Question 1

Can AI automation really handle client intake for a law firm without missing conflicts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when it's built correctly. The intake bot captures the required fields, runs a structured conflict check against your case management system, and flags anything ambiguous for a human. It doesn't clear conflicts on its own — an attorney still signs off — but it eliminates the two hours of typing that used to precede the review.

Question 2

Is client information protected? What about attorney-client privilege?

Accepted Answer

All processing runs on infrastructure that will sign a BAA and a data processing agreement, with encryption in transit and at rest. Nothing you feed the system is used to train external models. Access is logged and scoped to the matter, so privilege documentation and confidentiality obligations are preserved.

Question 3

How accurate is AI at summarizing contracts and discovery documents?

Accepted Answer

For extraction — parties, dates, obligations, damages caps — accuracy is high enough that most firms use it as the first-pass reviewer, saving associates 60–80% of reading time. Summaries always cite back to the source page, so an attorney can verify anything in seconds instead of re-reading the document.

Question 4

Will this replace paralegals or associates?

Accepted Answer

No. It removes the parts of their day nobody enjoys — retyping intake, chasing signatures, reconstructing time — so the same team can carry more matters. Firms typically use the reclaimed hours to bill higher-value work, not to shrink headcount.

Question 5

How does billable-time capture from calendar and email actually work?

Accepted Answer

It watches your calendar, email, and document activity, groups the events by matter, and produces a draft time entry every afternoon that you approve in one click. Most attorneys recover 3–6 billable hours a week that used to disappear into the gap between the work and the entry.
