Skilldiligence · AI Training for In-House Legal Teams
Two practical AI training programmes for in-house lawyers — one for the whole team, one for those who want to go further. No hype. No theory. Just AI working on your real legal work before you leave the room.
Three problems. Almost every in-house team has them. This training solves all three.
Your firm invested in Copilot (or ChatGPT, or another AI tool). Your team opens it sometimes, mostly for drafting. The gap between what AI could be doing in your team and what it actually does grows wider every month.
First-pass NDA review. Routine supplier agreements. Compliance checklists. These tasks land on qualified lawyers because there's no system to handle them otherwise. The strategic work — the work only you can do — queues up behind them.
Demand for legal advice keeps increasing. Headcount doesn't. AI should be closing that gap — but without the right training and the right method, most in-house teams are running harder just to stay in the same place.
Both programmes are practical, legal-specific, and backed by the same full money-back guarantee. Track 1 is for everyone. Track 2 is for those who want to go to the cutting edge.
Get more out of the AI your organisation already pays for — in two hours, for the whole team, in every office.
Built around Microsoft Copilot (or whichever AI tool your team already uses). No new software to install. No new subscriptions. Every member of your in-house legal team attends one two-hour session and leaves with AI working on their actual legal work before the session ends.
Build 36 AI agents tailored to your legal work. An operating system. The cutting edge of what AI can do for in-house lawyers — and the knowledge to keep building from here.
Five live sessions where you build real agents on your actual legal documents. The agents are built in Claude Cowork ($20/month) but the methodology and all agent files are yours permanently — they work on any large language model.
The ROI guarantee exists because the numbers make it easy to meet. Here is what the training typically returns for an in-house team.
That is a deliberately conservative benchmark. A typical in-house lawyer who leaves the Workflow Builder Workshop and applies what they learned consistently saves two to four hours per week on research synthesis, first-pass drafting, policy comparison, and compliance checking. Across a team of five, that's ten to twenty hours per week of senior legal time returned to strategic work.
Julienne, a Legal and Compliance Manager at Ewopharma, built seven agents in five sessions. Her Quarterly Report Agent alone saved five to six hours per week — every week, permanently, from Day 1. At a conservative rate of £100/hr for in-house legal time, a single agent that saves one hour per week returns the £1,000 seat cost in ten weeks. The agents she built now run continuously, on her actual documents, without her needing to be involved.
Every quote below comes from a lawyer, compliance professional, or contract manager who attended a training session with Richard. Named, real, and specific.
In just a few sessions, participants go from being basic users to maximising the benefits they can derive from AI. AI will play a huge role in the future of legal practice — and any lawyer, young or old, should take Richard's course if they would like to stay ahead.
This was accessible to me and enabled me to make real change to my daily work and what might be possible in my working life on limited resources and a shoestring budget.
He guided us through how to apply AI thoughtfully, creatively, and effectively to real-world challenges affecting our roles. His ability to highlight practical problem-solving approaches was refreshing.
Perfectly delivered with real life examples, practical tips, interactive tasks, humour, and a wealth of experience and knowledge. Couldn't have asked more of a few hours' session.
Well-structured, engaging, and immediately useful. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking to build confidence and better understand how to use AI in their day-to-day legal work.
The session was really thought provoking and provided incredibly useful tools and information which I'm looking forward to implementing as part of my role.
As a practicing lawyer, he brought relevant subject-matter knowledge and delivered the workshop in a clear, practical way. Reliable, well-prepared, and great at keeping participants engaged.
The session offered practical insights into how to prepare effective prompts and how to integrate AI tools within day-to-day professional work. I would recommend Richard for his expertise, clear delivery, and positive energy.
This is not a standard satisfaction guarantee. It's a commercial guarantee. If your team can't demonstrate that the training has returned at least its cost in measurable value within three months, Richard refunds every pound. No questions, no negotiation.
That's possible because the maths is straightforward: in-house lawyers charge at senior rates, they have repeating tasks that AI can handle, and the training takes two hours. The only risk is on us, not on you.
Measured at the 4-week follow-up session. Richard reviews what's changed, what time has been saved, and makes the call. If the number isn't there, every pound comes back.
Two guarantees, stacked. Working agents demonstrated on camera by Day 4, or instant refund. Then the 8-week follow-up confirms ROI — if the seat hasn't paid for itself, £1,000 comes back.
Answered plainly.
No. Track 1 (the Workflow Builder Workshop) is built entirely around Microsoft Copilot or whichever AI tool your team already uses. Zero new software, zero new subscriptions. Track 2 (the Agent Builder Workshop) requires Claude Cowork at $20/month per participant — that's the only additional cost, and participants can cancel immediately after the programme ends.
Specifically designed for in-house legal teams. Every example, every exercise, every agent built in the sessions runs on the kind of work in-house lawyers actually do: contract review, NDA first-pass, compliance drafting, policy research, board reporting. Richard is a qualified lawyer — not a tech trainer who has adapted a generic course.
That's the ideal starting point, not a problem. The Workflow Builder Workshop is specifically designed for lawyers who have tried AI occasionally but never consistently. No prior experience required. The session builds the mental model and applies it live in the room — participants leave having done something, not just heard about it.
Five sessions, each approximately an hour, scheduled at times that work for your team. Tasks are set between sessions so the build progresses between calls. There are no intensive "away days" or blocked weeks. The methodology is designed around how real in-house lawyers work — incrementally, in the time they actually have.
The agents are built in Claude Cowork, but the methodology and all agent files are yours permanently. They can be adapted to run on any large language model — GPT-4o, Gemini, or whatever your organisation standardises on. The methodology is the asset. The platform is interchangeable.
Yes. Both tracks are fully independent. Track 1 builds useful habits for the whole team; Track 2 takes individuals into building agents. They work well together, but neither requires the other. Some teams book Track 2 for the practitioners who want to build and Track 1 separately for the wider team.
No headcount limit. The £2,000 flat fee covers your entire in-house legal team — every office, every geography. Whether that's five people or fifty, the price is the same. This is one of the few things about this offer that gets better the bigger your team is.
Book a 15-minute call at tidycal.com/richardnicholas or email richard@skilldiligence.com — he'll come back within 24 hours to agree a date. There are no fixed cohort schedules — both programmes are booked when ready and run to suit the team's calendar. The only constraint is availability, and that's first-come, first-served.
Practical AI insights written specifically for in-house legal teams. What's working, what isn't, and how to stay ahead — without the hype.
