22 Hours Per Week Recovered Through Practice Automation
A 40-person law firm had missed two mandatory compliance communications in a single quarter, triggering an internal review. We automated intake, document management, and the compliance communication chain. Zero regulatory incidents since.
What We Were Solving
A 40-person commercial law firm had grown to the point where manual processes were constraining revenue. Client intake involved paper forms, manual data entry into three systems, and individually drafted confirmation emails. Document requests were tracked on a shared spreadsheet that was frequently out of date. Compliance communications, legally required at specific intervals, relied on individual solicitors remembering to send them. Two compliance communications had been missed in the previous quarter, triggering an internal review and risking regulatory sanction.
Our Strategic Approach
We built a practice automation system covering three high-cost workflows. A digital client intake pipeline captures information once and pushes it to all internal systems, triggering the correct engagement letter and onboarding sequence. An automated document management workflow handles request tracking, chase sequences for overdue items, and secure upload. A compliance communication engine schedules and sends mandatory communications based on case type and timeline rules. Human memory is no longer part of the compliance chain. All systems include full audit logging.
