AI receptionists
Answer routine enquiries, collect key details, and route calls to the right person, with clear handover rules for sensitive or complex conversations.
AI automation for law firms
Scale your firm. Keep your team lean.
Simple Publishers is a custom automation studio for law firms. We find the work worth automating, engineer the right system around how your practice already runs, and hand it over working; from AI receptionists and follow-up systems, to case-intake workflows and internal tool intergrations.
Why Simple Publishers
Your firm has already invested in software. You have seen the demos. Maybe you have even tested a few tools.
Months later, the work still moves through inboxes, spreadsheets, and manual handoffs; and no one can point to a system the team actually trusts.
That is where we come in.
AI that earns its place
We find the work worth automating, build around how your firm already operates, and make sure your team can use what we deliver.
Where the work happens
Less friction at every stage of legal work.
From the first enquiry to the work behind each matter, we look for the repeated tasks that slow your firm down and build systems that give your people time back.
-
Client intake
How does an enquiry become an instructed client?
Connect calls, qualification, consultation booking, and follow-up so prospective clients receive a timely response and your team knows exactly what happens next.

Matter operations
How much of each matter is still manual?
Reduce the copying, chasing, and rekeying around legal work. We connect your existing systems and automate routine administration, with review points where your team needs them.

What we install
Practical systems, built around your practice.
We start with the workflow, then choose what to build. Each system fits the software, people, data, and controls your firm already relies on.
Client intake Client intake Enquiry qualification
Gather the information your team needs, organise it by practice area, and pass on a structured summary for your staff to review.
Client intake Booking and follow-up
Connect consultation booking, reminders, and enquiry follow-up so your team spends less time chasing and more time speaking with prospective clients.
Matter operations Client onboarding
Coordinate information requests, document collection, and internal handovers, with a clear view of what is complete and what still needs attention.
Matter operations Document workflows
Extract and organise information, populate approved templates, and prepare material for review. Your legal team keeps control of the final output.
Matter operations Connected practice systems
Move information between your case-management software, inboxes, calendars, and other tools so the same details do not need entering repeatedly.
The install
From a repeated bottleneck to a working part of your firm.
We work alongside the people who will use the system, from understanding the problem to testing real matters and handing over something your team can run.
