How It Applies

Agentic workflows automate the administrative layer of legal practice — document intake, conflict checking, client onboarding, and matter management — so fee earners spend their time on billable work.

Challenges We Solve

Client onboarding takes days, not hours

ID verification, conflict checking, retainer signing, and matter opening involve multiple manual steps across disconnected systems. Agentic workflows automate the entire onboarding sequence, reducing time-to-matter from days to hours.

Billing and time recording is incomplete

Fee earners who don't record time contemporaneously lose billable hours permanently. Agentic workflows prompt time recording in context — when documents are drafted, calls completed, or emails sent — without disrupting the work itself.

Document management requires manual indexing

Unstructured document storage makes matter management inefficient and creates compliance risk. Agentic workflows automatically index, classify, and link documents to the correct matter — maintaining a clean digital file without manual intervention.

Regulatory compliance monitoring is reactive

AML checks, GDPR obligations, and Solicitors Regulation Authority requirements create ongoing compliance burdens. Agentic workflows monitor for compliance triggers, flag overdue actions, and maintain audit trails automatically.

How It Works

Step 1

Process mapping and automation audit

We document your current workflows, identify repetitive tasks consuming team time, and prioritise automation opportunities by time saved, error reduction, and business impact.

Step 2

Workflow design and approval

Automation logic is designed and mapped in detail — including exception handling, escalation paths, and manual override points — before any build begins. You approve the design.

Step 3

Build, test, and controlled rollout

Workflows are built and tested against real data in a staging environment before being rolled out to a limited portion of live operations. Edge cases are addressed before full deployment.

Step 4

Monitoring and continuous improvement

All workflows are monitored for errors, exception rates, and processing time. Regular reviews identify where automation scope can expand or where human steps can be further reduced.

FAQ

Client onboarding automation (replacing manual ID checks, retainer generation, and matter opening) and time recording prompts typically deliver the fastest ROI. Both are implementable within 4–6 weeks and have measurable impact on billable hours recovered and administrative cost.

Every workflow includes defined exception paths. When a workflow encounters input it can't process — unusual matter type, system error, unrecognised document — it escalates to a named human with full context. The workflow logs all exceptions for review and improvement.

Yes. We integrate with Clio, LEAP, SOS Legal, Osprey, and most UK practice management systems via API or secure data connections. Your existing software remains the system of record — workflows enhance it without replacing it.

Automation design accounts for SRA and ICO obligations from the start — data minimisation, purpose limitation, right to erasure, audit trails, and human review checkpoints for high-risk decisions. Compliance is a design constraint, not an afterthought.
