Legal firms

Every enquiry looks urgent.
Few of them are instructions.

A firm cannot take an instruction from an enquiry it has not qualified or conflict-checked, and a partner is the most expensive person available to find that out.

Who this is for

Where the capacity actually goes.

Law firms and legal practices where intake arrives by phone, web form and referral, and a fee earner is currently the first responder.

The partner answers the intake call.

The enquiry that turns out to have no matter, no budget and no jurisdiction still took twenty minutes of the most expensive hour in the building.

Conflict checks start too late.

The names needed to run a check sit in an inbox until someone opens it, so the clock on a time-sensitive matter starts late.

The prospect instructs whoever replied.

Someone contacting three firms about the same matter usually instructs the one that came back the same day.

The journey, step by step

One request.
Four moves.

One legal firms journey, end to end. Your configuration decides the sequence, the rules and the point a person takes over.

Capture the enquiry

The enquiry is answered on the channel it arrived on and the parties, the matter type and the timeline are captured using your own intake questions.

Gather what a check needs

The names and entities your conflict process requires are collected up front, so the check can be run by your team without a second round of emails.

Coordinate the consultation

Where the enquiry matches your criteria, an available slot with the right fee earner is offered and written to the diary.

Keep the file moving

Outstanding documents and identity requirements are chased on a schedule, and the chase stops the moment they arrive or your team takes ownership.

Where your people take over

Legal advice, scope, fees, conflict decisions and anything privileged go to your qualified people. The workforce captures the enquiry and never answers it.

The human boundary

Common questions

Questions legal firms ask.

Will it give legal advice?

No, and it is configured so it cannot. It captures the enquiry against the questions your firm has approved and hands it to a qualified person. Any question touching advice, merits or fees transfers with the full conversation attached.

Can it run our conflict check?

It collects the information your check needs and presents it to your team. The check itself, and the decision that follows it, stays with the people responsible for it.
