Independent technology and compliance advice for law firms

Most law firms have built their technology by accident. Tools overlap, contracts get signed on the vendor’s terms, and AI arrives faster than the rules allow. I help firms across Europe bring order to it. The right tools, working as one system, and actually used by the people who do the work.

I also check your technology against GDPR, the EU AI Act, and local rules. Together, we uncover where you stand and what to fix first. Then I give you a clear plan to close the gaps.

Igor Nikitin

Founder and Principal Adviser, Surediligence

For more than 20 years I have led enterprise technology sales at Apple, Nokia, Elsevier, Springer Nature, and LexisNexis. I worked through complex procurement cycles in highly regulated industries, and led change and transformation projects from the inside. The technology was never the hard part. The hardest was always making it fit how a firm actually works, and getting people to use it.

Most law firms have never had that support. Tools get bought on a strong pitch and signed on the vendor's terms. One firm I saw was paying for three overlapping practice management systems and using none of them. The advice comes from vendors, resellers, or consultants on referral fees. That gap is why I built Surediligence — independent, with no vendor ties and fixed fees.
