A law, accounting or consulting practice has a paradox: its most expensive people do its most repetitive work — the intake call, the engagement letter, the request for documents, the reminder about the deadline. Every one of those is a process with a known shape. Automating them recovers billable hours and gives clients the responsiveness they came for.

Intake

Enquiries from every channel captured with the matter type, urgency and source; conflict checks triggered automatically; an initial consultation booked from a real calendar; the intake questionnaire sent and its answers landed in the matter record before the first meeting.

Engagement

The engagement letter generated from the matter details and the firm's terms, sent for e-signature, followed up, and — on signature — the matter opened, the team assigned and the client welcomed with what happens next and who to contact.

Documents and deadlines

Document requests sent with a secure upload link, chased on a schedule, tracked to completion. Statutory and internal deadlines calculated from the matter type and set as reminders to the client and the team well ahead. Nobody's compliance depends on a diary.

Delivery and billing

Time captured from calendars and matter activity; invoices generated at milestones or month end with narratives drafted for review; reminders and collections automated; disputes routed to the partner.

Relationship

Matter closure triggers a feedback request, a review ask where appropriate, and a note in the CRM for the next natural touch — the annual filing, the renewal, the related service. Referrals asked for at the right moment. The firm's growth stops depending on the partners' memory.
