Sound familiar?
USPTO and PCT deadlines depend on someone remembering
Section 8/9 maintenance windows, PCT 30-month national-phase deadlines, I-140 priority date tracking, ITC docket dates, FCC filing windows. One missed deadline = malpractice claim. Most firms run a docket spreadsheet that goes stale within a month.
30-40% of partner billable hours never make it onto the timesheet
A 5-minute call here. A doc review there. The client question answered between meetings. By Friday, partners can't reconstruct Monday. Industry studies show 30-40% time leakage on partner-led work. At $400-700/hr, that's $50K-$150K per partner per year.
Conflict checks happen after engagement is drafted
Associate spends 90 minutes on an engagement letter, sends it for partner review, partner runs the conflict check, conflict found, redo from scratch. Conflict-first workflow is rare because it requires data discipline most firms don't have.
Inbound client emails drag partners off case work
Most are status updates the firm already has the answer to. ABA Opinion 512 says no substantive legal advice in unsupervised AI replies — but routine "where are we on the matter" / "did you receive my docs" / "when is the next deadline" lives in the firm's data and is safe to answer.
How it works
Connect your matter management
Clio Manage, MyCase, PracticePanther, NetDocuments, iManage — pick yours. We pull matters, deadlines, contacts, and conflict data. Calendar + sent-items connect for timesheet automation.
Deadline tracker goes live
Every active matter gets a deadline schedule. USPTO Section 8/9, PCT 30-month, I-140 priority, ITC docket dates, FCC windows — all monitored. 30/14/7-day proactive alerts. Missed deadline = conscious decision, never an accident.
AI handles client comms with ABA-aware escalation
Routine client questions answered in your firm's voice. Anything substantive ("should I sue", "is this contract enforceable") escalates to a partner with full context — never answered in writing by AI. ABA Opinion 512 + Rule 5.3 patterns built in.
Daily timesheet drafted automatically
Calendar events + sent emails + matter context → 0.1-hour increments → matter-attributed timesheet → partner review at 6 PM → approved by 6:05 → in the billing system. The 30-40% leakage shows up on the bill.

Frequently asked questions
Is this ABA-compliant?
Yes. AI never gives substantive legal advice in writing — ABA Opinion 512 and Model Rule 5.3 are built into the escalation patterns. Routine client questions (status, deadlines, document receipt) answered in your voice; anything substantive (case strategy, advice, opinions) escalates to the responsible attorney with full context. Every AI action is logged with HMAC-signed audit trail.
Will it actually catch every USPTO deadline?
Yes — that's the core value prop. Section 8/9 windows, PCT 30-month national-phase, I-140 priority dates, ITC docket dates, FCC windows are all tracked off the matter's effective date. 30/14/7-day proactive alerts. Plus reconciliation against USPTO PAIR / WIPO ePCT public data so we catch drift.
How accurate is the auto-timesheet?
Pilot data: 92-95% accuracy on partner timesheets. Calendar events + sent emails + matter mapping produce a draft; you review it in 5 minutes at end of day. Even a partner who currently bills 85% of hours typically captures another 15-20% with this approach — at $500/hr, that's ~$100K/yr per partner.
What about client confidentiality?
Per-client knowledge bases isolated; cross-matter context never leaks. Audit logging for every retrieval. We can run on a customer-private model (Anthropic / OpenAI) for highly sensitive matters; talk to sales about VPC / dedicated-tenant deployment for AmLaw 100 firms.
How fast is onboarding?
IP/corporate firms typically need 2 weeks: matter management connect (week 1) + matter import + brand-voice training + shadow-mode review of AI drafts (week 2). The legal-IP pilot (JAS Law) was operational in 11 days.
