For lawyers building a firm of their own
Get back the life your practice keeps taking. Standby Lawyer answers, takes intake and keeps approved administrative work moving, while you keep the judgment, the client and control.
Standby Lawyer is your backup for running a firm: it answers the phone, follows your intake, organizes what came in and brings legal questions back to you. You decide. It does the rest.
Set up a pretend version of your firm, call it, and see exactly what lands on your desk afterwards.
Standby Lawyer answers, follows your approved intake, gathers the facts and separates what is known from what is not.
You get what was collected, what’s missing, what’s urgent and what actually needs your decision.
Routine questions get confirmed answers. Anything that needs legal judgment comes back to you.
Approved payment workflows keep moving. When routine follow up stops being routine, you hear about it.
Built by a lawyer for lawyers building their own firms

The serious part
Standby Lawyer prepares. You decide. Legal questions go to the lawyer. Consequential actions follow the firm’s rules and required approvals.
Eight modules carry approved administrative work from the first call through the life of the matter. Each one follows the rules you set.
Your phone rings while you’re doing something else. Standby Lawyer answers using the intake and Practice Pack you approved.
You get what was collected, what’s missing, what’s urgent and what actually needs your decision.
You said yes. Standby Lawyer prepares what comes next. You approve it before it goes out.
You did the work. Standby Lawyer tracks what was paid, what wasn’t and what needs follow up.
Matter creation, documents, communications, tasks and a history of what happened.
Something is coming up. You should not have to remember to remember it.
Automatic. Approval first. Notify only. You set the boundaries.
Understand what is happening in a matter and prepare for what comes next using the workspace.
The phone is the front door, not the company
Finish the demo above and choose Accept, Need More Information or Decline to see the matching workflow.
Maria's fictional intake moves to the next approved stage. Approving an intake is not agreeing to represent her.
Nothing is sent until your required approval exists.
Signature status updates the workflow.
Your configured Family Law workflow begins.
An uncertain date never silently becomes a confirmed fact or deadline.
The workflow stops. A polite decline in your approved wording waits for your approval. No engagement, signature, payment or opened matter follows.
The intake waits. Standby Lawyer drafts the follow up questions, starting with the separation date, and nothing goes to Maria until you approve it.
The payoff
Standby Lawyer prepares information and administrative work. Legal judgment stays with you.
The AI can propose an action. Your rules determine whether the action is actually allowed.
If Standby Lawyer does something in your firm, you can see what it did, why it did it and which rule allowed it.
When Standby Lawyer reaches a boundary, it stops, brings the issue back to you or asks for your approval instead of improvising.
You should be able to understand where you fit without sitting through a sales call. Choose the level of Standby Lawyer that matches how your firm operates.
