Law Firms 90-day payback guarantee

Your paralegals are organizing discovery documents at 10pm. Again.

60-70% of paralegal time is spent on document review and organization — tasks that AI-powered workflows can handle end-to-end.

Leverwork replaces the role entirely — it doesn't add another tool your team ignores. AI workers handle document processing, billing entry, and client intake end-to-end.

The challenge

Your daily reality

The hidden costs of manual legal support that eat into your billable hours.

01

Document Review Overload

Paralegals spend 60-70% of their time on document review and organization — work that could be sorted, tagged, and indexed automatically

02

Billing Entry Burden

Billing entry takes 15-20 minutes per matter every single day — your lawyers are doing admin work instead of billable work

03

Intake Bottleneck

Client intake is a bottleneck because somebody has to manually check conflicts, create the matter, and set up the file

04

Support Staff Costs

$200K-$300K/year for 4-person support staff when half of that work could be handled by AI

Roles we replace

These are the positions Leverwork can fully take over — not augment.

01

Paralegals

Document review, organization, discovery processing, deposition prep

02

Legal Assistants

Billing entry, client intake, conflict checks, filing

03

Administrative Staff

Calendar management, deadline tracking, document formatting

Handled end-to-end

Every workflow, handled end-to-end

We don't assist with legal admin. We handle it completely.

Client Intake & Conflict Check
Before — manual

New client inquiry → Manual conflict check across all matters → Create new matter in Clio → Set up client file → Assign billing matters → Send intake forms (10 steps, 45-60 min)

After — handed to AI

New client inquiry → AI checks conflicts → AI creates matter → AI sets up file → AI sends intake forms (30 seconds)

Document Review & Organization
Before — manual

Receive discovery documents → Manual review for relevance → Tag and categorize → Upload to NetDocuments → Index for search → Prepare for deposition (6 steps, 2-4 hours per case)

After — handed to AI

Receive discovery documents → AI reviews → AI tags and categorizes → AI uploads and indexes → AI prepares summary (30 seconds)

Daily Billing Entry
Before — manual

Open each matter → Review time entries → Format for billing → Generate invoices → Send to clients → Track payments (8 steps, 15-20 min per matter daily)

After — handed to AI

AI pulls time entries → AI formats invoices → AI sends to clients → AI tracks payments (seconds)

Tools vs. workstreams

Why not just use [industry tool]?

Good question. Here's the difference between adding tools and replacing workstreams.

Clio Grow / MyCase Intake

Legal intake optimization

Automates form collection but still requires humans to check conflicts, create matters, and follow up
Leverwork

Leverwork handles the entire intake workflow — including conflict checks, matter creation, and client communication.

AI Document Review

Casetext, Harvey legal research

Good for legal research but not for organizing discovery, indexing documents, or administrative workflows
Leverwork

Full integration with Clio, NetDocuments, and iManage for end-to-end document and matter management.

Paralegals in Low-Cost Markets

Outsourced paralegal services

$25-35/hour still costs $75K+ per year per person, with turnover and training overhead
Leverwork

AI never takes sick days, never makes billing entry errors, and costs $15K-$25K setup plus a monthly retainer — not per headcount.

Case study

Mid-Size Law Firm — $3.2M revenue, 22 employees

A $3.2M firm with 3 full-time paralegals spending 65% of their time on discovery organization and billing entry — and $240K/year in support staff cost — could expect Leverwork to take over document organization, billing entry, and intake processing: paralegals back on substantive work, clean billing entries, and same-day intake instead of a 3-5 day wait on manual conflict checks.

Honest fit

Is Leverwork right for you?

Honest answer: sometimes we're not.

This works best if…

  • Law firms with $1M-$15M revenue
  • Firms using Clio, MyCase, or PracticePanther
  • Teams spending 50%+ of time on administrative tasks
  • Firms with high document volume (litigation, transactions)

Not ideal if…

Solo practitioners with under 50 matters, firms already heavily automated with strong ops, or practices where most work is high-level strategy (not document-heavy). Also not ideal if you want AI to help attorneys rather than fully replace support staff roles.
