Barhead Solutions & its Consensus for Purpose (CFP) solution were named finalists in the recent ALITA (Asia-Pacific Legal Innovation & Technology Association) & ALPMA (ALPMA: Australasian Legal Practice Management Association) Business Law Awards.

CFP was nominated in the Legal Innovation/ Legal Tech for Good category at the ALITA Awards and Barhead for the Excellence in External Impact Initiatives category in the ALPMA Business of Law Awards, alongside Consensus Engagement Manager Amanda Fajerman who was nominated for an ALPMA Individual Achievement Award.

The nomination marks the 4th recognition for Barhead’s CFP, a legal practice management solution that won Barhead the 2024 Microsoft ANZ Partner of the Year Award for Social Impact.

CFP was built in collaboration with a consortium of community legal centres (comprised of Marrickville Legal Centre, Environmental Defenders Office and Women’s Legal Service Queensland).

‘By automating basic administrative tasks and streamlining work processes, the Consensus for Purpose solution unlocks much needed people resources who can now direct their expertise towards addressing those that need legal support. We estimate there will be an immediate benefit to the thousands of people we help every year and limit the number of people we have to turn away due to resource constraints — so it’s a real gamechanger.’

‘If CFP is adopted by 80% of community legal centres,’ said Barhead Co-founder John Orrock,’ the entire sector can save approximately $25 million over 5 years.’ More importantly, Orrock added, CFP provides CLCs with a secure and scalable platform that bolsters their AI readiness.

‘As part of our ongoing community involvement, Barhead is helping not-for-profits and CLCs with their AI readiness, and the CFP does exactly that, with a platform that leverages Copilot and can be easily implemented by community legal centres across Australia. Leveraging Microsoft’s technology platform, including AI and Copilot, CLCs can provide more services faster and with more confidence using a solution that’s designed to be built once and deployed to many.’
