Standard Claude, set up for a small law firm: every open case checked each morning, consult notes the whole team can use, and intake replies drafted from your fee schedule. A lawyer reads everything before it goes out.




Companies I've built for
8:00 AM
3 cases need someone
From your case system and the shared inbox.
1:12 AM
Work permit renewal, unassigned since Monday.
2:40 AM
Two emails, no reply in 52 hours. Draft confirms the documents.
4:05 AM
Evidence 6 of 12. The missing six are listed for the paralegal.
Checked before anyone got in.
A case sits with no owner until the client calls to ask why nobody wrote back.
The consult went well, and the notes live in whoever took the call.
The work got filed, and the invoice never went out.
Inquiries wait a day because only one partner knows what to quote.
You pay for AI, and nobody's sure they're allowed to paste a client file into it.
Each one is a job Claude can take off the firm's desk. Here's the same firm, set up.
A made-up firm with made-up clients. It runs through a few on its own. Pick one to take over, or open a source to see where each line came from.
Which cases need someone today?
I can't see your case management system. If you paste in a case list, I can sort it for you.
Write up this morning's consultation for the team.
Paste your notes and I'll summarize them. I don't know your fee for this kind of case, or who usually takes it.
Which closed cases were never billed?
I'd need your case list and your billing records side by side. I can't see either one.
Reply to the inquiry that came in last night.
I can write a polite reply. I don't know what you charge, or how a consult gets booked.
Which cases need someone today?
Three. The Ortiz case has had no assigned attorney since Monday. The Chen client has emailed twice with no reply in 52 hours. The Patel RFE response is due Friday, and the evidence checklist is half done.
Write up this morning's consultation for the team.
Posted to the team channel: family-based green card, spouse is a citizen, no prior denials. Your fee schedule puts it at $4,500 flat, filing fees extra. Next step is the engagement letter, and Dana usually takes these.
Which closed cases were never billed?
Fourteen closed cases have a filing logged and no invoice. The biggest is the Ramos work permit renewal, filed March 3 and never billed.
Reply to the inquiry that came in last night.
Draft's ready: your consults are $150, credited to the fee if they hire you, with a booking link for this week. It's in your drafts, and nothing goes out until you send it.
The second one has the firm's case system, fee schedule and shared inbox connected, and every answer shows where it came from.
14 days
Hearings inside 14 days, listed
Reports from the firm's case management system: cases with no assigned attorney or paralegal, and hearings inside 14 days. Running on an immigration firm's open cases.
300+
Missed fees found
A missed-fee audit of the same firm's cases found clients who moved and were never charged the change-of-address fee.
Total collected
Her dashboard's headline number
A collections dashboard built on Clio. The attorney checked its total against her own Clio data and signed off.
None of these run inside Claude. A case check in your Claude is exactly what the guarantee covers: live on your real cases by day 14, or all your money back. The terms
Opinion 512 is the ABA's guidance on generative AI. Here's each duty it covers, what the setup does about it, and the source for every line. I'm not a lawyer: your state's version of each rule, and your own ethics counsel, decide.
| The duty | What it asks of you | What the setup does |
|---|---|---|
| Competence Rule 1.1 | Keep up with "the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology" (Comment 8), and understand a tool well enough to check its work. Rule 1.1, cmt. 8 [1]ABA Op. 512 [2] | A walkthrough of what it can reach and where it fails, on your own cases, and an exit doc your firm keeps. |
| Confidentiality Rule 1.6 | Protect client information. For self-learning tools, Opinion 512 calls for informed consent, and "merely adding general, boiler-plate provisions to engagement letters" is "not sufficient." ABA Op. 512 [2] | Claude Team or Enterprise, where Anthropic doesn't train on your content by default, in your firm's own accounts, with access set per person. During setup I work inside those accounts under a confidentiality agreement, my access ends at handover, and I keep no copies. Whether a matter needs client consent stays your call, and the FAQ below gives you the facts it turns on: training, retention and who can see what. Anthropic: no training [3]Anthropic on privilege [7] |
| Communication Rule 1.4 | Opinion 512 covers when a client should be told that generative AI is used on their matter. ABA Op. 512 [2] | A plain list of what each job reads and writes. Opinion 512 says some uses require telling the client; which apply to your matters is yours to decide, and the list makes the answer easy to give. |
| Candor Rules 3.1, 3.3 | Every authority you cite has to exist. In Mata v. Avianca, two lawyers and their firm were sanctioned $5,000 under Rule 11 for citing cases ChatGPT invented. Mata v. Avianca [4] | It isn't set up to cite cases from memory. Research goes through CoCounsel Legal or CourtListener if you use them, and every answer shows its source. Anthropic legal connectors [5] |
| Supervision Rules 5.1, 5.3 | Supervise the lawyers, staff and outside help doing the work, tools included. ABA Op. 512 [2] | Drafts only. Nothing is sent or filed without a lawyer, the same rule Anthropic puts on its own legal plugins. Anthropic legal plugins [6] |
| Fees Rule 1.5 | Opinion 512 also covers how to bill for work done with generative AI. ABA Op. 512 [2] | Nothing in the setup bills a client or records time. How you bill AI-assisted work stays with you, and Opinion 512 is the guide. |
I map how your firm runs intake, cases and billing, and set up Claude Team to do the checking and drafting before anyone gets in.

My company, Nexrizen, runs on Claude, set up to know our email, docs and calls. It answers questions and drafts the work every day. I set up standard Claude Team to do that for other small teams.
I grew up on computers that looked like this, and they all came with the same promise: let the machine do the boring part. Claude finally keeps it.
