AI agents for law firms, each given one job a paralegal would hand off
An agent here is custom software that reads, decides what to prepare and drafts, then stops for a person. We build a small roster for your firm, each with a narrow job, its own permissions and a log of every step.
- Six agent roles built for legal support work
- Each agent limited to the data it needs
- Attorneys release every output
Support work nobody has time to delegate
Prep outlasts the analysis
Building a conflict list, summarizing 800 pages of records or sorting a week of court notices can take longer than the legal thinking that follows.
Research tools stop at their own app
CoCounsel or Lexis+ AI can analyze a document you upload. They do not fetch it, file it to the matter and tell the paralegal what is missing.
Overflow lands on associates
Hiring a paralegal takes months. Meanwhile the prep work falls to associates at rates clients push back on.
Six agents we build for law firms
Each agent owns one job, sees only the systems that job requires, and hands its work to a named person for approval.
Conflict list agent
Reads the intake narrative and attached documents, extracts every party, alias, parent company and counsel, and runs the list against your contacts and closed matters with likely hits ranked.
Court notice agent
Watches the NEF inbox, matches each notice to its matter, attaches the filed document and drafts a proposed docket entry for the clerk.
Records chronology agent
Turns medical, employment or billing records into a dated chronology with page citations, and flags gaps in treatment or missing date ranges.
Missing documents agent
Compares what a matter holds against its checklist, drafts the client request and follows up on schedule until the file is complete or a paralegal steps in.
Opposing counsel mail agent
Sorts letters and emails from opposing counsel by matter, summarizes each demand and stated deadline, and drafts an acknowledgment for attorney review.
Pre-bill review agent
Reads draft invoices before the partner does and flags block billing, vague descriptions, entries on the wrong matter and charges a client's outside counsel guidelines disallow.
Where these agents fit
Client intake
The conflict list agent sits inside a full intake flow.
Document drafting
The chronology agent pairs with template-based drafting.
Matter workflows
The notice agent feeds matter hand-offs and docket review.
Outside counsel guidelines
Insurance and corporate clients' billing rules become checks the pre-bill agent applies to each draft invoice.
Document management
Agents read and write in NetDocuments, iManage or SharePoint through their APIs, inside your existing permissions.
Custom agent development
How we design, test and maintain agents for any business.
Why a law firm can supervise these agents
A named supervisor for each agent
Every agent has a written job description, a responsible person and a log, so the firm can show the oversight Rule 5.3 and Formal Opinion 512 describe.
Ethical walls respected
Agents run on service accounts limited to the matters their job needs, and walled matters are excluded from what they can read.
Facts, not legal conclusions
Agents summarize and organize. They do not give clients legal conclusions or add case law to anything.
Client data kept out of training
Agents use model provider accounts in your firm's name under terms that exclude training on inputs, with logs retained to your policy.

Common questions
What are AI agents for law firms?
Software workers built for one legal support job each, such as preparing conflict lists or sorting court notices. They read your systems, prepare a draft and stop for a person to approve it.
How is the chronology agent different from CoCounsel summarizing a file?
A research tool summarizes what you upload. The agent pulls records from the matter folder, builds a chronology with page cites, saves it back to the matter and tells the paralegal which date ranges are missing.
Can an agent see matters behind an ethical wall?
It is set up so it cannot. Agents use accounts limited to the matters and folders their job needs, and walled matters are excluded.
Will the pre-bill agent cut our revenue?
It flags entries clients are likely to reject anyway, before the bill goes out. The billing partner decides what changes.
Does the court notice agent calculate deadlines?
It proposes an entry and shows the notice text. Your docketing clerk applies the court rules and confirms the date.
Who is accountable when an agent gets something wrong?
The supervising lawyer, as with any assistant. That is why every output waits for a named person, and every correction is logged so we can fix the cause.
Pick your firm's first agent
Take the 2-minute AI audit and see which agent would give your paralegals the most time back.
- Pick the agent with the clearest checklist
Conflict lists and court notices follow defined rules, so they make a good first agent.
- Give it the narrowest access
The agent gets read access to the systems it needs and write access only to a draft folder or review queue.
- Score its drafts against staff work
For several weeks a paralegal does the same job in parallel, and we track every correction.
- Widen duties on the record
When corrections drop, the supervising attorney decides what it may do with lighter review, and we keep tuning it monthly.
