FAQs for law firms
Does it give legal advice?
No. It does not give legal advice, comment on the merits of a matter, predict an outcome, say whether the firm will act, or clear a conflict. It takes details, answers from information your firm has approved, books the next step and passes everything to a person.
Will callers know it is an AI?
Yes. We build it to open by saying it is an automated assistant for your firm and that the call may be recorded, in wording you approve, with a route to a person for anyone who asks.
Is this allowed under SRA rules?
The SRA has not banned AI. Its warning notice of 17 August 2026 says firms stay accountable for work done with AI and must protect client confidentiality. Using an AI assistant is your firm's decision and your COLP should sign it off. We give you what they need: what is captured, where it is processed, who the sub-processors are and how long it is kept. We are not a law firm and cannot tell you that your firm is compliant.
Where does the call data go?
We tell you in writing before you sign. Recordings, transcripts and summaries are personal data and may be confidential. Before any live call you get a list of what is captured, which sub-processors handle it and where, how long it is kept, and a data processing agreement. You choose the retention period.
Can it run conflict checks or ID and AML checks?
No. It collects the names a conflict check needs and sends your ID and source-of-funds requests through the tool your firm already uses, then chases until they are done. Your firm runs the checks and makes every decision.
What happens with an urgent or distressed caller?
You set the rules for each practice area. Typical examples are someone at a police station, a risk to safety, a hearing or deadline inside a window you set, or an exchange or completion due today. Those calls go to a named person by phone and text straight away, then to the next person on your list. If a caller is in immediate danger it tells them to ring 999. Anything it is unsure about goes to a person.
Does it work with our case management and billing systems?
That depends on the system and on what it lets us connect to. In the assessment we check what you use. If something can be connected we scope it. If not, summaries, draft file notes and lists go to your email and calendar and your team files them. We tell you which applies before you commit.
Does it replace our receptionist?
No. It covers the gaps: out of hours, lunch, peaks, holiday weeks and overflow, and it takes the repeat chasing off your team. Your people still handle visitors, complex calls and anything that needs judgement.
What does it cost?
The assessment is free. A build is priced on your call volume, practice areas and what we connect to. You get one fixed price in writing after the assessment and before anything is built. If the numbers do not support it, we say so.
I am a sole practitioner or small firm. Is this for me?
It can be. When you are in a meeting, at court or on a completion, nobody else answers. If your volume is too low to make sense, the assessment will show that and we will tell you.
Can I hear it before I decide?
Yes. Ring 0330 533 0665. It asks about your firm, works out where enquiries and admin are leaking, then emails you what it found and how we can help. You also hear exactly how it sounds. Talk about your firm in general terms and please never give real client information to any AI tool you are testing.
