Clifford Chance faced increasing workloads with limited capacity and slow development cycles

Clifford Chance faced increasing workloads with limited capacity and slow development cycles

As one of the world’s leading law firms, Clifford Chance experienced growing workloads while available capacity decreased. This created pressure on internal operations and highlighted the need for more efficient ways of working. At the same time, developing digital solutions to support the business required significant time and effort. Traditional development processes made it difficult to respond quickly to internal demands and changing client needs, limiting agility and slowing innovation.

Clifford Chance built a low-code development engine to turn ideas into solutions faster

Clifford Chance improved efficiency and

created a scalable innovation pipeline

To overcome these challenges, Clifford Chance introduced a low-code strategy supported by Betty Blocks. This enabled the Legal Technology & Innovation team to rapidly design, build, and deploy applications tailored to real business needs.


By combining low-code builders with pro-code developers, the firm created a collaborative development model where business users and IT work closely together. Ideas are validated, prototyped within days, and developed through short, iterative cycles with continuous feedback.


Key elements of the approach:

By adopting low-code development, Clifford Chance significantly increased efficiency and accelerated delivery of digital solutions across the organization. A clear example is the Business Day Calculator, which reduced a manual, error-prone process from several hours even a full day, to just minutes. Beyond individual solutions, Clifford Chance established a scalable system for continuous innovation, enabling them to consistently identify, validate, and deliver high-impact use cases.
