AI capability and governance for regulated firms
Your regulator has put AI competence on you. We make sure your people have it.
On 17 August 2026 the SRA told every firm that supervisors remain accountable for AI-assisted work, that the people they manage must be competent to use it, and that every authority put before a court must be genuine and verifiable. Lextrapolate builds the programme, the champions and the record that answer that.

Where the profession is
Adoption is settled. Competence is not.
Three figures from 2026, each cited to the survey that produced it.

Staff are pasting client details into free AI tools because nobody has said what is allowed. That is a supervision failure before it is a technology one. What the regulators say →
I think it is imperative to build bridges in the legal community between the AI sceptics and the AI enthusiasts. There is no real choice about whether lawyers and judges embrace AI — they will have to — and there are very good reasons why they should do so — albeit cautiously and responsibly, taking the time that lawyers always like to take before they accept any radical change.

How a programme runs
Four stages. A written deliverable at each.
The shape of a firm-wide capability programme. The Foundation package stops after the cohorts; the recommended package adds the champions.
Survey
Weeks one to two. Anonymous and segmented by role and practice area. You get a findings report to the board.
Discovery
Weeks two to three. Half-day workshops with practice groups, business services and risk. You get a learning needs analysis and practice register.
Cohorts
Weeks four to eight. Partners, practice groups, other fee earners, business services, hands-on, on fictional matters in your practice areas. You get materials, a prompt and skill library, and an attendance record.
Champions
Weeks six to eighteen, in the recommended package. Twelve to fifteen people chosen from the first cohorts and trained to carry it on. Every package closes with written recommendations to the COLP; the recommended package adds a 90-day review.
Frequently asked questions
