Where law firms & solicitors lose enquiries

Calls missed while you're with clients

Your team is in consultations or court appearances when potential clients call. Valuable enquiries go to voicemail and are forgotten. You never know what you lost.

After-hours enquiries disappear into silence

Clients enquire about family law matters, conveyancing, or urgent personal injury cases outside office hours. They turn to your competitors who answer immediately. You don't even know they contacted you.

Receptionist drowning in repetitive questions

Half your calls are the same questions: What areas do you cover? How much is a consultation? How long does conveyancing take? Your receptionist repeats answers all day instead of helping clients.

Leads escape without contact details

Prospects ring in, get partial answers, and hang up without leaving their details or describing their legal issue. You have no way to follow up.

How it sounds to your customers

Your assistant answers in your law firm's own words, using the knowledge you give it — and captures the enquiry or books the visit before the customer moves on.

  • Capture every enquiry, 24 hours a day

    Someone calls about employment law at 10pm, sends a message about a will dispute on Sunday, or asks about family law advice on a public holiday. Chat4Biz answers, captures their name, contact details, and case description — then notifies your team immediately so you can follow up Monday morning.

  • Answer your FAQ instantly — from your knowledge base

    New client asks about your practice areas or fees. Chat4Biz pulls answers directly from your documentation: conveyancing takes 8–12 weeks, your hourly rate is 180–350 GBP depending on seniority, you offer a free 30-minute initial consultation. Accurate, consistent, always available.

  • Book consultations without back-and-forth

    Prospect wants to meet you about their divorce. Chat4Biz offers available appointment slots from your Google Calendar, confirms their preferred date and time, and enters them into your calendar automatically. No emails, no phone tag.

  • Explain complex processes in plain English

    Client doesn't know if they qualify for legal aid or what documents to bring to their first appointment. Chat4Biz explains the process clearly, removes anxiety, and makes them more confident before they walk through your door.

law firm assistant

Hi, I need help with a divorce. What areas of law do you cover and do you offer a free consultation?
Hello. We cover a broad range of practice areas including family law — which includes divorce, child arrangements, and prenuptial agreements. Yes, we offer a free initial 30-minute consultation for all new clients, either in person, by phone, or via video call. Would you like to book a consultation with one of our solicitors?
Yes. What's the rough cost and how long does this typically take?
Family law matters are charged at hourly rates ranging from 180 to 350 GBP plus VAT, depending on the solicitor's seniority. We'll provide a detailed cost estimate before starting work. Timescales vary depending on complexity — some matters settle quickly, others take longer if court involvement is needed. We'll discuss this in detail at your consultation. When would you like to meet? I can show you our available appointment slots.
Wednesday 14:00 works. My name is Sarah Mitchell and my mobile is 07700 900123.
Perfect. I've booked you in for Wednesday at 14:00 with one of our family law solicitors. We'll call you on 07700 900123. You'll receive a confirmation email with all the details. Looking forward to helping you.

Law firms & solicitors — common questions

What can the AI receptionist answer about?

It answers FAQs pulled directly from your knowledge base: what areas of law you cover, your fees and payment terms, how long matters typically take (conveyancing, divorce, probate), your opening hours, the consultation process, whether you offer legal aid, what documents to bring, and how cases are progressed. It hands off to your team for case-specific legal advice, updates, or urgent matters.

Can it book consultations?

Yes. If you use Google Calendar, Chat4Biz shows available slots, lets prospects book directly, adds them to your calendar, and sends confirmation. You can also set it to capture their details and preferred times, then have your team confirm — your choice based on how busy you are.

Does it work when the office is closed?

Yes. It's online 24/7 on your website widget and Telegram, so enquiries come in nights, weekends, and bank holidays. Your team gets an instant notification with their details and what they need — then you reply when you're back in the office.

Is it GDPR safe for legal practice?

Absolutely. Chat4Biz is UK-built and hosted, fully GDPR compliant, and powered by Anthropic's Claude. Captured enquiries are encrypted and stored securely. No data leaves the UK and nothing is used to train AI models.
