ShareDo wins Alliance of the Year at the 2024 British Legal Technology Awards

A Partnership That Delivers Real Change

We’re very excited to announce that ShareDo, in partnership with Horwich Farrelly (HF), has been named Alliance of the Year at the 2024 British Legal Technology Awards.

This award recognises how two organisations, working together closely, can achieve significant results. Our partnership with HF has modernised how they manage legal cases, improved efficiency, and created better outcomes for their clients.

From Vision to Reality

HF set out to modernise its systems as part of a larger transformation project. They wanted to replace legacy systems with a modern, cloud-based solution that would:

  • Cut case handling times and improve client service.
  • Empower their legal teams to focus on meaningful work instead of admin.
  • Scale with their business as it grows and evolves.

The first implementation project was in HF’s Ireland office. In just six weeks, the ShareDo system was live and managing hundreds of cases. This wasn’t just a technical success—it set the tone for how the partnership would work, with time-to-value and rapid iteration being a key driver.

Building Independence and Confidence

One of our main goals was to make sure HF’s team could manage and adapt ShareDo on their own. To achieve this, we embedded our consultants into their teams, providing hands-on training and support during the rollout.

By the end of the first project, HF’s developers were confident enough to take the lead. They’ve since rolled out ShareDo to other practice areas like employment law, real estate, and corporate work—all on their own. This approach has saved time, reduced costs, and allowed HF to move quickly.

Why This Partnership Works

The key to this partnership is trust and openness. Both teams have been upfront about challenges and focused on solving them together. By working as a single unit, we’ve avoided the usual frustrations of large technology projects.

Our shared goals have also helped. From the start, we agreed that the project wasn’t just about delivering a system—it was about improving how HF operates and creating real value for their clients.

Looking Ahead

Winning this award is a proud moment, but it’s just the beginning. HF’s rollout of ShareDo is ongoing, with plans to expand into more areas of the business. Together, we’re exploring new ways to use data, automation, and AI to make legal work even more efficient and effective.

To HF: thank you for being such a collaborative and driven partner. Here’s to many more successes ahead!
