Simon Hill on Legal Tech and the Future of Law Firms

Consortium - more than marketing recently invited Simon Hill, CEO and Co-Founder of Xperate, onto the more than marketing podcast to discuss how legal tech is evolving and what law firms should be preparing for over the next decade.

Simon and Lara Squires, Director at Consortium, discuss how technology can act as genuine support for legal teams when it is designed and implemented with purpose. Rather than overwhelming people with new systems, the right tools should simplify processes, enhance consistency and free up time for higher-value work.

The conversation also addresses some common misconceptions around overseas outsourcing and international expansion. Simon explains what effective global resourcing really looks like and how it can strengthen both operational capacity and client delivery when managed correctly.

Another key topic is the importance of strong data foundations. Before firms consider investing in AI or automation, they need clean, structured and reliable data. Without this groundwork, advanced tools simply cannot deliver meaningful results. As Simon highlights, getting this right early will determine how successfully firms adopt new technologies in the years ahead.

The episode offers a practical look at where the sector is heading and what firms should be prioritising now if they want to move forward with confidence.
