People also ask

• How much does AI cost for a 4–30 attorney boutique in Coral Gables or Brickell?

  Miami + Coral Gables + Aventura + Brickell + Tampa boutiques (4–30 attorneys) typically deploy AI at $1,500–$6,000/month — trilingual EN/ES/PT Voice Agent for intake, Knowledge Bot for FAQ + conflict checks, AI Search citation for bilingual buyer-intent queries, Workflow Ops for matter-management. Foundation rebuilds from $2,400. Greenberg Traurig ($2.62B 2024 gross), Holland & Knight ($2.04B), Akerman anchor the FL Am Law 100 tier; Berkowitz Pollack Brant, Kaufman Rossin lead Miami CPA.

• What does FL Bar Rule 4-7 attorney advertising require of AI-generated marketing?

  FL Bar Rule 4-7 (Information About Legal Services) governs attorney advertising — required disclosures, prohibition on misleading communications, fee statement rules, and the FL Bar pre-filing review for some categories. AI-generated marketing copy, Voice Agent greetings, and Knowledge Bot client-facing responses must clear Rule 4-7 review. Areza configures the disclosure scaffolding at engagement start; FL Bar Rule 4-8.4 (professional conduct) and 4-7.18 (solicitation) require specific disclosures at first contact.

• Why is Miami the US gateway for LATAM corporate legal work?

  Florida is the US gateway for LATAM corporate work. Greenberg Traurig has 47+ offices including Mexico City, São Paulo, Tel Aviv; Holland & Knight runs Bogotá, Mexico City, Monterrey offices. All three FL-rooted Am Law 100 firms (Greenberg Traurig, Holland & Knight, Akerman) reported revenue gains in 2024 and record performance in 2025 per Law.com. Bilingual ES practice carries a 15–25% premium per Florida Bar surveys; Big-4 LATAM tax + FBAR + FATCA + GILTI work concentrates in Miami.

• Can the Voice Agent qualify Brazilian Portuguese intake for immigration practices?

  Yes. Brazilian Portuguese is a default alongside Cuban-American Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Puerto Rican Spanish (Orlando register), and US English for FL immigration + real estate + LATAM-corporate boutiques. Heavy Brazilian-buyer concentration in Brickell + Sunny Isles + Aventura + Orlando makes trilingual EN/ES/PT operational reality. Florida Bar Rule 4-8.4 (professional conduct) + 4-7.18 (solicitation) disclosures route through the Voice Agent at first contact, configurable per firm at engagement start.

• How does Areza configure CCPA + GLBA + IRS Circular 230 for a Miami CPA firm?

  Florida has no state-equivalent of CCPA, but FL CPA firms serving California or NY clients still configure CCPA + CPRA + NY DFS Part 500 disclosure copy. GLBA Safeguards Rule plus IRS Circular 230 (Practice Before the IRS) plus AICPA Statement on Standards for Tax Services govern the federal floor. AI-generated tax memos require human review and written-advice standards under §10.37. AICPA WISP (Written Information Security Program) is required for any IRS-licensed preparer; SOC 2 Type II + IRS WISP scope handled separately.

Frequently asked

• Is Areza FL Bar 4-7.13 advertising compliant? Will the Voice Agent surface required disclaimers?

  Yes. FL Bar Rule 4-7 (advertising) and 4-7.13 (potentially misleading advertising) are baked into engagement scope. AI-generated marketing copy, Voice Agent scripts, and Knowledge Bot responses are configured at engagement start to surface required disclosures (firm name + managing partner + license numbers where applicable) and to avoid prohibited content (case-result claims without disclaimers, attorney comparisons, testimonials with restrictions). FL Bar Advertising Committee review is available for major campaigns. The firm signs off on every marketing surface before launch — we ship compliance-aware drafts, not unreviewed publishing. The Voice Agent opens with a `this conversation is for intake purposes only and does not establish an attorney-client relationship` disclaimer.

• How does the Knowledge Bot avoid giving legal advice?

  Strict boundaries configured at engagement start with the firm's managing partner. The Knowledge Bot answers logistical FAQ (firm hours, practice areas, attorney bios, intake process, fee structure if published, what to bring to a consultation) and general jurisdiction-specific information sourced from the firm's published articles (FL Statutes references, USCIS published policy, IRS published policy, FL Bar opinions). It surfaces a clear `this is general information, not legal advice — please schedule a consultation` boundary at any specific-fact-pattern question. Audit logs retained for professional responsibility review. We work with the firm's managing partner to define the boundary precisely for each practice area.

