AI agent for legal operations managers
Legal Matter Intake Routing Agent
Every legal request reaches the right specialist with what they need.
What it does
Legal requests often arrive incomplete and land with the wrong specialist, which wastes days. When a request is submitted, this agent first checks for a potential conflict flag. If one is set, routing stops and the request goes to designated conflict review. Otherwise it checks the required fields, such as the business unit, counterparty, deadline and documents. For gaps it drafts specific clarification questions. It keeps any sensitivity flags intact and proposes a specialist queue from the routing matrix. Legal ops confirms the routing. The agent never gives legal advice. Edge case: an employment question names a counterparty that is also a current client, so the conflict flag sends it to review first.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
