5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Troubleshooting a software bug (e.g., in Relativity) Escalate to a senior team member with all collected error messages and logs. Follow their instructions precisely. Diagnose the issue by checking logs, replicating the problem, and consulting knowledge base. Attempt resolution based on known fixes. Escalate to vendor support or senior team if unresolved after initial steps. Independently diagnose, identify root cause, and implement a solution. If vendor involvement is needed, you'll manage the communication and follow-up. You're the expert here.
Prioritising daily support tickets Follow pre-defined prioritisation rules or consult supervisor for guidance on urgent requests. Independently prioritise tickets based on impact, urgency, and established SLAs. Re-prioritise as new urgent requests come in, communicating changes where necessary. Define and refine prioritisation frameworks for the team. Make strategic decisions on resource allocation across multiple urgent issues or projects.
Configuring a new user's access to a DMS (e.g., iManage Work) Follow a step-by-step checklist provided by a senior team member. Any deviation requires approval. Independently set up user accounts and assign standard permissions based on role and practice group. Identify and flag any non-standard access requests for review by a senior team member. Design and implement new permission models or ethical walls. Approve non-standard access requests after assessing risk and compliance implications.
Preparing a standard document production set Assist a senior team member by performing specific tasks like Bates stamping or running QC checks under direct supervision. Independently manage the end-to-end process for standard productions, from data filtering to final load file creation, ensuring all quality checks are completed. Escalate complex redaction issues. Oversee multiple complex productions, including those with intricate redaction requirements or unusual data types. Advise legal teams on defensible production strategies.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Average Ticket Resolution Time (P2 Issues)
How quickly you fix or escalate moderately urgent tech problems that stop a lawyer from working effectively.
Target · < 4 hours

A partner can't access a critical eDiscovery database. You get them back online within 3 hours, meaning they only lost a morning's work, not a whole day.

User Satisfaction (CSAT) Score
Feedback from attorneys and paralegals on the quality and helpfulness of your support for their tech issues.
Target · > 95%

After helping an associate with a complex document search in iManage, they rate your support 5/5 and leave a comment about your patience and clear explanation.

Data Processing Accuracy
The error rate on quality control checks for eDiscovery data loads and productions. This is about making sure no privileged documents slip through and all relevant data is included.
Target · < 1% error rate

You've processed 100,000 documents for a production, and QC only flags 5 documents that were incorrectly redacted or tagged, well within our acceptable margin.

Timeliness of Standard Production Sets
How often you meet the agreed-upon deadlines for preparing and delivering routine document productions to opposing counsel or regulatory bodies.
Target · 98% on-time delivery

You had 20 standard production sets due last month, and 19 of them went out exactly when they were supposed to, with one minor delay due to an external vendor issue.

Proactive Issue Identification
Your ability to spot potential problems with our legal systems or data before they cause bigger headaches for the legal team. This isn't just about fixing; it's about preventing.
  • You flag that a database is nearing its storage limit before it becomes a problem. You notice a recurring user error pattern and suggest a training session to prevent future tickets. You're not just reactive, you're thinking ahead.
Quality of Documentation for Routine Tasks
How well you create and update our internal knowledge base articles and process guides for common tech tasks and troubleshooting steps.
  • New team members can successfully follow your guides to perform basic tasks without needing constant supervision. Your documentation is clear, concise, and actually gets used. It's not just 'tick box' documentation.
Attorney Feedback on Support & Training
The subjective feedback you receive from lawyers and paralegals about your helpfulness, patience, and clarity when providing support or informal training.
  • Attorneys specifically ask for you by name when they have a tech question. You get positive comments in team meetings about how you've simplified a complex process or made a system easier to use. They trust your advice.
Adherence to Legal Process & Defensibility
Ensuring that all your actions, especially with client data and eDiscovery, follow established legal protocols and can be defended if challenged.
  • You consistently follow our chain of custody procedures. You double-check redaction protocols before production. There are no instances where your data handling is questioned by external parties or internal compliance.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Puzzles & Fixing Things

You get a real kick out of tracking down a tricky software bug or figuring out why a data load failed. The satisfaction of getting a system working again for a grateful lawyer is what drives you.

Spending an hour deep in system logs to find the exact line of code causing a document preview error, then deploying the fix and seeing it work perfectly.

