Law Firms & Legal Services
AI and automation for law firms that bill time, not admin
Automate client intake, document assembly, matter status updates, and chasing — with confidentiality and supervision designed in from the start.
Law firms lose billable hours to unbillable admin: re-keying intake details into the case management system, assembling the same letters from precedent, and answering 'what's happening with my matter?' emails. We automate the repeatable parts of the practice around your existing case management software, and we're conservative about where AI is allowed to touch client work — drafting assistance with review, never unsupervised advice.
Intake details typed three times
The same client details get entered into the enquiry form, the conflict check, the CMS, and the engagement letter — by hand, each time.
'Any update?' emails
Fee earners interrupted daily by status requests that a client portal or automatic update email would answer before it was asked.
Precedents assembled manually
Standard letters, claim forms, and engagement documents built by copy-paste from old matters, with the find-and-replace errors that follow.
What we typically build
Automation and AI that earns its place for law firms
Client intake to CMS
Structured enquiry forms that run the conflict check, create the matter, and draft the engagement letter — one entry, not four.
Document assembly
Standard documents generated from matter data with fee-earner review, instead of hand-edited precedents from a shared drive.
Automatic matter updates
Milestone-triggered client emails ('searches back', 'contracts exchanged') that cut status-chasing calls dramatically.
Time capture nudges
Automated prompts and AI-assisted summaries that help fee earners record time on the day it happens, not from memory at month-end.
How we'd engage
Most law firms start with a tech operations audit to map the workflows worth fixing, then move into implementation. These services are the usual fit:
FAQ
Common questions from law firms
- Can we use AI without risking client confidentiality?
- Yes, if it's set up deliberately. We configure AI tools so client data stays within your approved environment (or doesn't reach AI tools at all), document what goes where, and align the setup with SRA guidance on technology and supervision. Most of the value in a law firm is workflow automation, which doesn't involve AI reading client files.
- Does this replace our case management system?
- No — it makes it work harder. We connect intake, documents, email, and billing around whatever you run (Clio, LEAP, Actionstep, Proclaim, and similar), filling the gaps between systems rather than replacing them.
- Where do law firms see the fastest return?
- Client intake and matter updates. Intake automation removes re-keying and speeds up conversion of enquiries; automatic updates can remove a large share of inbound 'any news?' traffic within the first month.
