Alacrity means ‘with joyful haste’. It’s not generally a word that springs to mind when thinking about the delivery of legal services. We built Alacrity because we think that it should.

We all know the horror stories. The bill that came in 3x what it was supposed to, advice filled with technical analysis that doesn’t actually answer the question, loads of promised partner time and yet the only one who answers the phone is a second year associate. These outcomes often feel more like features when working with law firms rather than bugs. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Making progress requires taking a relationship based approach so that your firms benefit positively from the change you want to see. It’s about setting expectations, monitoring progress and holding everyone to account. Structure and data around these elements translates into value for your business with a lot less friction with your firms. We think that working together to do better means mutual benefit for both. We created Alacrity to ensure that every time you go external you feel that joyful haste.
