AI intake for law firms

    From first enquiry to structured handover.

    Handle new enquiries, collect relevant information and documents, and give your team an organised intake to review before the consultation.

    Online or in person for suitable Australian law firms.

    How it works

    From first contact to a lawyer-ready draft brief.

    00:00

    Enquiry answered

    AI answers the new enquiry call and captures initial context.

    00:03

    Intake link sent

    A secure mobile intake link is sent to the client.

    00:07

    Details submitted

    The client completes questions and uploads documents.

    00:08

    Brief ready

    A structured brief and triage are ready in your dashboard.

    Ready

    Informed callback

    Your lawyer calls back fully briefed, not asking basic intake questions.

    Illustrative timing. It depends on the caller completing the intake, the complexity of the enquiry and any documents supplied. This is not a promise of lawyer contact within ten minutes.

    80% of prospective clients will contact another lawyer if they don’t hear back within 48 hours. Martindale-Avvo, Understanding the Legal Consumer 2023

    Example scenario
    Transcript Preview
    AI ReceptionistThank you for calling Mitchell & Associates. I'm the after-hours intake assistant. How can I help you?
    CallerI need help with a divorce. We've been separated for six months.
    AI ReceptionistI understand. I'll gather some initial details to help our family law team prepare for your consultation. Are there any children involved?
    CallerYes, two children — ages 8 and 12.
    AI ReceptionistThank you. I'll record those details and send you a secure link to complete your intake. The firm's team can then review your enquiry and callback preference.

    Stage 1 of 7 — AI Phone Intake

    The difference after hours

    Win the matter before they call the next firm.

    Callers with urgent legal issues keep ringing until someone takes them seriously. When they feel understood immediately, they stop searching.

    1. 7:15 pm

      Without

      Voicemail or a message service

      The caller leaves a name and number, or hangs up without leaving anything at all.

      With Intake Plus

      Answered straight away

      A calm intake assistant, set up for your firm, listens and takes down what happened.

    2. 7:20 pm

      Without

      Nothing feels like it's moving

      With no sign anyone is on it, they go back to Google and call the next firm.

      With Intake Plus

      Secure intake link by SMS

      They share their story, key dates and documents from their phone while it's fresh.

    3. 7:25 pm

      Without

      Still searching

      Messages are left at several firms. Whoever calls back first is likely to win the matter.

      With Intake Plus

      They stop searching

      Having already told their story and sent their documents, they feel looked after, so there's no reason to keep calling around.

    4. Next morning

      Without

      Phone tag begins

      Staff decode a rushed voicemail, then chase the caller for basic details and paperwork.

      With Intake Plus

      A brief is waiting

      Your team opens an organised summary with the client's account, dates and documents attached.

    5. First consult

      Without

      Starting from scratch

      Much of the meeting goes on collecting facts the client could have shared the night before.

      With Intake Plus

      Starting informed

      The lawyer arrives already across the facts and can focus on the client and the matter.

    Illustrative example. Your team remains responsible for reviewing information and deciding the next step. Intake Plus supports intake; it does not provide legal advice.

    See the information your team receives.

    Review calls, intake answers, uploaded documents and AI-assisted draft summaries in the enquiry file.
