Alastair Monte Carlo is a fractional CTO and AI strategist for firms that need senior technical leadership without a full time hire. 21+ years of enterprise delivery, now focused where the stakes are highest: law firms deploying AI on privileged client work.
Not a reseller. Not a vendor's partner program. An independent technologist who sits on your side of the table, answers to your partners, and puts his name on the architecture.
Most firms do not need another tool. They need one person who understands the technology, the ethics rules, and the vendor market, and who is accountable for all three. Four disciplines cover it.
A structured review of your data, workflows, security posture, and staff capability before any AI contract is signed. You learn what your firm can deploy today, what needs groundwork, and what to refuse.
Every deployment is documented, access controlled, and auditable, built to satisfy ABA Model Rule 1.6 obligations and client scrutiny. When a client or court asks how your firm uses AI, you have an answer in writing.
CoCounsel, Harvey, Luminance, and the long tail of legal AI vendors, evaluated on your matters and your data, with no commissions or partner incentives shaping the recommendation.
Defense grade security methodology applied to privileged client data: encryption standards, access architecture, audit trails, and incident readiness that stand up to client security questionnaires.
Two decades as an entrepreneur building and shipping systems for enterprise clients, from Xbox prototype delivery to zero downtime migrations for Canon. The same discipline now protects law firms adopting AI.
Every engagement below runs on the same spine: assess, architect, secure, train, measure. Pick the one that matches the decision your firm is facing.
Unlock the 80% of CoCounsel capability that vendor onboarding leaves on the table.
