AI Automation for Law Firms
Research, review, and intake at a fraction of the billable overhead
Legal work is document work, which makes it unusually well suited to AI — provided every output is grounded in a real source. VelvoAI builds systems that retrieve from your actual matter files, statutes, and precedents and cite what they used, so the work product can be checked rather than trusted.
Built by VelvoAI, an independent AI systems studio. One engineer scopes and writes every system.

Where it hurts
What slows law firms down
- Junior time disappears into research and first-pass document review
- Precedent and know-how are scattered across matters nobody can search effectively
- Client intake and conflict checking are manual and slow the engagement
- Contract review is repetitive but too consequential to rush
- Non-billable admin — filing, chasing, summarising — crowds out billable hours
The boundary
What has to be true before anything ships in law firms
Compliance noteLaw Firms
Nothing leaves the building unverifiable. Output is grounded in the firm's own matter files, statutes and precedents, and cites the passage it used, so a fee earner checks the source rather than trusting a summary. Privilege survives the same way it does on paper: access follows the matter, and a preliminary conflict check runs before an enquiry becomes a client.
Hear it first
Call a working voice agent
The AI demo line runs a voice receptionist end to end: it answers, works out why you are calling, offers a time and hands anything urgent to a person. It is not set up for law firms; it shows how a call is answered, qualified and handed over before anything is scoped for your sector.

Questions law firms ask before building
01How do you protect privileged and confidential material?
Access is enforced per matter at the retrieval layer, so a user only ever retrieves from files they are cleared on. Ethical walls are configured explicitly, and every query is logged. Where data cannot leave your environment, we deploy inside it.
02Can we rely on the AI's legal research?
Treat it as a very fast paralegal, not as counsel. Every claim carries a citation to a retrieved source so it can be verified, and the systems are tuned to say nothing rather than to fabricate. Professional review remains non-negotiable.
03What is the fastest thing to implement?
Usually matter document search across your existing archive. It touches no client-facing process, the value is obvious within a week, and it builds the retrieval foundation everything else sits on.
