An embedded consulting engagement with one of your legal sub-teams — contracts, employment, IP, privacy, litigation, or whichever group you choose. M41 audits the team's day-to-day workflows, builds custom AI playbooks around their actual matters, and runs weekly working sessions to embed the practice.
Every adoption engagement is custom-scoped. The shape below is what a typical engagement looks like — usually 6–10 weeks, with one sub-team. We adjust phasing, length, and depth based on what your team needs.
What gets locked in depends on the sub-team. Common examples:
Building out your negotiating playbooks. First-pass markup of incoming contracts against those playbooks. Issue spotting, key-term extraction, deviation flagging. Where the team can lean on the AI and where to double-check.
Making your team's institutional knowledge searchable. Templates, prior matters, internal memos — pulled into a structure your lawyers can query in natural language.
Summarizing long documents, pulling key dates and obligations, drafting first-pass memos. Where AI is genuinely good and the verification step is cheap.
Structured intake from emails or forms, initial classification, routing to the right person. The first 15 minutes of a matter, automated.
Reading status updates, flagging anomalies in invoices, summarizing matter reports. Reducing the time partners spend reading versus deciding.
If your team doesn't have an AI use policy yet, we draft one with you. If you do, we make it usable. Either way, we design the rollout so adoption doesn't fade after week three.
Most teams who book this engagement have already done our Custom AI Training Program, or a similar training from another consultancy. The training establishes literacy and gives everyone shared language. The Workflow Adoption Engagement is where that literacy turns into actual practice on real matters. Some teams book both together as a combined engagement.

Every engagement is custom-scoped. Pricing varies with team size, the workflows you want to lock in, and the engagement length. We confirm pricing in writing after the free 30-minute scoping call, when we have enough detail to scope the work properly.
Sometimes. If your team has already had AI training from another consultancy or has self-taught their way to functional AI use, yes. If your team is starting from scratch, we'll usually recommend starting with the training so everyone has shared vocabulary before we embed.
That's exactly what the workflow audit (Weeks 1–2) is designed to answer. Common choices: contracts (high-volume repetitive work), knowledge management (cross-team value), or whichever sub-team has the most enthusiastic early adopters. We'll help you pick on the scoping call.
The engagement is built around a small group — usually 4–10 people from one sub-team. The weekly coaching sessions work best with a focused group. Broader team rollouts happen in subsequent engagements.
Yes. Most adoption engagements are virtual — weekly sessions over video, async support in between. We can also do hybrid (kickoff and Week 8 handoff in-person, the rest remote) for Austin-area teams.
That's normal — the workflow audit often surfaces opportunities the team didn't know to ask for. The scope is flexible within the 8-week container. If it shifts dramatically (e.g., we need to bring in a second sub-team), we'll scope an extension together.
Yes. Everything we build during the engagement — prompts, playbooks, the practice document, training materials — is yours. We're not licensing access. You can adapt, rewrite, and distribute internally however you want.
This is a defined-scope engagement with a clear end. We've found that legal teams adopt better when there's an actual "we're done" milestone — otherwise the practice never fully transfers to the team. If you want ongoing support after Week 8, we can discuss it, but the goal is for your team to not need us.
