AI for Law Firms That Runs First-Touch Intake 24/7, Without Giving Legal Advice
Boafo Agent gives solicitors, barristers' clerks and full-service law firms a branded AI Employee that handles first-touch intake on your website, qualifies matters against your practice areas and books consultations into the right fee earner's Google Calendar, while never giving legal advice.
Live in production with real customers. Trained on your business before launch.
What's getting in the way today
- Out-of-hours enquiries (family, immigration, personal injury) cool off before reception opens.
- Reception spends hours on enquiries outside your practice areas.
- Fee earners get pulled into vague first-touch calls instead of billable work.
- Intake forms collect a name and email but never the matter detail you need.
- Generic chatbots are a regulatory risk, they slip into legal advice the moment they are unsure.
How a Boafo AI Employee works for a law firm
We train an AI Employee on your practice areas, fee earner specialisms, geographies, fee approach (hourly, fixed, conditional) and your strict 'we do not give legal advice' policy. It speaks in plain English and routes everything regulated to a human.
For new enquiries it asks the matter-specific questions intake would ask: type of matter, jurisdiction, opposing party (for conflict-check triage), urgency, key dates and the client's contact details. The structured intake lands in your inbox and Google Sheets ready for a conflict check.
If the matter is in scope it offers a paid or free consultation and books it into the right fee earner's Google Calendar with Meet attached. If it is outside your practice areas it politely captures the lead or signposts.
Sensitive areas (family, crime, immigration, safeguarding) are flagged for human escalation rather than left to the AI.

Where the ROI shows up
In private-client and employment work the firm that responds first usually retains the matter. A Boafo AI Employee captures and triages every new enquiry the moment it lands and typically pays for itself the first time it retains a matter that would otherwise have gone to a competitor.

Does it give legal advice?
No, never. It is explicitly trained to scope and capture, not to opine. It states clearly that it is not a solicitor and routes anything regulated to a human, with the full conversation attached.
How does it support conflict checks?
Intake collects matter type, client name, opposing party where relevant and jurisdiction so your team can run a conflict check quickly before any retainer.
Can we keep certain practice areas off the AI?
Yes. Sensitive areas (for example crime, safeguarding) can be handed straight to a human from the first message rather than handled by the AI.
Will it integrate with our practice management system?
Leads are delivered to email and Google Sheets out of the box, and we send a webhook into Clio, LEAP, Actionstep, custom systems and CRMs.
Is it compliant and secure?
Conversations are stored in your tenant only with strict row-level security, UK and EU data residency, and encryption in transit and at rest. Read more on the security page.
How long to launch?
Most firms are live within a week, including practice-area routing, intake questions and consultation booking.
