Workflow Automation for Law Firms
A workflow automation built for law firms.
Matter opening, engagement letters, document filing, deadline tracking, and billing prep are all necessary and none of them are billable. Automating the mechanical parts converts administrative hours back into fee-earning capacity.
Built by VelvoAI, an independent AI systems studio. One engineer scopes and writes every system.

Use cases
What this handles for law firms
Non-billable admin is the most expensive time in the firm.
- Open matters with engagement letters, folder structures, and records generated automatically
- File incoming correspondence against the correct matter without manual sorting
- Track limitation dates and court deadlines with escalating reminders
- Assemble time entries and disbursements into billing drafts each cycle
Matter administration handled automatically, with fee earners reviewing rather than assembling.
How it runs
Day to day for law firms
Matter opening is the same sequence every time and it is done by hand: conflict search, client care letter out, engagement terms back, identity documents collected, file opened, ledger created. Automating it means the sequence runs the moment intake completes, each step waits on the one before it, and anything that fails lands in a queue with the input attached rather than disappearing.

Workflow Automation for Law Firms — questions
01Can it file correspondence to the right matter reliably?
Matching runs on matter reference, party names, and thread history, and anything below the confidence threshold goes to a review queue. Misfiling a document is worse than asking, so the threshold is set high deliberately.
02Does it integrate with our practice management system?
Most cloud practice management systems expose an API. For older on-premise systems the integration runs at the database or file level, which is slower to build but entirely workable. We confirm the path during scoping.
