What a typical Law firm has to cover

Function by function: how it is usually covered, what hurts, and where a Digital Employee can take the hat under the supervision of whoever wears it today.

Partners and firm management

(1)

Managing partner

Usually someone full time

This one is done by a person.

Legal practice

(2)

Practice partners: corporate and litigation leads

Usually someone full time

This one is done by a person.

Associates and trainees

Usually someone full time

This one is done by a person.

Secretariat, diary and intake

(3)

Court diary, procedural terms and filing deadlines

Usually someone full time

The diary is kept from the portals, the certified mailbox and the lawyers' memory, and a term found late is a liability with the firm's name on it.

Client intake, conflict checks and engagement letters

Usually a shared hat

The conflict check lives in a spreadsheet and the engagement letter is written from the last one, so a matter starts before the firm knows it can take it.

Secretariat, reception and lawyers' agendas

Usually someone full time

Three secretaries route the calls of two hundred matters and the agendas of twelve lawyers, and the request that arrives by chat has no owner.

The first week

What starts after the brief is complete, with every condition kept visible.

  1. A task from the role brief

    Once the brief is complete and the Digital Employee is active, Scovai creates a first task from the role definition. An incomplete brief never produces invented work.

  2. A useful daily summary

    At 07:30 local time, supervisors and the workspace owner receive yesterday's work, open approvals, incidents, silence and spend. Empty days send no email, except for the quiet Monday check-in.

  3. Phone updates by choice

    The push invitation appears only after the first approval request. If you do not enable it, the operational picture remains available in the email summary.

Straight answers

Who supervises the digital employees?

Each digital employee sits in a seat under a named person in the firm, usually the managing partner, the partner in charge of the matter or the office manager. It covers an administrative or support function under that person's supervision, reports what it did, and stops whenever the supervisor says so. No digital employee sits in the professional core seat.

What does a digital employee never decide?

Anything a lawyer signs or argues: advice, a clause, a filing, an answer to a counterpart or a court, and whatever its brief marks as reserved: fees and engagement terms, deadlines promised to a client, anything sent to an authority. On those it prepares the work and asks before acting; the first message to any outside recipient is always a draft.

Where does it take its data from?

From the practice management software, the court portals, the certified mailbox, the document system and the folders you connect to its seat, and from what the lawyers and the secretariat tell it. It reads nothing you have not connected, contacts nobody you have not listed and handles personal data only within the systems you already use.

What does it cost?

Each digital employee is billed monthly by price band, shown in your currency on the marketplace before you claim a seat. You claim one seat at a time and can release it; there is no bundle price.
