Actionstep Celebrates Record UK Growth as Midsize Law Firms Embrace Cloud-First Innovation
London, UK – 3 April, 2025 – Actionstep is celebrating a record year of growth in the UK, with over 50 UK-based law firms adopting its practice management platform since January 2024 — including 30 midsize firms moving off legacy systems. Amid market consolidation, rising costs, and the limitations of aging technology, Actionstep’s modern, highly adaptable, cloud-based practice management platform is rapidly becoming the go-to solution for UK law firms. Firms such as Dutton Gregory, Butcher & Barlow, Right Legal Group, and Levi Solicitors have already chosen to move to Actionstep to modernise, scale, and future-proof their operations.
Building a UK Team with Deep Legal Tech Expertise
To support this growth, Actionstep has expanded its UK team from five to nearly 20 members — with over 200 years of combined legal technology expertise — joining over 220 Actionsteppers globally. New hires include senior leaders across partnerships, sales, and solutions engineering to support firms on their journey. “We know how much time and money many midsize firms have invested in their systems,” said Oliver Tromp, Regional Vice President, UK. “Our team understands that history and is passionate about helping firms embrace a more modern, flexible way of working.”
Rebecca Lander, Partnerships Director, UK
With 17 years of experience working alongside law firms and in legal technology, Lander takes a constructive approach to driving partnerships. “I am committed to fostering a collaborative ecosystem that enables firms to build their ideal operational framework. Every law firm is unique, and by curating a strong network of technology and service partners, we ensure firms have access to the best tools to drive their success.”
Tracey Longbottom, Senior Sales Executive
With a career spanning multiple legal technology providers, Longbottom recognises the necessary shift towards cloud-based, highly integrated solutions. “Actionstep was an obvious choice for me – a truly cloud-native platform that aligns with the market’s demand for seamless integration with other important business tools law firms use.”
Shaun Denham, Solutions Engineer
Denham brings over 35 years of legal technology experience, seeing first-hand the evolution of legal services and the software that supports law firms. “The UK market has been stagnant for too long. Actionstep is changing that by delivering a modern, SaaS-based platform that meets the real needs of law firms. My focus is clear: delight our customers, deliver solutions that add genuine value, and contribute to a company culture that prioritises innovation.”
Strengthening Actionstep’s UK Partner Ecosystem
As more UK firms adopt Actionstep, it continues to expand its network of trusted partners who specialise in legal workflows, IT support, and digital transformation. By collaborating with these partners, firms can tailor their technology stack to suit their unique needs and day-to-day processes. In the past year alone, several new strategic partners have joined the Actionstep ecosystem, including Nexian Legal, Quiss Technology, Thirdfort, FuturByte, Expedite Law, and Progressive Legal Solutions.
Deepening Engagement with the UK Legal Sector
Actionstep has further demonstrated its commitment to the UK by launching its inaugural UK Midsize Law Firm Priorities Report in partnership with LPM. This report offers valuable insights into the priorities, challenges, and opportunities facing midsize law firms in the UK. Over the past year, Actionstep has also participated in more than 30 industry events and formed partnerships with several regional law societies, including Surrey, Manchester, Warwickshire, Devon & Somerset, and Hampshire.
Actionstep: Built for What’s Next
Actionstep’s remarkable growth in the UK confirms the value of its local investment and deep connection to the UK legal sector. By expanding its in-country team, strengthening its partner ecosystem, and continuing to evolve its platform, Actionstep has positioned itself as the go-to solution for forward-thinking firms: a flexible, efficient, and scalable practice management platform that aligns with law firm ambitions. As the legal landscape continues to evolve, Actionstep remains committed to helping firms thrive and build their firm advantage.
