Ever had a client call at midnight, anxiously asking about their case status? Or found yourself repeatedly answering the same basic procedural questions, taking time away from critical legal work?
A Thomson Reuters study reveals that 86% of law firms cite client demands for faster, more transparent communication as their biggest challenge. Yet, most firms struggle to provide the 24/7 availability and instant updates that clients expect.
The pressure on legal support teams is mounting. Clients want immediate responses, transparent communication, and regular updates – demands that traditional support models can’t meet efficiently.
But there’s a transformative solution emerging: AI-powered legal customer care. It’s not about replacing legal expertise; it’s about enhancing client communication and support while freeing up valuable time for substantive legal work.
