Why I Wrote This Book...

After nearly 30 years in legal tech, I’ve seen the same story unfold again and again.

A firm sets out to buy new software – full of energy, good intentions, and a long list of features. The demo is slick, the vendor is charming, and the RFP ticks all the boxes. But somewhere between the selection and the go-live, things start to unravel. The solution doesn’t solve the problem. Adoption plateaus. Improvement stalls. And months later, someone quietly asks, “Did we actually get what we needed?”

That gap – between what tech promises and what it actually delivers – is where this book began.

Beyond the Features is my attempt to change that story. It’s not about chasing the latest platform or running another product bake-off. It’s about helping firms ask better questions, define real success, and make strategic decisions that stick. The kind of decisions that lead to lasting value, not just short-term fixes.

I wrote this book to get 30 years of lessons out of my head and into a format others could use – to avoid the common traps, skip the unnecessary detours, and focus on what actually works.

If you’ve ever led (or survived) a legal tech project and thought “there has to be a better way” – this book is for you.
