INDUSTRIES / LAW FIRMS & LEGAL SERVICES
A better first response. Clear boundaries from the start.
A prospective client should reach a clear next step without being invited to share more than your firm is ready to receive. We help define AI receptionist workflows for initial enquiries, consultation requests and careful handoff.

The problem today
- A missed intake call is a client who retained elsewhere
- Captures the full intake on the first call
- Conflict checks wait for someone with time
- Screens for conflicts before the matter is opened
- Years of case files are searchable only by memory
- Answers questions from the archive, with the source cited
Capture contact, then follow the firm’s intake rules.
Begin with the information the firm permits before a conflict review: names and contact details, with matter categories only where approved. A request should not become a detailed account of a dispute before the firm has decided how to handle it.
Make the limits audible.
The greeting should identify the AI assistant. It must not give legal advice, calculate a legal deadline or imply the firm has accepted a retainer. A consultation request is a request for review, not the creation of a lawyer-client relationship.
Example workflow
- 1
Disclose the AI assistant.
- 2
Collect permitted initial details.
- 3
Pause for firm conflict process.
- 4
Arrange the approved next contact.
Example request record: Initial enquiry · names collected · firm review required · no retainer created.
Keep conflicts and confidential records under control.
A workflow can prepare information for the firm's conflict process. It must not announce that a conflict has been cleared without an authorized, tested process and staff decision. Internal document search is a separate workflow with its own access boundaries.
Questions from law firms & legal services
No. It provides approved administrative information and routes enquiries to the firm.
No automatic clearance is promised. The firm controls its conflict process and the decision to accept a matter.
We agree and test the languages needed for the intake workflow. The firm decides what can be discussed before review and how to hand off to staff.
Start with the calls and files you already understand.
Bring an anonymized example, the tools involved and the point where someone on your team must approve the next step. We will discuss a small first scope and how to check whether it helps. Keep real customer, patient and confidential records out of public demos.
