Our Story: Bridging Business Vision with Technological Reality
"We believe great lawyers deserve great systems. Our mission is to empower small law firms with the cutting-edge AI strategies and processes they need to compete with larger firms, without the enterprise-level price tag. We envision a legal industry where technology handles the administrative burden, freeing attorneys to practice law, serve their clients, and build thriving businesses."
Our Story
Our founder, Erik Van Winkle, honed his expertise in technology consulting, working closely with legal teams on complex M&A projects for Fortune 500 companies at a Big 4 firm like EY. Through this experience, he gained a profound understanding of how technology, particularly AI and emerging solutions, could drive significant efficiencies. However, he also recognized a crucial disconnect: many technology implementations fail not due to the tech itself, but due to a lack of alignment with core business objectives.
The Business-First Approach: Technology as a Strategic Asset
At JurisIntel Consulting, we firmly believe that business drives technology, not the other way around. This philosophy is central to Erik's approach. Instead of simply introducing the latest software, we begin by deeply understanding your firm's unique business goals, operational challenges, and desired outcomes. Whether it's streamlining client intake, optimizing document review, or enhancing overall efficiency, we identify the specific pain points and opportunities that technology can address.
Erik's business-first mindset ensures that every technological recommendation and implementation is directly tied to a tangible business benefit. We focus on solutions that will genuinely improve your firm's profitability, client satisfaction, and competitive standing. This isn't about adopting technology for technology's sake; it's about strategically leveraging it to achieve your firm's strategic objectives and improve your technological readiness in a way that makes business sense.
Erik founded JurisIntel Consulting to bridge the gap between advanced technological capabilities and the practical, affordable needs of small law firms. We bring the strategic rigor of big-tech consulting and the innovative mindset of a startup founder to the legal field, but with a crucial difference: our solutions are practical, affordable, and built specifically to give small law firms the leverage to compete and win.