Making a Tangible Impact on Efficiency

You're motivated by seeing your efforts directly improve how quickly and effectively the legal team can do their job. You like knowing that because of your work, lawyers are spending less time on admin and more time on law.

Automating a repetitive data tagging process that used to take a paralegal half a day, freeing them up for more complex work.

Learning New Technology

You're genuinely curious about the latest legal tech tools and how they can be applied. You enjoy diving into new software, understanding its capabilities, and becoming an expert on it.

Volunteering to be the first to test a new feature in our CLM system, then sharing your findings and tips with the rest of the team.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Desktop as a DMS' Partner: Dealing with influential senior lawyers who just refuse to use the official document management system, creating massive information governance risks and discovery headaches. You'll spend time chasing documents that should be easily found.
  • Friday 4:59 PM 'Emergency': Getting an urgent, complex data collection or production request at the very end of the day on Friday, with a non-negotiable deadline for Monday morning. Your weekend plans? Gone.
  • Garbage In, Garbage Out: Receiving a messy, disorganised data dump from a client or opposing counsel—think corrupted load files or poorly scanned PDFs—and being expected to magically make it usable. It's like being asked to bake a cake with rotten ingredients.
  • Explaining Metadata (Again): Patiently explaining for the fifth time to the same litigation team why they can't just send native Excel files without risking the exposure of hidden data and formulas. It's a fundamental concept, but it just doesn't stick for some.
  • The Battle with IT: Constantly having to justify why legal-specific software (with its unique security and workflow needs) is necessary, instead of the generic enterprise tool the central IT department wants to force on everyone. It's a constant negotiation.
  • Scope Creep in Discovery: A legal team starts with a narrow set of search terms for a discovery matter, then continually expands them, forcing repeated data processing and re-work, blowing the budget you carefully planned. It's like building a house and the client keeps adding rooms after the foundations are laid.
  • 'Just Push the Button': The assumption from lawyers that complex technical processes are simple, one-click operations, leading to a gross underestimation of the time and care required. They don't see the hours of setup and QC.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable 9-to-5: Expect urgent requests and occasional late nights, especially around production deadlines.
  • Complete autonomy from day one: While you'll own processes, you'll still have a manager for guidance and escalation.
  • Being purely technical: You'll spend a lot of time communicating with non-technical people, translating tech into plain English.
  • A 'set it and forget it' environment: Legal tech is always evolving, and so will your responsibilities and the tools you use.

8Who you work with

Your work directly supports the efficiency and compliance of our entire legal practice. Get it right, and lawyers save hours, data is secure, and we meet court deadlines. Get it wrong, and we could face sanctions, data breaches, or even lose a case. It's a big deal, even if it's behind the scenes. You're safeguarding our firm's reputation and our clients' interests.

Inside the business
  • Attorneys (from junior associates to senior partners)
  • Paralegals and Legal Secretaries
  • IT Department (for infrastructure and security alignment)
  • Practice Group Leads (for specific tech needs)
  • Compliance and Risk Teams
Outside the business
  • Legal Technology Vendors (e.g., Relativity, iManage support teams)
  • eDiscovery Service Providers (for data processing and hosting)
  • External Counsel (when collaborating on data exchange)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of experience in a legal technology support, eDiscovery, or IT support role within a legal environment.
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot software issues and provide clear, patient technical support to non-technical users.
  • Demonstrable experience with at least two of our core legal tech platforms (e.g., Relativity, iManage, Clio) at an intermediate user level.
  • A solid understanding of basic networking concepts (e.g., VPNs, file shares) and how they impact software access.
  • Experience with data handling, including importing/exporting data, basic data manipulation, and quality control checks.
  • A track record of meticulously following processes and documenting your work, especially in a regulated environment.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced eDiscovery Platform Administration

As eDiscovery matters become more complex and data volumes grow, firms need in-house experts who can not only use the platforms but administer them effectively, optimising performance and managing intricate workflows.

