AI agents for law firms

The hours you can't bill are eating the ones you can.

Intake retyped into the practice management system. Conflict checks run on memory and a spreadsheet. Prebills scrubbed line by line. We install AI agents that handle the nonbillable grind inside the systems your firm already uses, with a lawyer approving every output.

The manual reality

A day in a mid-size firm, measured in retyping

A new client fills out your web form. Someone reads it, copies the same facts into Clio, drafts the same engagement letter from the same template, and emails the same follow-up questions. That's an hour of staff time, and the matter hasn't started yet.

Month end is worse. Prebills print, and partners sit with a red pen turning "attn to file, 1.5" into narratives that survive the client's outside counsel guidelines. Meanwhile the inbox holds three court notices with deadlines nobody has calendared and four clients asking for updates nobody has sent.

None of this is legal work. All of it is done by people you pay to do legal work.

  • Intake facts typed twice: once by the client, once by your staff
  • Conflict checks that depend on who remembers the 2019 matter
  • Discovery productions opened cold, one folder at a time
  • Prebill week, every month, forever

What agents do here

Six places a law firm leaks hours

Every agent below drafts and prepares. A lawyer or staff member approves before anything leaves the firm.

Intake

New-matter intake, qualified and entered

A lead arrives from your web form, a referral email, or an after-hours voicemail. The agent extracts the facts, checks practice-area fit, drafts the intake summary, and creates the contact and matter shell in Clio or MyCase. Your intake coordinator reviews and confirms instead of retyping.

Conflicts

Conflict checks with a paper trail

Feed it the parties on a new matter. The agent searches your practice management system, closed-matter lists, and the spreadsheet of former clients everyone forgets, then returns potential hits with matter context attached. An attorney still makes the call. The agent just makes sure nothing gets missed for lack of searching.

Document review

First-pass review prep

When a discovery production or a stack of medical records lands, the agent sorts documents by type, builds a chronology, and flags items that match your issue list before an associate opens a single file. Review starts organized instead of starting from folder one.

Client updates

Status updates clients actually receive

The agent watches docket events and matter activity, then drafts a plain-English update for each active client on your cadence. The responsible attorney approves or edits before it sends. Fewer "any news on my case?" calls, and no client learns their hearing date from the court's website.

Billing

Billing narratives that survive the guidelines

Terse time entries become specific, compliant narratives before prebills print. The agent flags block billing, vague descriptions, and violations of each client's outside counsel guidelines, so the prebill scrub stops eating partner evenings and write-downs get caught at the source.

Docketing

Deadlines pulled from the mail

Court notices and ECF emails arrive all day. The agent reads them, extracts dates and deadline triggers, and drafts calendar entries with the computation shown. Your docketing clerk confirms each one instead of transcribing them, and nothing dies in an inbox over a long weekend.

How it works

From audit to agents on the payroll

  1. 01

    Audit the nonbillable week

    We sit with your intake coordinator, a paralegal, and your billing clerk and map where the hours actually go: how a lead becomes a matter, how a conflict check runs, what prebill week looks like. You get a written plan ranking the two or three workflows worth automating first. The audit is free.

  2. 02

    Install inside your stack

    We build the agents in the systems you already run, under your accounts and your permission structure. Every agent ships with an approval step: a person reviews the draft before it reaches a client, a court calendar, or an invoice.

  3. 03

    Run, tune, report

    We operate the agents month to month. When your matter fields change or a client sends new billing guidelines, we adjust. Each month you see what got handled and where the review time went.

Straight answers

Client files are privileged. What actually happens to our data?+

Here's the honest version. When an agent drafts or summarizes, the relevant text is processed by a model provider. We configure that on business or API terms where your data is not used to train models, and we scope each agent to only the matters and folders it needs, running under your firm's own accounts and permissions. Nothing is copied into a system we control. During the audit we map the exact data flow on paper so your managing partner can approve it before anything is built. If a workflow can't be done within your confidentiality obligations, we say so and skip it.

Will an AI agent give legal advice or file anything on its own?+

No. Every agent we install for law firms drafts, sorts, flags, and prepares. A person approves before anything leaves the firm: engagement letters, client updates, billing narratives, calendar entries. The approval gate isn't a disclaimer, it's built into the workflow. Work product stays attorney work product.

We run on Clio and Outlook. Do we have to change systems?+

No. Agents work inside the stack you already have: Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, NetDocuments, iManage, Outlook, Teams. We build around your systems rather than migrating you to new ones. If your setup genuinely can't support a workflow, we flag it in the audit instead of selling you a rebuild.

What does this cost?+

Engagements start at $5,000 per month. That covers building the agents and running them: monitoring, fixes, and tuning as your matters and clients change. Whether the math works depends on what your team currently spends on intake, conflicts, and billing cleanup, which is exactly what the free audit measures. If the numbers don't justify it, we tell you, and our free resources are yours either way.
