About ALT Consulting
ALT Consulting exists because law firm technology does not stay aligned on its own.
Most systems are set up thoughtfully, reflecting how a firm operates at a specific point in time. However, as the firm evolves those systems often remain fixed, quietly drifting out of step with the way work actually happens.
As firms grow, small mismatches accumulate. Roles change. Volume increases. Exceptions become routine. Over time, decisions that were once clear begin requiring clarification and follow-up—not because anything broke, but because the firm outgrew its assumptions.
ALT exists to help firms maintain alignment as conditions change, so systems support how the firm operates today rather than how they operated when first put in place.
What Alignment Means in Practice
When systems are aligned, work moves forward without constant clarification.
Matters progress the way leadership expects them to. Reviews happen at defined points rather than through ad hoc check-ins, and billing reflects how the firm operates. Reporting answers real questions without requiring manual cleanup or reconciliation.
In practice, this means people are no longer compensating for the system. The structure is carried by the system itself, rather than by memory, side conversations, or informal workarounds.
How ALT Works With Firm Leadership
Alignment requires clear ownership.
Leadership sets direction. ALT ensures that direction is carried consistently through the firm’s systems as the firm grows and conditions change.
We translate firm decisions into operational structure inside the technology. We help maintain that structure over time, so leadership can stay focused on direction without being pulled back into day-to-day system detail.
This continuity ensures that decisions do not need to be revisited simply because the firm has added people, volume, or complexity.
The Difference
Most firms revisit the same technology decisions because there is no clear process for maintaining alignment over time.
ALT focuses on continuity.
Technology decisions are treated as ongoing commitments and evaluated in the context of how the firm operates today. A workflow that worked well at ten attorneys is intentionally revisited before it quietly breaks at twenty-five.
This approach allows firms to grow without repeatedly rebuilding, re-deciding, or re-explaining how their systems are meant to work.
This work is rarely urgent in the moment, but it matters over time. ALT is built to be steady, deliberate, and consistent—so firms are not forced to revisit the same decisions as they grow.
