## Why law firms lose new clients to missed calls

When a person needs a solicitor or conveyancer, they are usually stressed, often dealing with a time-sensitive matter, and almost certainly ringing more than one firm. Whoever answers first tends to get the work.

Most firms miss a meaningful share of those calls. The phones go to voicemail during a settlement, after hours, or when the team is flat out, and the potential client rings the next firm on the list. After-hours is where it stings most: people deal with legal issues outside business hours, and if no one picks up, that client will find someone who does.

## What to look for in an AI receptionist for a law firm

- Answers instantly, 24/7, so after-hours and lunchtime enquiries do not go to voicemail.
- Professional, calm, and discreet, with a voice that matches the register your firm works in.
- Qualifies the matter type: conveyancing, family law, wills and estates, commercial, employment.
- Books the initial consultation during the call, not just takes a message.
- Qualifies and books, but does not give legal advice. Sensitive matters and anything requiring professional judgement go straight to your team.
- Calls new enquiries back fast (speed-to-lead), so you reach them before they try another firm.
- Sets itself up, so getting started is not another project to manage.
- Lets you hear it before you pay anything.

## How does Callrix handle discretion and sensitive matters?

The AI employee is professional and calm by design. It introduces itself honestly as an AI and handles new-client enquiries with discretion. For sensitive calls, existing-client matters, or anything that clearly needs a solicitor or conveyancer, it takes the caller's details, lets them know the right person will be in touch, and passes the information to your team. The AI does not give legal advice under any circumstances. It qualifies, it books, and it hands off.

## FAQ

**Does it give legal advice?** No. This is a firm line. The AI receptionist qualifies the nature of the enquiry, collects the caller's details, and books an initial consultation. It does not provide legal information, interpret law, or advise on outcomes. Any matter requiring professional judgement is passed to your team.

**Will it sound professional enough for a law firm?** The only honest answer is to hear it yourself. The voices are genuinely human-sounding, the tone is calm and professional, and the AI is straightforward about what it is.

**What happens to after-hours enquiries?** The AI keeps answering. It greets the caller, qualifies the matter type, and either books a consultation or collects their details for a callback the next business day. Sensitive or urgent matters are flagged immediately.

**How long does setup take?** About 10 minutes. The AI reads your website and builds the employee for you. No code, no prompt-writing, no onboarding project.

**Does it work for both solicitors and conveyancers?** Yes. Whether your firm handles conveyancing, family law, wills and estates, commercial matters, or a mix, the AI qualifies enquiries accordingly and routes them to the right person.
