Three expensive problems you are facing right now
78% of prospects choose the first firm that responds. Not the cheapest. Not the most qualified. The first. AI answers enquiries in under 2 minutes, 24/7—while your competitors check voicemail Monday morning.
Every AI decision is logged. Human approval gates for conflict checks and engagement terms. No "black box" outputs. Respects client confidentiality, informed consent, supervision requirements. Works within your jurisdiction regulatory framework.
Your fee-earners spend hours copying data between systems, chasing clients for documents, drafting engagement letters manually. That is billable time—lost to admin work that should cost £0. Automation gives you those hours back for client work that generates revenue.
Every firm size has unique challenges. Here is how we help.
You do the legal work. You do the sales. You do the admin. Client calls while you are in court. You call back 6 hours later. "Sorry, I have hired someone else." That is £15K (≈$19K) gone because you were doing the actual legal work.
AI handles intake 24/7. Answers enquiries while you are in court. Books consultations while you sleep. Drafts engagement letters automatically. You focus on winning cases and keeping clients—not admin work that generates £0 in fees.
Enquiry volume doubled. So did chaos. Reception is overwhelmed. Some leads get fast responses, others wait days. Quality is inconsistent. You need another paralegal just to manage intake—that is £35K (≈$44K) salary plus overhead before they generate £1 in fees.
Automated triage scores every enquiry and routes to the right team. Conflict checks run instantly against your case management system. Standard processes run consistently at scale. Your team handles complex legal work, not data entry and phone tag.
You have systems but they are clunky and labor-intensive. Partners cannot see pipeline accurately. Fee-earners lose 10+ hours per week to admin overhead. Digital-first competitors respond faster and look more modern. You risk losing talent and clients to firms that move faster.
AI integrates with your existing practice management stack (Clio, LEAP, PracticePanther). Real-time dashboards show pipeline, conversion rates, response times. Senior fee-earners reclaim 10+ hours per week for high-value client work and strategic relationships.

Complete transparency and human oversight at every step
From discovery to measurable results in phases
We shadow your intake process, map 2–3 high-value workflows, and define success metrics. You show us how you work; we show you what is possible.
We build automations, configure AI prompts to match your firm voice, integrate with your tech stack, and set up audit logs and approval workflows.
Shadow mode runs alongside your current process. Human-in-the-loop approvals ensure quality. We train your team with clear SOPs and troubleshooting guides.
Full deployment with monitoring dashboards. Track response times, conversion rates, and hours saved. We stay close for the first 30 days to ensure success.
We will assess fit, answer your questions, and explore how AI automation can work for your practice.
No. This removes low-value admin work—copying data, chasing forms, sending reminders—so your team can focus on legal work and client relationships. Human review and oversight remain at every critical step. Think of it as hiring a tireless admin assistant who never sleeps, not replacing your fee-earners.
No. We integrate with your existing PMS, CRM, telephony, and scheduling tools. No rip-and-replace. We work with Clio, LEAP, PracticePanther, MyCase, HubSpot, RingCentral, Calendly, and others. If you use something different, we will assess compatibility during discovery.
We use structured outputs, not open-ended generation. The AI fills in forms and templates based on clear rules—it does not "make things up." Every sensitive action (like conflict checks or engagement terms) includes human approval gates. Everything is logged with full audit trails. You stay in control.
We are designed for regulated legal practices worldwide. All client data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Regional data residency options available. Human oversight for all AI-assisted work. We provide data protection assessment templates and help you complete them. Clients give informed consent for automated intake. Our system adapts to your jurisdiction regulatory requirements.
Intake automation + conflict checks + consultation scheduling. Firms typically see impact once systems are live: faster response times, more booked consultations, fewer missed leads. The mechanism is straightforward—instant response captures more enquiries than delayed manual follow-up.
Yes. We recommend starting with 2–3 workflows in a 60-day pilot. Many firms begin with intake + engagement letters, see the results, then expand to collections, document triage, and other areas. You control the pace.
A full-time admin or paralegal costs tens of thousands annually plus overhead (varies by region). Our engagement covers multiple workflows, with costs that scale with usage. The economic logic is straightforward: preventing just a few lost instructions pays for the system. We will show you a detailed comparison during discovery.
