An AI automation consultancy

Recover the billable hours
your firm has been leaving on the table.

Solo and small law firms lose 30–40% of an attorney’s week to non-billable work — intake triage, document drafting, lead follow-up, after-hours callbacks, case-status comms. Quillwright maps it, builds the automations that absorb it, and stays on as the firm’s dedicated AI person under a monthly retainer.

A weekly artifact each of your attorneys gets in their inbox — what the firm’s automation absorbed, and where the recovered time went.

What we sell

Recovered billable time — not technology.

We don’t sell you a platform, a license, or another place where your data lives. We sell the hours your attorneys would otherwise spend on work that pays $0/hr. The tools behind it are invisible by design — they are the plumbing, and you should be arguing a motion when they run.

How it’s tuned

Built to your case mix, your voice, your jurisdiction.

The five workflows we ship first are the same on every firm — intake, drafting, lead follow-up, after-hours intake, case-status updates — but the prompts, the routing, the templates, and the regulatory posture are written specifically to your practice. Nothing is copy-pasted from another client’s file.

The five workflows we build

The five automations that pay for themselves first.

Every firm starts with a different shape. These five builds are where we almost always start, in our experience across PI, family, criminal, and plaintiff-side practices.

Client intake triage
Form submitted: PI leadEXAMPLE OUTPUT

Auto-booked 9:15am consult · SMS confirmation sent

Every new enquiry is read, scored, and routed to the right attorney the moment it lands — by matter type, jurisdiction, and the urgency signals that actually predict case value.

Document drafting
Matter opened: Reyes v. Coastal LogisticsEXAMPLE OUTPUT

“Pursuant to negotiations between counsel…”

Engagement letters, retainer packets, and demand letters draft themselves from your prior work product. You arrive at review with a five-minute sign-off — not an hour of hunt-and-peck.

Lead follow-up
Re: your PI enquiry (May 14)EXAMPLE OUTPUT

“You mentioned surgery was still pending — has the date moved?”

A long-silent lead list becomes a reactivation sequence. Each touch is tuned to the original enquiry and the matter type, with a clear handoff back to a human when interest returns.

After-hours AI intake
Inbound call · 7:42pm · PI new matterEXAMPLE OUTPUT

“Voicemail transcribed · callback scheduled for 8:30am”

A missed call between 5pm and 9am becomes a recovered consultation the next morning — answered by an AI that knows your intake script, escalates true emergencies, and leaves a written record you can act on.

Status update · Reyes v. Coastal LogisticsEXAMPLE OUTPUT

“Discovery closes 8/30 — your deposition is set for 9/12.”

Existing clients get the proactive status update that earns referrals — a short, plain-English note on where the matter stands and what’s next, drafted from the case file, no paralegal hours required.

The work that pays $0/hr

The work that pays $0/hr is the work that still gets done.

In a typical small practice, thirty to forty percent of an attorney’s week is non-billable — call-backs, intake triage, document assembly, lead follow-up. None of it is hard work. All of it is work an AI stack, tuned to the firm, can absorb — and the billable hours it frees can go back into the practice.

Recovered from intake, drafting, follow-up — put back into the billable work that actually grew the practice.

20–40%

more consults

Same lead flow. Same ad spend. More consultations booked — answered by an AI that doesn’t sleep.

5pm → 9am

after-hours covered

The voicemails that used to die in the overnight queue are now triaged, texted back, and waiting for you at the desk.

Engagement

A three-step engagement. The third step is the product.

The build is what the brochure is about. The retainer is what makes it worth doing — because the regulatory landscape around generative AI in legal practice is moving fast, and the firm needs a person who stays current on its behalf.

  1. Step 01Week 1

    Map

    We sit in on a real week — calls, intake, drafting, follow-up — and write down exactly where billable hours are leaking. You see the full map before any code exists.

  2. Step 02Weeks 2–6

    Build

    We assemble the automations one at a time, in the order that pays for itself fastest. Each one ships with a written runbook your team can use without us in the room.

  3. Step 03Month 7 and onward

    Stay on retainer

    The build is the start, not the product. We stay on as your firm’s AI person — keeping automations healthy, adding new ones as the practice grows, and standing between you and the regulatory pressures moving through legal AI.

The retainer

A rounding error against your hourly rate.

A one-time setup fee, then a monthly retainer of $1,500–$3,000 for the firm’s dedicated AI person. The tool costs we pass through run $50–$100 per client per month — putting gross margin comfortably above 90%, against attorneys billing $200–$500 per hour.

Setup feeOne-time
Monthly retainer$1,500–$3,000
Tool cost we pass through$50–$100 / client
Compared to hourly billing$200–$500 / hr

FAQ

The questions partners actually ask.

Still uncertain? The short version: email me and we’ll spend thirty minutes finding out together.

Solo practitioners and firms with two to ten attorneys. If you have a managing partner, an intake person, and a paralegal or two — you are exactly the shape we build for. Bigger firms usually already have IT and process teams; the math doesn’t work the same way.
