AI agents for law firms — privacy first.
Client intake that runs at 11pm. Document triage that flags what matters. Compliance monitoring that doesn't sleep. Built without code, on infrastructure designed for legal-grade privacy.
An AI agent for law firms is a software teammate that handles the high-volume, low-judgement work around a matter — intake, triage, tracking, follow-up — while every point of legal judgement stays with a solicitor. Firms typically build six kinds: a client intake agent that walks new clients through discovery and produces a structured brief, a document triage agent that flags urgent items and summarises for the partner, a deadline tracker that watches statutory dates and case milestones, a client status agent that sends case updates in the firm's voice, a conflict-check agent that screens new matters against the client history, and a compliance monitor that watches regulatory changes in the practice area. Each runs on Squidgy's dedicated legal tier — a separate regulated-data backend with privacy controls and model selection — so a firm can automate the volume without moving judgement or client data outside its control.
Six agents to start with.
Client intake agent
Walks new clients through intake conversationally, gathers facts, generates a structured brief.

Document triage
Reviews incoming documents, flags urgent items, summarises for the partner's review.
£199/mo per practice area
Deadline tracker
Monitors statutory deadlines and case milestones, sends reminders to the responsible solicitor.
£49/mo per matter
Client status agent
Sends regular case status updates to clients in your firm's voice. Reduces phone tag.
£29/mo per client
Conflict check
Runs conflict checks against your historical client database for new matters.
£19 per check
Compliance monitor
Watches regulatory changes in your practice area, flags relevant items for review.
£249/mo
The new-matter intake agent.
A 12-solicitor regional firm handles ~80 new matter intakes per month, currently consuming roughly 30 hours of paralegal time. Launches an intake agent that conversationally walks clients through the firm's standard discovery — facts, parties, jurisdiction, prior counsel — and produces a structured brief.
Pricing: bundled into the firm's per-matter overhead — £99 per matter on Squidgy's legal tier. 80 matters × £99 = £7.9K/month, recouping 25 paralegal hours, freeing those staff for higher-value work.
All client data stays on Squidgy's regulated-data infrastructure with full audit logs. The firm controls retention, access, and deletion — built for legal compliance from day one.
What a legal said
“Intake was eating two paralegal-days a week. The agent runs initial intake conversations, captures the matter type, flags conflicts, and only books a partner call if it passes our criteria. Privacy posture matched the bar — that's why we shipped.”

Common questions.
Is Squidgy compliant with legal-data privacy requirements?+
Squidgy operates a separate regulated-data tier for legal — distinct backend, privacy controls, and model selection. Firms can configure data retention, audit logs, and access controls to meet their jurisdiction's requirements (UK SRA, US ABA, etc.). We can sign DPAs and BAAs as needed.
Can the agent give legal advice?+
Out of scope by default. Agents are configured to handle factual and procedural queries while declining anything requiring legal judgement. Substantive advice escalates to a solicitor.
What about client confidentiality?+
Client data is isolated to the firm's tenant on Squidgy. Models do not train on client data. Conversations are logged and auditable; the firm controls retention and deletion. Designed for solicitor-client privilege.
Will my insurer cover use of an AI agent?+
Increasingly yes — major legal-malpractice insurers cover compliant AI agent use, and may even discount premiums for firms using documented systems. Confirm with your specific insurer; we provide compliance documentation.
How does this integrate with our case management software?+
Squidgy supports major case management systems (Clio, MyCase, ActionStep) via API. The agent reads case data, writes intake briefs, syncs status. Custom systems supported via webhooks.
What's the legal vertical's pricing structure?+
Legal tier pricing reflects the additional infrastructure (regulated data, audit logs, dedicated models). Roughly 30–50% above standard Squidgy pricing. Talk to us for firm-level deployments.
What's the best AI agent for a law firm?+
There isn't a single best one — it depends on where the non-billable hours go. If intake eats paralegal time, start with a client intake agent; if documents pile up, a triage agent pays off first; if missed dates are the real risk, a deadline tracker. Generalist tools like ChatGPT can draft any of these, but a Squidgy legal-tier agent runs on regulated-data infrastructure with audit logs, isolates client data to your firm's tenant, and declines anything requiring legal judgement — built for solicitor-client privilege rather than general chat.
