Legal workflow automation from first call to final invoice.

Legal workflow automation is software that moves information and tasks between a law firm's systems and people, so staff are not retyping or chasing them. Examples are intake that becomes a matter, conflict checks routed to the right attorney, deadlines turned into assigned tasks, documents assembled from templates and invoices sent on schedule. AI workflow automation for attorneys adds AI where a step needs reading, such as pulling party names from an intake email. Decisions stay with attorneys.

The best candidates are repetitive and rule-based: client intake and matter opening, conflict-check routing, deadline and task assignment, document assembly from templates, billing reminders and invoice follow-up, and client status updates. Law firm business process automation can also mean redesigning a whole process, such as intake through engagement, before automating it. We start with whichever one takes the most staff time at your firm.

Often, yes, depending on the system and your plan. Clio publishes an API. MyCase, PracticePanther, NetDocuments and iManage each control API access in their own way, through plan tiers or partner programs. During scoping we check API access, plan limits and any partner requirements, and tell you before quoting if a connection is limited. Where there is no usable API, a scheduled export or import can sometimes fill the gap.

It depends on how many workflows are in scope, whether your practice management system has a usable API, and your monthly matter volume. The AI audit is free and ends with a scoped estimate. Builds are fixed-price against that scope, and ongoing support is a flat monthly fee covering hosting, monitoring, model and API costs, fixes and improvement. We do not bill hourly. Our pricing page explains what moves the number.

Yes. Intake details can be captured once and carried into the conflict check, the new matter and the engagement letter. Documents such as engagement letters, standard notices and routine pleadings can be assembled from your templates using matter data. Billing reminders, pre-bill routing and invoice follow-up can run on a schedule. An attorney approves each engagement and reviews generated documents before they go out.

Return comes from staff hours no longer spent retyping and chasing, invoices that go out on time, and fewer tasks that depend on one person's memory. How much depends on matter volume and how manual the current process is. The free audit measures your current process first, so any estimate uses your numbers rather than an industry average.

Most builds go live in two to three weeks from a defined scope. Firms whose practice management plan restricts API access, or that need deadline rules written down for the first time, can take longer, which is why we scope before we quote. We usually start with one workflow, such as intake to matter opening, prove it, and then add the next.

That is not what we build it for. Automation takes over the retyping, calendaring and chasing. Legal assistants, paralegals and billing staff keep the work that needs judgement: checking what the system prepared, handling exceptions and talking to clients. Every workflow we build keeps a person approving conflicts, engagements and anything sent to a client.

It can be built to protect confidential and privileged information, and the confidentiality obligations stay with the firm. We work in the firm's own cloud environment where possible, limit each workflow to the matters and data it needs, encrypt data in transit and at rest, log every action and never train models on client data. Your firm, with its ethics counsel where needed, decides whether a use fits its obligations, and we document how the system handles data so they can.