• Can Areza integrate with Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, LawMatics, NetDocuments, iManage?

  Yes. Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, LawMatics, NetDocuments, iManage, Litera, Spellbook all have integration paths. Voice Agent + Knowledge Bot + AI Search content pipelines feed qualified leads, transcripts, identified language preferences, and qualification metadata into whichever matter-management + DMS the firm runs. Conflict-check automation triggers before scheduling consultation. Privilege boundary configured: intake-stage conversations (not yet privileged) are handled with appropriate disclaimers; ongoing matter communications stay on the firm's existing privileged channels.

• How does Areza ship Cuban-coded Spanish + Brazilian Portuguese + Argentine Spanish for FL boutiques?

  By practice-area + sub-region. Miami-Dade default is Cuban-coded Spanish — Voice Agent phonology with aspiration of /s/ at syllable end, `usted` register on first contact with older Cuban-American buyers, faster shift to `tú` with younger clients. Brazilian Portuguese is a separate native surface for immigration + real-estate + LATAM-corporate boutiques targeting Brazilian buyers. Argentine Spanish (with `vos` register where appropriate) is a separate variant for boutiques targeting Argentine PE buyer pipelines. Orlando ships Puerto Rican Spanish overlay; Tampa, Naples, Fort Myers ship Mexican Spanish overlay. We do not ship Spain-coded Castilian Spanish — Florida Hispanic clients hear it as foreign.

• How fast can Foundation + AI Search + Voice Agent + Knowledge Bot go live for a Florida boutique?

  Foundation: 2-4 weeks for the trilingual site rebuild with matter-management integration, hreflang, schema, FL Bar 4-7 compliance review. Voice Agent: 14 days from kickoff for the bilingual or trilingual baseline. AI Search: first cluster-query content live in week 3, full keyword set live by week 8, citation share measurable from week 10. Knowledge Bot: 4-6 weeks depending on firm's published-content depth and practice-area boundary configuration. Workflow Ops: 4-8 weeks. A typical FL boutique engagement is 8-10 weeks for the full Foundation + Voice Agent + AI Search + Knowledge Bot bundle.

• What's a realistic engagement budget for a Florida boutique law firm or CPA firm?

  Foundation starts at $2,400 for a 2-4 week trilingual conversion-first build. AI Search retainer starts at $290/month. A typical FL boutique engagement combines Foundation + AI Search + Knowledge Bot, landing $5,500-8,200 setup plus $850-1,400/month for the first six months. Voice Agent + bilingual review solicitation adds $1,200-2,400/month depending on call volume. CPA firms with significant tax-season inbound surge typically run $7,500-12,500 setup plus $1,400-2,800/month. Multi-office boutiques (Brickell + Orlando, or Coral Gables + Tampa) run $9,000-16,000 setup plus $2,200-4,400/month. Pricing is published.

• How does Areza differ from Harvey AI, Lexis+ AI, Westlaw Precision AI, or CoCounsel?

  Harvey AI, Lexis+ AI, Westlaw Precision AI, and Thomson Reuters CoCounsel handle attorney-facing legal research and document drafting. Excellent for Greenberg Traurig, Holland & Knight, Akerman scale and increasingly for mid-market 8-30 attorney boutiques. Areza is purpose-built for the client-facing layer that sits in front of and complements those platforms: trilingual Voice Agent for intake, bilingual Knowledge Bot for FAQ, AI Search citation for marketing, Workflow Ops for billing + conflict-check + review solicitation. The two layers are complementary, not competing. The honest split: hire Harvey AI for the corporate research workflow inside the firm, hire Lexis+ AI / Westlaw Precision AI for general research, and bring Areza in for the client-facing AI layer where the bilingual + trilingual operations and FL Bar 4-7 compliance work compound.

• Does the Voice Agent handle FL Bar Rule 4-8 (firm names + letterhead) requirements at intake?

  Yes. FL Bar Rule 4-8.4 (professional conduct) and 4-7.18 (direct in-person solicitation) require specific disclosures at first contact. The Voice Agent opens with the firm name and a `this conversation is for intake purposes only and does not establish an attorney-client relationship` disclaimer. Required FL Bar disclosures appear in the call transcript provided to the firm and in any follow-up email sent to the prospect. For firms with foreign-credentialed attorneys (LLM-only attorneys without FL Bar admission who are limited to specific practice areas), the Voice Agent surfaces the appropriate limitation language. Configurable per firm at engagement start.
