For you, building a firm of your own

YOUR FIRM.YOUR RULES.

You built your own firm. You should not have to do every job in it. Standby Lawyer keeps approved administrative work moving while you keep the judgment, the client relationship and control.

Set up a pretend version of your firm, call it, and see exactly what lands on your desk afterwards.

Things law school forgot to mention

YOU WENT SOLO.
NOT INTO ADMINISTRATION.

8:47 AM
Call Sarah back!!!

YOU'RE IN COURT. YOUR PHONE IS STILL RINGING.

Good. Let it. Standby Lawyer answers, follows your approved intake, gathers the facts, separates what is known from what is not, and brings legal questions back to you.

“ANY UPDATE?”

“When is my hearing?” can be a confirmed calendar answer. “Should I accept this settlement?” belongs to the lawyer. Standby Lawyer follows the line you draw.

YOU DID THE WORK.
GET PAID.

Approved payment workflows keep moving without turning you into a full time collections department. When routine follow up stops being routine, you hear about it.

SERIOUS PART.

AI SHOULD NOT
PRACTICE LAW.
YOU SHOULD.

Standby Lawyer prepares. You decide. Legal questions go to the lawyer. Consequential actions follow the firm's rules and required approvals.

ONE CALL.
LOOK WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

The phone is the first proof, not the whole product. The finished Standby Lawyer carries approved administrative work from first contact through the life of the matter.

01

Intake

Your phone rings while you're doing something else. Standby Lawyer answers using the intake and Practice Pack you approved.

02

Decision

You get what was collected, what's missing, what's urgent and what actually needs your decision.

03

Engagement

You said yes. Standby Lawyer prepares what comes next. You approve it before it goes out.

04

Payments

You did the work. Standby Lawyer tracks what was paid, what wasn't and what needs follow up.

05

Matters

Matter creation, documents, communications, tasks and a history of what happened.

06

Calendar

Something is coming up. You should not have to remember to remember it.

07

Rules

Automatic. Approval first. Notify only. You set the boundaries.

08

Matter Intelligence

Understand what is happening in a matter and prepare for what comes next using the workspace.

YOUR RULES AREN'T
A SUGGESTION.

You decide.

Standby Lawyer prepares information and administrative work. Legal judgment stays with you.

The application enforces permission.

The AI can propose an action. Your rules determine whether the action is actually allowed.

Every action has a history.

If Standby Lawyer does something in your firm, you should be able to see what it did, why it did it and which rule allowed it.

Every automation has an offramp.

When Standby Lawyer reaches a boundary, it stops, brings the issue back to you or asks for your approval instead of improvising.

MORE TIME FOR WHAT MATTERS.

Your clients. Your judgment. The work you went to law school for.

Built by a lawyer for lawyers building their own firms

I'M BUILDING THE BACKUP
YOUR FIRM SHOULD HAVE.

I'm Wayman Newton, a lawyer and the founder of Standby Lawyer.

Standby Lawyer is built around a simple division of labor: you keep the legal judgment and the client relationship. Your Standby Lawyer keeps the administrative work moving inside the rules you set.

Your firm. Your rules.

NEVER
PRACTICE
ALONE.

Your firm. Your rules. Your Standby Lawyer.
