Baskerville Drummond LLP

Baskerville Drummond is a IT Consultancy who specialise in supporting Law Firms and Chambers with their technology strategy and product implementation. The firm was in October 2011 by David Baskerville, initially undertaking sub-contractor or interim project roles before changing tack to more traditional consultancy.

With a true passion for technology, we bring a wealth of experience and energy to your projects. Our clients see us as a ‘safe pair of hands’ tackling IT challenges head on so that they are resolved with the minimum of fuss.

Our aim is that most of your IT should be invisible, working well in the background as a platform so that you can focus on the really exciting stuff, the type of technology that will make you stand out from your competitors and allow you to provide differentiating levels of client service.

Our Mission:

To de-mystify law firm IT and be the trusted and independent technology advisor to every UK-based law firm.

1) Review

We carry out detailed reviews that deliver an independent assessment of your current IT service and provide options to support your short and long-term business goals.

We can provide a full IT strategic review or focused reviews on particular aspects

2) Select

We are experienced in supporting firms in the definition of requirements and the identification and procurement of the best solution. Be that Software, an out-sourced service or enhancement of internal skills.

We are equally as versed at negotiating improvements with an existing solution.

3) Implement

From our perspective, the most successful projects are those that we help to deliver, ensuring that you can maximise on our knowledge of your firm and the time spent in reviewing the requirements and selecting the right solutions

Depending on the size of your internal team and their capabilities, we can provide high level support or a more hands on service.

4) Support

We are proud of the fact that many of our client engagements far outlast the initial project, and we are often retained to provide longer term strategic support.

We are able to provide experience from our years working in Legal Practice and further years working as consultants with many firms and suppliers.

5) Training

We support our clients with using their IT systems effectively by training their staff on the software and processes they need to use in their day-to-day roles. This could be implementation training on a new product, or some upskill training on existing ones. We also offer support to new starters with our bespoke new starter induction programmes.

Training is an essential part of firms understanding their IT.
