The challenge

What holds Legal Services businesses back

New matters call after hours

Someone arrested on a Friday night, or a family law enquiry at 9pm, calls the first firm that answers. Miss that call and you miss the matter. An AI receptionist runs the same structured intake at midnight as at midday.

Intake eats fee-earning time

Every new enquiry needs the same qualifying questions before it is worth a solicitor time. AI captures structured intake first, filters out-of-scope enquiries, and books consultations, so your lawyers only speak to real matters.

Confidentiality and data sovereignty

Client information cannot be handled on just any offshore platform. These systems must keep recordings and data on Australian infrastructure and align with the Privacy Act to protect confidentiality and referrer trust.

AI for Legal Services

What Voxotec builds for Legal Services businesses

24/7 AI receptionist & intake

The AI answers every call, holds a natural conversation, and captures structured intake, matter type, parties, urgency, and contact details, then routes or books accordingly, around the clock.

Consultation booking automation

Qualified enquiries are booked into the right solicitor calendar for an initial consultation, with the intake summary attached so the fee-earner starts fully briefed.

Urgent matter routing

Genuinely urgent matters, custody, bail, injunctions, are identified and routed to a duty lawyer or on-call solicitor immediately, with full context carried across the handover.

Conflict and scope filtering

The AI captures the information your firm needs to run a conflict check and filters out-of-scope or speculative enquiries before they reach a lawyer, protecting fee-earning time.

Client update & milestone automation

Automated status updates and milestone messages keep clients informed through the life of a matter, reducing inbound calls and the friction of clients feeling left in the dark.

Fee & appointment enquiry handling

Routine questions about fees, consultation costs, and appointment availability are handled automatically, so reception and paralegals are freed from repetitive calls.

The opportunity

Why Legal Services businesses are investing in AI now

Law firms win and lose matters at the first point of contact. Legal problems do not keep business hours, and a person who has just been arrested, served, or blindsided by a dispute rings firm after firm until someone answers. The firm that picks up, sounds professional, and captures the details wins the matter, and after-hours enquiries are where much of that opportunity sits untouched. An AI receptionist runs the same structured intake at any hour, books the consultation, and has the summary waiting when the firm opens, so your firm stops handing new matters to whoever answered the phone at nine at night.

In legal work, how client information is handled matters as much as how many calls you capture. Voxotec builds these systems with confidentiality and Australian data sovereignty at the core: recordings, transcriptions, and metadata handled on Australian infrastructure, access controlled, and handling aligned with the Privacy Act. On that foundation, the AI takes structured intake, supports conflict checking, filters out-of-scope enquiries, and routes genuinely urgent matters to a duty lawyer instantly, so your solicitors spend their time on real matters, not triage. Most firms are live in 2-6 weeks.

FAQ

Common questions about AI for Legal Services businesses

Can AI handle client intake for my law firm?

Yes. The AI answers every call, holds a natural conversation, and captures structured intake, including matter type, parties, urgency, and contact details, then books a consultation or routes the matter. Fee-earners receive a full summary before they speak to the client.

How do you handle confidentiality and data sovereignty?

We build these systems so recordings, transcriptions, and metadata are handled on Australian infrastructure, with controlled access, appropriate consent, and handling aligned with the Privacy Act, protecting client confidentiality and referrer trust.

Can it route urgent matters to a duty lawyer?

Yes. Genuinely urgent matters such as bail, custody, or injunctions are identified and routed to your duty or on-call solicitor immediately, with full context carried across the handover. You define what counts as urgent.

Does it integrate with Smokeball, LEAP, or Actionstep?

Yes. We integrate with Smokeball, LEAP, Actionstep, and Clio, as well as calendar and document tools like Google Calendar and DocuSign, so intake and bookings flow into your existing systems.

Can it help with conflict checks?

The AI captures the information your firm needs to run a conflict check and filters out-of-scope or speculative enquiries before they reach a lawyer. The conflict decision itself always stays with your team.

Do you work with firms outside Brisbane and the Gold Coast?

Yes. Voxotec is based on the Gold Coast and works with law firms across Brisbane, Queensland, and all of Australia. Everything is configured and supported remotely.

How long does setup take?

Most firms are live in 2-6 weeks depending on integrations and intake complexity. We handle configuration, testing, and onboarding end to end.

Pricing depends on call volume and which workflows you need. Book a free consultation and we will give you a fixed-price proposal.
