For Law Firms
AI for law firms: a team that handles the intake, documents, and research.
A small practice's billable time is eaten by intake admin, document chasing, and research. A Kuvai AI team handles the non-advisory work — vetting intake packages against your requirements, researching with citations, and keeping your precedents current — so your lawyers spend their hours on the law. Everything is drafted for your review; nothing is filed or sent on its own.
Client intake — Smith matter
Checked against your intake checklist
Engagement letter signed
received and complete
Conflict check — needs your sign-off
flagged, not cleared automatically
ID verification missing
draft request prepared
Retainer received
matches the engagement terms
Nothing is filed or sent without your sign-off.
What can AI do for a law firm without giving legal advice?
AI for a law firm handles the high-volume, non-advisory work around the practice — intake and document checks, cited research, and keeping internal knowledge current — so lawyers spend their time on judgement and client work. The safe way to do it is a teammate that drafts and never files, advises, or sends on its own.
That's the model Kuvai uses. Your teammates are grounded in your matters, checklists, and precedents, so their work reflects how your firm actually operates — not generic legal content. They vet documents, research from sources you can verify, and draft for your review, while filing, sending, and any legal judgement stay with your lawyers. Every action is logged with its reason.
Check the intake package, research with citations, keep the precedents current — and leave the law, and every send, to the lawyers. That's the whole job.
Where a small practice loses billable time
Intake and document chasing
Confirming every engagement letter, ID, and required document is present and current is exacting admin that delays the matter.
Research that eats hours
Background research on a question or matter is valuable but slow, and rushed research shows.
Precedents and know-how that drift
The firm's templates and knowledge live in people's heads and stale folders, so the same work gets redone.
Client correspondence backlog
Routine client questions and acknowledgements pile up behind the work that actually needs a lawyer.
Your AI team for a law firm
These are the teammates small practices lean on most. Each is grounded in your matters and drafts for your review.
Mia — Inbox Coordinator
- Reads forwarded emails and document packages against your checklists
- Drafts the reply for your review
Priya — Research Analyst
- Gathers cited research from primary sources
- Monitors the market and keeps a living brief current
Dakota — Knowledge Manager
- Keeps your SOPs and documents current
- Answers questions from your own sources, with citations
Build any of these from a ready-made role, or describe your own — every teammate drafts; your lawyers decide.
What it looks like at your firm
Intake vetted the day it arrives
Forward the intake package to Mia and she checks it against your matter-opening checklist — engagement letter, ID, conflicts to flag, retainer — and drafts the request for anything missing.
Research with citations you can verify
Priya gathers background on a question or company from primary sources and synthesises it with every claim linked, so the associate starts from a cited brief rather than a blank search.
A precedent library that stays current
Dakota keeps your templates, SOPs, and know-how current and answers questions from them with citations, so juniors get the firm's way of doing things from a trusted source.
Every workflow ends in a draft for your review. No teammate files, sends, or advises on its own.
Built for work that has to be confidential and correct
A law firm can't hand client matters to an autopilot. These are the guardrails every teammate runs inside — by design.
They draft, you decide
Teammates prepare and queue work; filing, sending, and legal judgement always stay with your lawyers. Nothing leaves the firm without sign-off.
Client data stays confidential
Matter information is scoped to you and used only within the access you grant — not to train anything.
Every action is logged with its reason
What a teammate did, why, and against which document is recorded, so there's an audit trail by default.
They stay in their lane
The non-advisory work is the job; anything outside it is flagged for a lawyer rather than guessed at.
