Job summary

Bolton Law Firm, PC in Spring, TX is seeking a Director of Technology to serve as the firm’s main technology authority, reporting to the Founding Attorney. You will shape AI strategy, enhance client touchpoints, and protect confidentiality while guiding a fast-growing legal practice on its technology roadmap.

You will manage a modern stack (Clio, CoCounsel, Second Nature, Nextiva, FormBuilder) and collaborate with attorneys to deliver measurable value.

Qualifications

• Have 5+ years in technology management or IT leadership, ideally with legal or professional services experience.
• Hands-on experience with practice management software (Clio, MyCase, or comparable).
• Understand AI tools well enough to separate real operational value from hype — and build policies that govern responsible use.
• Take confidentiality and attorney-client privilege seriously — not as compliance checkboxes, but as professional obligations.
• Can translate complex technical concepts for attorneys and non-technical staff without condescension or jargon.

Responsibilities

• Lead the firm’s AI strategy — identify, evaluate, and implement AI tools that reduce the operational cost of delivering legal services without compromising quality or confidentiality.
• Improve the client experience — own every client-facing technology touchpoint: intake, portals, e-signature, communications, and transparency tools.
• Improve the team member experience — reduce friction, eliminate repetitive manual work, and equip attorneys and staff with tools that let them focus on high-value work.
• Protect client confidentiality — develop and maintain firm‑wide cybersecurity and data privacy protocols that meet bar ethics requirements and earn client trust.
• Keep the practice of law with our lawyers — AI in this firm augments legal professionals; it does not replace their judgment. You will define and enforce the guardrails that make that distinction clear.
• Manage the full technology stack — including Clio, CoCounsel, Second Nature, Nextiva, and FormBuilder — ensuring every platform delivers measurable value.
• Drive growth through technology — advise on marketing technology, CRM, lead management, and digital presence to support the firm’s aggressive expansion goals.
