The short answer

What does Sharktech do for law firms?

Liverpool, NSW South Yarra, VIC

Sharktech runs the IT, security, reporting and AI tools behind your practice. We secure Microsoft 365 and email, add checks before bank details change, connect matter and finance data in Power BI, and pilot AI agents that draft and chase work for your lawyers to approve.

Payment-change checks

Secure email and a verified call-back before any bank detail changes.

Numbers in one view

Matter and finance data in Power BI, with lock-up visible early.

AI a lawyer approves

Agents draft and chase. Nothing goes out until a person signs off.

Legal work runs on trust: trust money, privileged files and deadlines that cannot move. Since 1 July 2026, firms providing designated services also carry AML/CTF obligations, adding customer due diligence to intake. Payment redirection scams keep targeting settlements. Sharktech Global is an Australian AI tech lab, with offices in Liverpool, New South Wales and South Yarra, Victoria. We support law firms and conveyancers across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and regional centres.

Why it matters now

Why tighten systems in 2026?

Fraud, new obligations and privacy changes are arriving together. Systems support these obligations. Your practice still owns them.

Problem and solution

Where do firms lose time and money?

Keep work moving. Reduce repeated work. See the business clearly.

The problem

A changed bank detail arrives the day before settlement

If it is paid, the trust shortfall is yours, along with the client's trust in you.

Delivered through Sharktech
Cybersecurity

We lock down email with MFA and filtering, then build a call-back check a principal must approve before any bank detail changes.

What you measure

Every change verified and logged

The problem

Systems slow down when a deadline is close

A failed laptop or locked account on settlement day costs hours you do not have.

Delivered through Sharktech
Managed IT

We monitor devices and Microsoft 365, patch on schedule and test backup restores, with a monthly IT health report.

What you measure

Tickets resolved, restores tested, downtime avoided

The problem

Client details re-keyed across email, forms and the matter system

Every re-key delays the conflict check and customer due diligence.

Delivered through Sharktech
Workflow automation

We map your intake path and automate document collection into one checklist. Your team still makes every conflict and CDD decision.

What you measure

Days from enquiry to file opened

The problem

First drafts start from a blank page

Client updates and settlement reminders eat fee-earner time that could be billed.

Delivered through Sharktech
Secure AI agents

An AI agent drafts from your precedents and matter dates. Nothing is sent until a lawyer approves it.

What you measure

Drafting hours saved each week

The problem

Lock-up only shows up at month end

By then the cash is already late and write-offs are harder to avoid.

Delivered through Sharktech
Business intelligence

We connect practice management and finance data to Power BI, so partners review WIP and debtors every week.

What you measure

Lock-up days, debtor days

The problem

Some matters lose money quietly

Fixed fees overrun and nobody notices until the file closes.

Delivered through Sharktech
Business intelligence

A matter profitability view compares time recorded, billed and collected by matter type and fee earner.

What you measure

Realisation by matter type

Secure AI agents

How do AI agents help safely?

The agent drafts and chases. Your lawyers decide.

Each agent works inside your Microsoft 365 tenancy, with narrow access and a named approver. Material under suppression orders or similar restrictions stays out of AI tools entirely.

How Sharktech deploys agents securely

  1. Narrow accessEach agent sees only the mailbox or folder its job needs.
  2. A named approverA person in your team reviews every output before it is used.
  3. Audit trail and off switchEvery action is logged, and the agent can be stopped at any time.
  4. Privacy check firstA privacy impact assessment comes before go-live. Your data is not used to train public models.
Agents never give legal advice, approve bank details or release trust money.
AGENT 01

Intake and CDD checklist agent

Builds the intake and CDD checklist from each new enquiry, using only the intake mailbox and one folder. A lawyer or conveyancer decides conflicts, CDD and risk rating. Measured by days from enquiry to file opened.

AGENT 02

Client update agent

Drafts weekly client updates and settlement reminders from read-only matter dates. It cannot send. The fee earner approves every message. Measured by update-writing hours saved.

Business intelligence

Reports that build themselves

Dashboards connected to your systems, each tied to a decision. What we can show depends on what your matter system exports. We confirm that in the audit.

  • Lock-up days (WIP plus debtors): when to bill and who to chase
  • Realisation by fee earner and matter type: where to reprice fixed fees
  • Settlements booked per conveyancer: when to rebalance or hire
  • Matter profitability by practice area

Your local team

FAQ FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can AI be used safely with privileged client files?

Yes, with controls. Agents run inside your Microsoft 365 tenancy, see only the folders they need and keep an audit trail. A lawyer reviews every output. Material under suppression orders or similar restrictions stays out of AI tools entirely.

Will this make our firm AML/CTF compliant?

No system can do that on its own. We build workflows that collect client details, record CDD steps and remind your team. The AML/CTF program, risk decisions and reporting stay with your firm and its compliance officer.

Do you connect to our practice management software?

We check your system's export and API options during the audit before promising anything. Where a direct connection is not available, scheduled exports can still feed Power BI reporting.

How do you help reduce payment redirection risk?

We secure email with MFA and filtering, train staff with phishing simulations, and design a verified call-back step for any bank detail change. A principal approves each change, and every approval is logged.

How do we get started?

Book a 30-minute discovery call with our local team. We find the problem costing your firm most and give you a written, costed plan before you commit.

Sharktech AI Tech Lab

Why trust an AI tech lab?

Because we ship our own AI products, not just other people's. The Sharktech AI Tech Lab designs, builds and runs VCPility, AccrualOS, eTakeaway Max and Motivo360, and delivers Flagman AI safety as the exclusive Australian and New Zealand delivery partner for Perleybrook Labs. The same engineers who build those platforms design the dashboards, agents and automation we deploy for you.

We are clear about our limits. We do not give legal, financial or credit advice. Our help desk runs business hours. Serious breaches are contained, then handed to specialist incident response firms.
