Catherine is a leading expert in her field that brings a powerful combination of legal knowledge, technology expertise and an adept ability to engage people. She is great to work with, bringing creativity and ideas that are at the forefront of change in the legal sector. Having recently completed a project together, Catherine really delivered beyond the brief and I wouldn’t have any hesitation to recommend her work to others.

Jonathan Patterson – Managing Partner, DWF Ventures

My team worked with the BamLegal team to automate a full suite of real estate transaction documents. The BamLegal team was easy to work with, reliable and great value for money. They know their stuff and delivered on time and on budget. I loved the fact that there was no “only two reviews of this document” requirement in our contract. You never really know how much time it will take when doing an automation for the first time and Catherine’s experienced team turned our first automation job into a breeze. We learnt a lot from dealing with the team and would recommend their services.

Sean Massingham – Head of Knowledge Management at Anjarwalla & Khanna

Catherine delivers. She persuades and influences through her results, and she works hard and creatively to achieve them. She grasps the detail, but never forgets the bigger picture - and will often tell you what that picture should look like.

David Halliwell – Director of Knowledge, Risk and Legal Services

Catherine adds value to document automation initiatives by knowing the technology, understanding how lawyers and PSLs want to work to create templates and aligning this to the business objectives of creating quality documents quickly and consistently.

David Wood – Head of Business Projects

I’ve worked with Catherine for over a year now and I can honestly say, I don’t think there’s been a single conversation where I haven’t felt energised, intrigued, educated and happy! Her knowledge of the legal market is second to none, but what really shines through is her ability to listen, to understand and then to act on what she’s heard. Her positive and effervescent personality means that she can get the best out of everyone. This year she hosted a fascinating series of round tables for us, bringing together change and digital transformation leaders from a dozen of the UK’s top law firms. Not only can she draw on an excellent network of senior specialists within the industry, but her facilitation skills are clear for all to see. She made these sessions informative, inclusive and fun for everyone involved…and I’m looking forward to kick off the next phase with her in the coming weeks.

Russell Sanderson - Commercial Director, Technology, Outsourcing & Professional Services

Catherine makes document automation simple. Catherine’s advice and expertise have enabled us to progress our automation project at a pace I hadn’t thought possible. Catherine is a leader in her field.

Alistair Maiden – Senior Commercial Lawyer

Catherine Bamford has worked on key automation projects for Mourant, liaising with Partners to bring efficiencies to the business. Catherine always demonstrated a great deal of investment in the success of our automation service, with her openness to give suggestions and share ideas for improvement. Everyone who has worked with Catherine speaks very highly of their experience, which I can relate to, as Catherine is both personable and professional. It has been a great pleasure to have worked with Catherine and we look forward to having the opportunity to do so again in the future.

Harpreet Bagal – Document Automation Manager

Worked with Catherine on a complex engagement which included change adoption challenges through to design and implementation of governance models to working with clients, internal and external to deliver document automation solutions. Catherine is exceptionally knowledgeable in her field and credible with all levels in an organisation. Straight forward to work with, innovative in her thinking and delivers to a high standard. Looking forward to working with Catherine in the future.

Richard Clark – (now leading berg)

I cannot recommend Catherine enough. Having worked with Catherine previously when she did some consultancy work when I was at Linklaters, I knew how impactful her support would be. Catherine spent a week in our Dubai office delivering training to colleagues on Contract Express and supporting the roll out of our document automation strategy. The week was an overwhelming success and I feel very strongly that having Catherine work with us was the catalyst we needed to get the wider firm engaged. Whilst she was with us Catherine delivered two sessions to the firm (the first was so packed we had to turn people away and put on a second session later on in the week) on document automation which enabled colleagues from around our network to understand and gain insights into the topic. Catherine left us having enabled our team to go from the very basics of document automation to having automated several key documents during the course of the week. She is an excellent trainer, presenter and a leading expert in her field and I am hoping to get her back over to support us further.
