Matter Intake, Document Review & Billing at Firm Scale
A firm's work product is documents, and so is its overhead. Matters arrive as files that have to be read before anyone can advise, time has to be captured accurately enough to bill, and conflicts have to be checked before either can start. Scalata's agentic AI platform does the reading, and leaves the judgement where it belongs.
How it works
The four-step journey
The same shape every time: name what is going wrong, put the documents somewhere they can be read, let people ask questions of them, and then hand the repeating parts to agents that do not need asking.
- 01
Confronting Document Volume & Recovery Pressure
Matters arrive as unsorted bundles, precedent lives in people's memories, and time is written up from recollection days later. Conflicts checking is manual, and realisation suffers from work that was done but never recorded.
- 02
Building a Unified Practice Data Core
Matter files, precedent, correspondence and billing records are ingested into one environment with access governed matter by matter, so privilege is enforced by the platform rather than by convention.
- 03
Activating Intelligent Matter & Practice Analytics
Bundles are summarised and issue-spotted, precedent is findable by what it says rather than by who wrote it, and recovery can be examined by matter, client and fee earner.
- 04
Full Automation with Proactive Practice AI Agents
Intake and conflict checks run as files arrive, time narratives are drafted from the work actually done, and agents flag matters drifting past their estimate before the client does.
Strategic Outcome
Fee earners spend their time on advice rather than on assembly. Precedent becomes an asset the whole firm can reach, time is captured while the work is fresh, and a matter running over is a conversation you start rather than one the client starts.
