AI agents for law firms that take intake, drafting and deadlines off your lawyers' desks.

AI agents for law firms and professional-services firms handle the admin around the advice: they capture and qualify a new client enquiry, start the conflict check, draft routine documents from your templates and track every deadline — inside the practice software you already run.

Legal judgement stays with your lawyers; the paperwork stops eating billable hours.

Where it usually breaks

  • Manual client intake misses key details
  • Drafting routine contracts eats billable time
  • Missed docket deadlines risk malpractice

What are AI agents for law firms?

AI agents for law firms are software agents that run the repetitive, rules-shaped work of a legal or professional-services practice: turning an inbound enquiry into a structured intake with the conflict check started, assembling a first draft from your precedents, extracting dates from correspondence into the deadline calendar, and preparing time and billing entries for review. Every action is logged, and anything that needs legal judgement goes to a lawyer.

It's the same engineering behind our client intake agent and the rest of our AI agent work, built around your practice-management system, document store and email rather than a closed legal product.

Top use cases for AI agents in law firms and consultancies

Six workflows where an agent pays back first in a law firm or a consultancy. Each one prepares the work; a professional signs it off.

  • Client intake & qualification

    Answers a new enquiry at any hour, asks your intake questions, checks the matter against your practice areas and books the first call — the client arrives as a structured file, not an email thread.

  • Conflict checks

    Runs the new parties against your client and matter records and flags potential conflicts for a lawyer to clear before the engagement letter goes out.

  • Document drafting from your precedents

    Assembles first drafts of routine documents — engagement letters, NDAs, standard contracts, letters — from your own templates and the intake data, ready for a lawyer to review.

  • Deadline & docket tracking

    Reads dates and time limits from court notices and correspondence, puts them in the calendar with reminders, and escalates anything approaching without an owner.

  • Document review & research support

    Finds the relevant clauses across a contract bundle, or your internal precedents on a point, with citations to the source documents — a starting point for the lawyer, never the answer.

  • Time capture & billing prep

    Rebuilds time entries from the emails, calls and documents worked on, and prepares the pre-bill for the partner's review — fewer hours written off because nobody logged them.

03 / Build vs buy

Legal SaaS, custom agent, or more paralegal hours?

Legal AI products do one job inside their own interface. A custom agent runs your intake, drafting and deadline workflows across the systems you already use — and unlike more paralegal hours, it covers evenings and peaks at the same cost.

Confidentiality, privilege and GDPR

Client files carry professional secrecy and often privileged material, on top of GDPR. So the design starts with where the data lives: processing inside the EU, no client documents in consumer chatbots, model providers contracted under terms that exclude training on your data, data-processing agreements across the chain, access limited by matter, and a log of every action the agent takes.

Keep reading

The agent drafts, extracts and flags; it doesn't give legal advice to a client or send anything binding without a lawyer approving it. And under the EU AI Act (Article 4, as amended in July 2026), firms that use AI must take measures to promote their staff's AI literacy — no specific level or certificate is required.

05 / Pricing

What does an AI agent for a law firm cost?

A first agent on one workflow — client intake is the usual starting point — starts at €1,500, fixed price, delivered in about two weeks (~12 business days). Multi-step agents wired into your practice-management system and document store start at €2,500 per agent. After launch you pay the model tokens, capped per run, with no per-seat licence for your fee earners.