Complex Search Query Construction · Review Workflow Optimisation · Troubleshooting Advanced Data Issues · Platform Analytics & Reporting

  • This month: Take on more complex eDiscovery search requests from attorneys. Really dig into the platform's advanced search features.
  • Next 2 months: Shadow the Senior Legal Technology Coordinator or a Lead Technologist during a complex data load or review workflow setup. Ask lots of questions.
  • Month 3-4: Volunteer to lead a small, less critical eDiscovery project from start to finish, including setting up the review protocol and managing the production.
  • Month 5-6: Pursue advanced certifications for our primary eDiscovery platform (e.g., Relativity Certified Administrator (RCA) or Disco Certified Administrator).

Quick win: Spend an hour each week exploring the 'admin' or 'advanced settings' sections of Relativity or Disco. You'll be surprised what you find and what you can learn by just clicking around (carefully!).

Legal Data Visualisation & Reporting

Lawyers are increasingly data-driven. They need to understand trends in litigation, contract performance, or operational efficiency. Being able to present complex legal data in clear, impactful visualisations will be a huge asset.

Data Storytelling · Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Legal · Dashboard Design Principles · Data Extraction & Transformation (ETL Basics)

  • This month: Start using Excel's advanced charting features to visualise data from your daily work (e.g., ticket resolution times, user satisfaction trends).
  • Next 2 months: Explore free online tutorials for Power BI or Tableau. Try connecting them to a simple dataset (e.g., anonymised support ticket data).
  • Month 3-4: Propose and build a small dashboard for your manager or a practice group, focusing on a specific operational metric. Get feedback on clarity and usefulness.
  • Month 5-6: Take a formal course on data visualisation or business intelligence tools, perhaps even aiming for an entry-level certification.

Quick win: For your next internal report or presentation, ditch the bullet points and try to represent at least one key piece of information as a simple chart or graph. It forces you to think visually.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry webinars and conferences focused on legal technology and eDiscovery (e.g., LegalTech, Relativity Fest).
  • Subscribing to legal tech publications and blogs to stay up-to-date with new tools and trends.
  • Participating in online forums or user groups for specific legal software to learn from peers and share knowledge.
  • Taking advantage of internal training programmes for new software features or firm-specific processes.
  • Seeking out opportunities to shadow more senior legal technologists or eDiscovery managers to learn advanced techniques.

    • Vendor Relationship Management (acting as a primary contact for specific tech vendors)
Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, legal tech can be a bit of a grind sometimes. Repetitive tasks, endless documentation, and sifting through mountains of data. But what if you could offload some of that to a smart assistant? Our firm is leaning into AI to make your job less about the tedious stuff and more about the interesting challenges.

As a Legal Technology Coordinator, you're perfectly placed to use AI to supercharge your daily work. We're talking about automating the boring bits, getting insights faster, and making your support for the legal team even more impactful. Here's a glimpse of how AI tools could fit into your week:

Automated Ticket Triage & Response

Imagine an AI integrated with our Jira Service Management. It reads incoming support requests, instantly categorises them (e.g., 'Password Reset', 'Relativity Export Issue'), and then, crucially, provides an immediate initial response with a link to the most relevant knowledge base article. This means fewer simple tickets landing on your plate, letting you focus on the trickier problems. It's like having a super-smart receptionist for our tech support.

Accelerated Document Prioritisation

When you're dealing with millions of documents in eDiscovery, finding the 'hot' ones is like finding a needle in a haystack. Technology Assisted Review (TAR) using Active Learning in Relativity lets AI learn from a senior attorney's coding decisions on a small set of documents. It then predicts the relevance of the remaining documents, pushing the most likely important ones to the front of the review queue. This can save weeks or even months on large-scale reviews, saving immense costs and getting to the core of the case faster.

Draft User Guides & Training FAQs

After we roll out a new feature in iManage or update a workflow in Clio, you'd usually spend hours drafting user guides and FAQs. Now, you can use a generative AI to create the first draft based on project documentation and vendor release notes. You'll then refine and edit it for our firm's specific context, adding that human touch. This isn't about replacing you, it's about giving you a head start and cutting down on the tedious writing.

Legal Research Summary & Analysis

When an attorney needs a quick overview of a niche legal topic or a summary of recent case law, you can use an AI assistant to quickly pull together key points from Westlaw Edge or Lexis Advance search results. It won't replace deep legal analysis, but it'll give you a fantastic starting point for answering their queries or preparing a brief for them. It's about getting to the essence of the information much faster.
