Never Drop a Client Enquiry Again - AI-Powered Legal Intake
Prospective clients who call after hours, fill in a web form, or WhatsApp your firm expect an instant response. Manual intake processes mean slow follow-up, missed FICA steps, and lost cases. Our AI intake system captures, qualifies, and onboards every new client - 24/7.

Your Intake Process Is Leaking Potential Clients Every Day
South African law firms operate in a highly competitive environment where prospective clients often contact multiple firms simultaneously and instruct the first one to respond clearly and professionally. A slow, manual intake process means you are losing cases to competitors before your attorneys even know an enquiry came in.
- After-hours enquiries via website, email, or WhatsApp receive no response until the next morning - by which time the client has instructed a competitor
- Reception staff manually capturing intake information introduce errors and omit critical conflict-of-interest check data
- FICA compliance - ID verification, proof of address, source of funds - is handled inconsistently, creating regulatory risk
- No CRM means new matter instructions are tracked in email inboxes and spreadsheets, and cases get lost in the handoff between intake and the instructed attorney
- Potential clients who are not yet ready to instruct are never followed up, representing significant lost revenue
A Missed Enquiry Is a Case - and a Fee - You Will Never Recover
With legal aid services and free online legal resources reducing the pool of paying clients, every missed enquiry represents not just a lost fee but a client who will likely never return. The firms winning market share in 2026 are those that respond instantly, qualify accurately, and onboard seamlessly.
Your 24/7 AI Client Intake System
We build a complete AI intake system that captures enquiries from every channel - website, WhatsApp, email, and phone - qualifies prospects, completes FICA compliance steps, runs conflict checks, and creates the new matter in your practice management system automatically.
Omnichannel 24/7 Intake Capture
AI intake bot handles enquiries via website chat, WhatsApp Business, and email after hours - capturing matter details, urgency, and contact information and confirming to the client that their enquiry has been received.
Automated FICA Compliance
The intake workflow guides new clients through FICA document submission - ID, proof of address, source of funds declaration - with automated verification checks and a compliance audit trail for every new matter.
Conflict Check & Matter Creation
New client details are automatically screened against your existing client database for conflicts of interest. On clearance, the new matter is created in your practice management system and assigned to the correct attorney.

Manage Client Intake for Legal
South African Market Perspective
Client intake at South African law firms requires FICA compliance checks, conflict-of-interest screening across all current and former matters, and credit risk assessment. A process that typically takes 3-5 business days and involves multiple departments. AI-powered intake automation can complete FICA verification in under 2 hours using digital ID verification, automate conflict searches across the firm's matter database, and flag credit risk indicators from public records: reducing intake time to same-day while strengthening compliance.
How It Works
Intake Process Audit (Day 1-3)
We map your current intake workflow from first enquiry to matter creation. We identify every drop-off point, compliance gap, and manual step that can be automated. We review your FICA procedures and conflict check process.
AI System Build & Integration (Day 4-8)
We build the AI intake bot, FICA document collection workflow, and conflict check integration. We connect the system to your practice management platform and configure matter creation rules per practice area.
Testing, Staff Training & Go-Live (Day 9-10+)
Your reception team and attorneys test the system with simulated enquiries. We train staff on the dashboard and exception handling. We go live across all channels and monitor the first two weeks closely.
