A connected ecosystem for the business of law
UFT brings legal expertise, legal talent, legal operations and technology together so organizations can access the right legal capability for the right requirement at the right time.
Connecting the capabilities behind modern legal work
Legal requirements are rarely limited to one type of support. Organizations may need qualified professionals, operational resources, legal services or technology at different points in the same matter.
UFT brings these capabilities together so organizations can define what they need and access an appropriate combination of people, services, operations and technology.
Four connected legal capabilities
UFT brings complementary capabilities together around the requirements of legal teams and organizations.
Legal Expertise
Access to legal knowledge and appropriately qualified professionals for defined requirements.
Legal Talent
Attorneys, paralegals, researchers, legal operations professionals and other legal specialists.
Legal Operations
Processes, support and resources that help legal teams organize and manage their work.
Legal Technology
Technology and automation for matters, contracts, documents, workflows, reporting and legal operations.
Make legal capability easier to access
UFT is designed to help organizations identify and connect the legal people, services and technology required for changing workloads and business needs.
Make legal capability easier to access and easier to run
We believe organizations should be able to find the right legal expertise, professionals and technology without navigating separate providers for each need.
UFT brings these capabilities together around the requirement itself, helping organizations identify the appropriate combination of people, services, operations and technology.

What UFT is and is not
UFT brings legal workforce, services, operational support and technology capabilities together around organizational requirements. The specific role UFT performs can vary by engagement and applicable law.
