AI intake and reception built for business law firms

Owners call between meetings about a contract, a dispute, or a company they need formed by Friday. Reflekt Legal answers, captures the entity and the matter, and routes existing clients to the attorney who handles them.

The Problem

Business clients expect the responsiveness they give their own customers

A business law practice is judged on speed and on knowing the client. A new owner who reaches voicemail assumes the firm is too busy; an existing client who has to re-explain who they are assumes the firm does not care.

Matters arrive with a business deadline attached

A contract that has to be signed, a demand letter with a response date, a filing due to the state. The caller already knows the date; the intake has to capture it.

Existing clients want their attorney, not a mailbox

Business clients build a relationship with one partner. When they call the main line and get a general voicemail instead of that attorney or their team, the relationship weakens.

Conflicts are common and costly

Businesses in the same market, counterparties to the same contract, partners in the same company. A matter opened before the parties are checked is a problem discovered late.

Captured at Intake

What's captured on a business law intake call

The AI receptionist follows your firm's new-matter script for businesses and records what the attorney needs before the first meeting.

The business and the caller

Company name, entity type and state if formed, the caller's role, and whether the company is already a client of the firm.

The matter

Formation, contract drafting or review, a dispute, an employment or regulatory compliance question, a transaction, or general counsel work.

Counterparties and deadlines

The other party to a contract or dispute, any demand or notice received and its response date, and any filing or signing deadline.

Parties for the conflict check

The company, its owners, and every counterparty named, so a conflict check can run before the consultation is booked.

How It Works

How a business law firm's calls are handled

New businesses and existing clients get different paths, and the receptionist knows which is which.

Step 1

Answer every call, at every hour

Owners call early, late, and between meetings. Every caller reaches a professional answer, and existing clients are recognized.

See After-Hours Answering

Step 2

Qualify the matter and capture the parties

The company, the matter, the counterparties, and the deadline are captured in your order, and every party is recorded for the conflict check.

See AI Legal Intake

Step 3

Book the consultation

New matters are booked with the right attorney for that kind of work; deadline-driven matters get the earliest slot your firm allows.

See Legal Appointment Scheduling

Step 4

Write the matter into your software

The intake lands in your case management system as a matter with structured fields, and calls on existing files are summarized into them.

Business Law reception and intake questions, answered

Can it route an existing client to their attorney?

Yes. When a caller identifies as an existing client, the receptionist routes to the attorney or team that handles that client, with a live transfer when they are available and a structured message when they are not.

Does it handle general counsel and compliance questions?

It captures the topic and urgency so the attorney knows what the call is about before returning it. It does not answer legal questions itself.

Does it run a conflict check?

It captures every party named on the call and screens them against the rules your firm sets, so a potential conflict is flagged before the consultation is booked. The attorney makes the final call; the receptionist makes sure the names are there to check.

Which case management systems does it write into?

Reflekt Legal syncs with Clio, Filevine, Litify, MyCase, Lawcus, Lead Docket, and the other systems listed on the integrations page. Intake answers and call summaries land in the matter as structured fields rather than a voicemail or an email to re-key.

Every owner answered. Every counterparty checked before the matter opens.
