Where is the real digital risk in your firm?
The Digital Risk Index 2026 scores 15 areas of digital activity across the legal sector, from CRM and data to AI discovery and paid media, and shows where ambition and readiness conflict.
Built from candid, anonymised interviews with senior marketing, BD and digital leaders at law firms across the UK. No hype, no jargon, just where the real exposure sits and what to fix first.
Six findings your next budget conversation needs
Each finding comes with the scores behind it, what leaders told us, and the practical shift to make. Here’s a taste — the detail is in the report.
