Law firms in the UK spend over £8.3bn annually on business services. A 10% efficiency gain across that spend unlocks an immediate £800m cost-saving opportunity, and Legal Engine is purpose-built to help realise it.  

But that’s just the baseline. 

The real prize is the revenue that’s currently left on the table. 

Firms lose opportunities every day because: 

• CRM systems are incomplete 

• Great matters don’t make it into pitches or directories 

• Cross-selling opportunities never get followed up 

This isn’t just inefficiency. It’s latent revenue sitting idle. Every unrealised cross-referral, missed pitch inclusion, or poorly captured credential represents tens or hundreds of thousands in potential revenue. 

A 5% uplift in revenue, unlocked by giving every lawyer in a firm access to best-in-class marketing and business development support would generate over £2.3 billion in new revenue for the UK legal sector. 

Meanwhile, voice-first, agentic AI is maturing fast. For the first time, law firms can adopt tools that actually work the way lawyers do: conversational, fast, and low-friction. This is a once-in-a-generation chance to embed AI in the commercial engine of the firm, not just the legal one.
