For US law firms doing $2M–$20M. Litigation, family, estate, business.

The average mid-size law firm is leaking $385K–$640K a year on intake and follow-up — before a single privileged keystroke.

Missed intake calls. Web leads that cool in five minutes. A referral pipeline no one is feeding. Reviews you never asked for. Every leak on this page is non-privileged — and every one is fixable today.

What we will not do

Sanders AI does not handle privileged client matters today. No privileged-document analysis. No brief drafting against confidential matters. No conflict-of-interest analysis. No anything that touches client confidences without an engagement-letter framework we do not yet offer.

We sell lite-scope, non-privileged agents only. That covers your intake phone, your voicemail, your referral pipeline, statute and rule navigation against public sources and your own non-privileged work product, and your review-request automation. Everything else is deferred until our CLO architecture-decision-record and an E&O / cyber insurance policy with an explicit legal-services rider are in force.

Where the money goes

Five non-privileged leaks. Every mid-size firm has all five. Most managing partners only see one.

Sourced industry benchmarks
$10M firm baseline
01 / The intake phone

$250K–$400K

28–36% of intake calls go unanswered. The next firm answers.

Per LEXGRO's 2024 intake benchmark, 28% of inbound calls to mid-size firms hit voicemail; 80% of voicemail callers hang up and dial the next listing. In personal-injury, family, and estate work — where blended matter value sits between $5K and $25K — every missed call is a signed case walking to a competitor.

What we ship — Receptionist (intake qualifier) Answers every intake call 24/7. Identifies matter type, runs a basic conflict question, books the consult on your calendar, and routes emergencies to your on-call attorney. Never gives legal advice. Never interprets law.

02 / Partner voicemail

$45K–$75K

Your senior partner loses 45 minutes a day to mobile-call triage.

Clio Legal Trends and ABA Tech Survey data both confirm what every partner already knows: the personal mobile rings constantly with non-priority calls, eating focus during depositions, court, and client meetings. At a mid-market partner rate of $475 per hour, 130 reclaimed hours a year is real money.

What we ship — Voicemail Assistant Screens partner mobile calls. Qualifies the legitimate ones, kills the noise, and texts a structured summary to the partner. No legal content. No privileged callbacks.

03 / The referral pipeline

$40K–$80K

No one is feeding your BD partner a fresh referral list.

Business-development partners at $10M firms typically rely on their own rolodex. There is no systematic source for new referral targets — other firms, CPAs, brokers, ER docs for PI, financial advisors for estate. Per Belkins' 2025 B2B follow-up data, four net-new referral sources per year produce about 2.5 matters each.

What we ship — Lead Researcher Surfaces qualified referral targets from public records, drafts outreach, and tracks meetings. Public-record only — no privileged data, no purchased lead lists.

04 / Statute & rule lookup

$30K–$60K

Associates spend hours navigating statutes and court rules that should take minutes.

Per the ABA Tech Survey, mid-size firms still lose 15–25% of associate capacity to non-billable research and document chasing — much of it routine statute, regulation, and local-rule navigation. A non-privileged Document Copilot trained on public sources and your firm's own non-privileged work product reclaims that hour back.

What we ship — Document Copilot (statute & rule) Answers from public statutes, court rules, regulatory guidance, and your firm's own non-privileged work product. Never ingests client files, matter documents, or opposing-party communications. Scope written into the engagement letter before any document is uploaded.

05 / Review velocity

$20K–$45K

Firms with under 40 reviews disappear from the local pack.

Most happy clients don't leave a Google review unless asked. Lower review velocity = lower local-pack rank for “personal injury attorney near me” = fewer intake calls. Spokk's review-economics research and Above the Law's local-search coverage both model a 0.4-star rating lift at roughly 2% gross revenue.

What we ship — Review Request Sends a post-matter review request via SMS and email. No case content referenced. Routes negative-sentiment replies to the managing partner instead of posting them publicly.

Add it up
$10M firm · annualized · midpoint of each card

Add it up. Your intake phone, partner voicemail, referral pipeline, statute lookup, and review velocity are leaking $385K–$640K a year.

$385K–$640K

Intake calls$250–400K
Voicemail$45–75K
Referrals$40–80K
Statute lookup$30–60K
Review velocity$20–45K

That is the average for a $10M plaintiff-leaning firm. Your numbers will be different — bigger on intake if you're PI-heavy, smaller on referrals if your firm runs cold-list outbound. The free 10-minute review finds where, against your firm's actual revenue band and practice mix.

If the fix is worth building, we build and run it for a flat monthly fee. If it isn't, you keep the analysis.

After the review

One invoice.

Sanders AI holds every key, every subscription, every model. You see one number on one invoice each month.

If the review surfaces something worth building, the engagement is a flat monthly fee — not a project handover.

Two tiers, both subscription. Sanders AI Agents covers ongoing operation, monitoring, prompt tuning, and version upgrades for the lite-scope agents on this page. Chief AI Officer is a fractional executive engagement for firms that want a partner in the room as the regulatory and tooling landscape changes.

Pricing runs from $500 to $20,000 a month, depending on how much you want built. There are no API surprises, no per-seat fees, and no separate vendor invoices.

The fine print

Outcomes vary by business. We don't guarantee any specific outcome, revenue, or savings.

Common questions

What managing partners ask before they book

Does Sanders AI handle privileged client matters?

No. We sell lite-scope, non-privileged agents only — intake routing, scheduling, firm-information FAQ, statute and rule navigation, public-record lead research, and review request automation. Anything that touches client confidences, privileged communications, brief drafting against confidential matters, or conflict-of-interest analysis is deferred until our CLO architecture-decision-record and E&O / cyber insurance with a legal rider are in force. We will tell you when that scope opens up. We will not quietly stretch the engagement to cover it.

How does the Document Copilot work without exposing privilege?

It is scoped to non-privileged content only. Public statutes, court rules, regulatory guidance, secondary sources, and your firm’s own non-privileged work product (engagement-letter templates, jurisdictional checklists, intake scripts, marketing collateral, internal SOPs). It does not ingest client files, opposing-party communications, or any document covered by an attorney-client engagement letter. The scope is written into the engagement before any document is uploaded, and any matter-specific content requires its own privilege-aware framework that we do not offer today.

Can the Receptionist agent give legal information to a caller?

No. The Receptionist is logistics-only. It identifies what kind of matter the caller has, captures contact information, runs a basic conflict question, books a consult on your calendar, and routes after-hours or emergency callers to your on-call attorney. It does not answer questions about the law, interpret a contract, estimate damages, or give any guidance that resembles legal advice. Every caller question that requires legal judgment is escalated to a human attorney with a templated “I’ll have a lawyer call you back” line.

What about UPL (Unauthorized Practice of Law) concerns?

Our Receptionist never gives legal advice or interprets law for callers. It routes intake to your team, schedules consults, and answers firm-logistics questions only. Any caller question that requires legal judgment gets escalated to a human attorney with a templated “I’ll have a lawyer call you back” line. The script is reviewed against your jurisdiction’s UPL rule before we go live, and every interaction is logged for your audit.

When will privilege-exposed agents be available?

When two gates close — a CLO architecture-decision-record covering privilege-aware data handling, model isolation, and breach response, and an E&O / cyber insurance policy with an explicit legal-services rider in force. We are not announcing a date. When the gates close we will publish a separate scope-of-services page and contact firms on the list. Until then, the lite-scope agents on this page are the only thing we sell to law firms.
