Legal Industry CFO

“The most valuable part of their services was the deep technical knowledge they could apply to the process. And, for an organisation like ours, also having James from a professional services background — we relied heavily on that.”

- Greg S.

I work for one of the largest legal firms in the country. The firm provide a full range of legal services, including commercial litigation, property, resource management, tax, and employment advice. 

Unisphere came in to review our team’s IT function after the Chief Digital Officer left. We didn't know if we needed to recruit someone who's very blue-sky thinking, very technical, or somebody in between. We weren’t sure what level we needed, what capabilities.

Andy and James did a very thorough job working their way through the various processes, figuring out the best structure for our IT team and what the leadership role should like. They were very responsive; it was good working with them. They delivered things when they said they were going to do it and at the price as well. If we wanted to do something else along the way, they would give us some advice on that too. 

The most valuable part of their services was the deep technical knowledge they could apply to the process, with Andy on the security side and James on the virtual CIO type side. It's great to have that depth of knowledge and a real understanding of what the structure of IT teams should be. And, for an organisation like ours, also having James from a professional services background — we relied heavily on that.

Later, Unisphere helped us recruit another position in the IT team. We ran the recruitment process, and Unisphere helped with interviewing.

I would recommend Unisphere's services to other organisations.
