We audit your firm's practices role by role, the workflows and the AI usage already in place, and we hand you a prioritized roadmap. A sovereign diagnosis that stands on its own.

Bringing in AI means knowing how the firm already works: how matters flow, where time is lost, which tasks repeat. This baseline conditions everything else. Without it, AI gets deployed onto shaky processes and the gains evaporate.
We also map the AI usage already in place. This unmanaged shadow AI carries a real ethics and GDPR risk. Flushing it out is part of the diagnosis.
This is what we produce before any integration, license purchase or training plan begins.
A field engagement run at your firm by two to three Zevra consultants. We interview your teams, observe your workflows and deliver a map of your possible AI use cases, with a prioritized roadmap.
The deliverable is self-contained. You leave with a plan you can execute in-house, with another provider, or with us. No follow-on work is forced on you.
We audit your practices workflow by workflow before we ever talk about AI.
The actions that concentrate most of the gains, in the order to tackle them.
Sovereign recommendations, hosted where you want, with no reuse of your data or your prompts. AI adapts to your firm, not the other way around.
Our consultants interview the relevant people (45 to 90 minutes each, structured framework). In parallel, we audit your processes: document flows, tools, integrations, the LegalOps in place and the ones still to build.
A video debrief in front of the Partners and the steering committee (90 minutes). Deliverables handed over within 10 business days after the fieldwork.
How time is really spent, task by task.
Wherever people improvise, there is a use case to industrialize.
The repetitive tasks with a high cognitive cost.
Redundancies across matters, templates that are never reused.
Adoption is as much about people as it is about technology.
Licenses, subscriptions to legal databases, practice tools: what the firm already pays for, and what AI could rationalize.
AI touches every function of the firm. We interview them all, adapting the depth to the size: everyone at a 10-person firm, a sample per function at an 80-person firm.
Alongside the interviews, our CTO audits your environment: ERP, document repository, integrations, the state of your data, interoperability. We assess what can plug into AI and what needs cleaning up first.
The solutions benchmark favors sovereignty: hosting where you want or compatibility with your security constraints, an analysis of dependencies and confidentiality, budget estimates and integration terms for each option.
A Zevra diagnosis is not a generalist consultant's audit: we know how to build what we recommend.
A map of services and use cases, structured by role and by use case. Includes an AI maturity assessment of the firm and a risk analysis (ethics, GDPR, security, reputation). Each use case is qualified against several criteria: impact, technical feasibility, maturity, time savings, implementation cost, adoption effort required.
Project prioritization, deployment schedule, quick wins within the first weeks. Which use case to deploy first, with which tools, for which role, with which upskilling plan.
A comparison of market tools, prioritizing sovereign solutions or those compatible with your security requirements, with budget estimates and integration terms.
Internal usage rules (client confidentiality, professional secrecy, GDPR, human validation, quality, traceability), proposed governance, steering indicators.
Team awareness, change management by role and by department, organizational and operational impacts, adoption recommendations. The Campus is one of the levers for executing it.
Inventory of tools in place, anonymized interview transcripts, mapping of document flows.
For firms that want to frame their AI approach before committing time and budget. From a five-person practice to an organization of more than eighty, the engagement adapts in duration and in team size.
The same method applies to the institutions of the profession (bar associations, CARPA, training bodies), with the same requirements of sovereignty and professional secrecy.
The mapping lets you prioritize and cost out what comes next. Three modes of engagement, defined according to your priorities.
Build the custom tools and the connectors to your databases, drive adoption role by role, support the organization over time.
Our training tool in service of the engagement: bring teams up to speed on the identified use cases, in person, online or white-label.
Usage framework, compliance, steering indicators, extending the policy delivered at the audit.
None of these paths is mandatory. The roadmap is yours.
Our applications run on OVHcloud infrastructure, the most certified European cloud provider. Your data stays in France, under European law, in audited datacenters.
