year across your fee earners, Year 1 net benefit after build costs, three-year cumulative net, and payback timeline — all against your actual charge-out rate and practice mix.
46 Use cases, Mapped and Priced
Every scope Nexian delivers, from Copilot augmentations through to larger PMS-integrated builds, is tiered by delivery risk and matched to the practice areas you tick. See exactly what would move the needle in your firm.
Works with
Your PMS
Whether you’re on Actionstep, Clio, LEAP, Osprey or one of the more established systems, the calculator adjusts for what integration with your specific PMS actually costs. We don’t pretend every firm’s setup is the same.
Illustrative Pricing,
Not a Quotation
Every price shown is an entry-level estimate for that use case. Your firm’s actual pricing depends on your matter templates, playbooks and practice mix. The calculator sizes the opportunity; a discovery call turns the estimate into a delivery plan.
Built by the only partner that runs both sides
Firms tell us they experience the same recurring problem: one supplier for their case management system, another for Microsoft 365 and security, and no one connecting the two. Nexian is the only UK partner that both implements legal practice and case management — as Actionstep Global Partner of the Year 2026 — and runs the Microsoft 365, cloud, security and IT beneath it. The AI use cases in the calculator are the ones we actually deliver, not a wish list from a marketing brochure.
Actionstep Global Partner of the Year 2026
Recognised for our work with UK law firms on practice management and integrated delivery.
Grounded in independent research
Every productivity assumption in the calculator anchors to Thomson Reuters, Clio, PwC and LexisNexis UK research — not vendor case studies.

No obligation
Not ready to invest in AI yet? Run it anyway.
Not every firm using this calculator is ready to spend on AI this year. That’s fine. Some partners use it to sanity-check what a vendor is claiming. Some use it to build a board paper. Some just want to understand where the sector is going before they act. All of it is welcome — the calculator is free, there’s no obligation, and there’s no hard sell at the end. If the numbers do stack up for your firm, we’re here.
