Law Firms · WhatsApp Automation

WhatsApp automation for law firms.

Intake, conflict checks and matter onboarding — handled on WhatsApp before a fee earner picks up the file.

Law firms team using WhatsApp automation in South Africa

Senior fee earners are expensive to spend on intake calls. Otomate handles the first conversation, captures the matter details, runs the conflict check prompts, and only routes to a fee earner once the basics are documented and the client is ready to instruct.

Example scenario

A new client enquires on Friday at 6pm

A new client WhatsApps for help with an estate. Otomate confirms the matter type, runs conflict-check questions, sends the FICA list, captures ID and a power of attorney, and lands a fully documented file for the candidate attorney to review Monday morning. No partner had to spend an hour on intake.

Questions, answered.
