"What I love about Will's observations and advice is that he moves away from technology as a start point and talks about the impact on client experience. He recognises that there is no one element that will bring success, it is multi facet and you need a plan for each."

Come and see
See for yourself what a digital practice looks like, what is different, and how we utilise technology.
You’ll leave the day inspired (and even relieved)! You'll know the tools and processes you can use, and you'll have more clarity on what your firm's digital strategy will look like.
"We had an excellent day at Will’s fantastic offices in Norwich (Wow! Wish I’d had the chance to work somewhere like that when I first started out!). When we came away, both of us were much more on the same page, with a much clearer vision of where we wanted to be and the steps to get there."
