Key Challenge
Struggling with inefficient manual follow-up processes that were slowing growth and increasing operational costs. Their primary concern was contract review accuracy.

The Challenge
This corporate law firm had reached a breaking point with their manual follow-up process. With 10-50 attorneys managing daily legal operations, the team was spending an average of 25+ hours per week on repetitive follow-up tasks that added no strategic value. The workload was unsustainable, and errors were becoming more frequent as volume grew.
The consequences extended beyond wasted time. In their legal business, delayed follow-up created a cascade of downstream problems — missed deadlines, frustrated stakeholders, and data quality issues that undermined decision-making. The team had tried hiring additional staff, but the cost was prohibitive and training new employees on their complex legal processes took months. They needed a solution that could handle their current volume and scale with their growth, without requiring a proportional increase in headcount.
The Solution
The team selected Arahi AI to automate their legal follow-up workflow end-to-end. Implementation began with connecting their core tools — Clio, Google Drive, and Gmail — to the Arahi AI platform. Using the no-code builder, they configured AI agents that replicate their best-performing team member's decision-making process, but at machine speed and consistency.
The AI agents handle every step of the follow-up process: receiving incoming requests or triggers, analyzing the context using legal-specific rules, making intelligent routing decisions, executing the core actions, and notifying the right stakeholders. What previously required 45+ minutes of manual work per instance now completes automatically in under 2 minutes. The agents also learn from corrections, continuously improving their accuracy. The team connected Slack for tracking and reporting, giving leadership real-time visibility into follow-up performance metrics for the first time.

“What impressed me most was the setup speed. I expected a months-long implementation, but we had AI agents handling our legal follow-up workflow within a single afternoon. The no-code approach meant our team could configure everything themselves without waiting on IT.”

Key Takeaways
The most important lessons from this legal follow-up automation project.
This legal team proved that follow-up automation doesn't require technical expertise — the no-code platform made it accessible to business users.
Scaling follow-up capacity by 10x without adding headcount fundamentally changed the economics of their legal operations.
Consistent AI-powered processing eliminated the quality variance that came with different team members handling follow-up differently.
Real-time visibility into follow-up metrics gave leadership the data they needed to make better strategic decisions.
Implementation Timeline
From zero to production in 3 hours — here's how they did it.
Step 1: Connected legal tools to Arahi AI
Integrated Clio, LawPay, and DocuSign with Arahi AI using pre-built connectors — no API keys or custom code required. The team verified data flow between systems in under 15 minutes.
Step 2: Configured AI agent business rules
Defined the legal-specific rules for follow-up: scoring criteria, routing logic, escalation thresholds, and exception handling. The team used Arahi AI's visual rule builder to translate their existing process into automated workflows.
Step 3: Tested with live legal data
Ran the AI agents on a week's worth of historical follow-up data to validate accuracy and identify edge cases. Made minor adjustments to scoring weights and routing rules based on the results.
Step 4: Launched and monitored
Deployed the AI agents to production with the entire team notified via Slack. Monitored the first 48 hours closely, confirming 99%+ accuracy before reducing oversight to weekly reviews.
