Too much non-billable time
Intake, conflict checks and time entry consume large amounts of non-billable time and push effective rates down.

AI digital employee solution for law firms and legal teams
A lawyer's time is the expensive part, yet a great deal of it goes into intake, first drafts, research and time entry. TotalClaw hands those standardizable steps to AI so lawyers can concentrate on judgment, negotiation and advocacy — AI output is always a draft, and professional judgment always stays with the lawyer.
Who it suits: Small and mid-size firms, solo practices, in-house legal
Industry pain points
Where the hours go in Law firms and legal
Drafting repeats itself
Common documents share a structure, so writing each one from scratch is both slow and prone to missing clauses.
Research is slow
Searching comparable cases and statutes by hand means hours spent just on the initial filtering.
Slow response to enquiries
At peak times enquiries go unanswered, first responses are slow, and leads are simply lost.
What the AI takes over
Hand this work to the AI team
| Task | How the AI handles it |
|---|---|
| Client intake | Structured logging of enquiry details, preliminary conflict information, and a generated checklist of intake materials. |
| First-draft documents | Complaints, defenses, letters and common agreements drafted from templates and case facts, then revised and finalized by the lawyer. |
| Contract and compliance review support | Flags risky and missing clauses against a review checklist and drafts a review memo. |
| Case and statute research | Collates key points from comparable cases and relevant statutory provisions with citations for verification. |
| Billable hour tracking | Work records consolidated into timesheets and draft invoices, reducing month-end reconstruction. |

FAQ
What Law firms and legal customers ask
Can AI-drafted documents be used as they are?
Not for external use. Every document and review memo is a draft that must be reviewed and finalized by a practising lawyer. TotalClaw's value is compressing drafting and research time, not replacing legal judgment.
Case material is confidential — how is it protected?
Local and private deployment are supported, so case material stays on the firm's own devices or intranet servers, and outbound network access can be switched off. The platform does not access, store or reuse it.
Can a solo practice afford it?
You can start on the free tier and run drafting and research scenarios first. The Pro edition targets teams of 1–3 and costs far less than hiring another assistant.
Is it useful for in-house legal?
Yes. Contract review support, compliance checklists and draft policy text apply equally in-house, and the Team edition supports working with business units and managing permissions.
