About

The Challenge

A boutique law firm ran on the founding attorney's attention: intake, client follow-up, scheduling, and document prep all routed through one person. Work was high-quality but the bottleneck was obvious, and hiring an operations lead wasn't the right first move.

"The goal was never to replace anyone. It was to give a lean firm the operating rhythm of a much larger one."

  • Workflow and inbox audit
  • Stakeholder interviews
  • Prioritized automation candidates
Phase 2

Enablement

Designed the Chief of Staff system around existing tools and habits.
  • Intake and follow-up automation
  • Meeting prep and summary flows
  • Human review at every decision point

Result

An AI Chief of Staff, Built Around Existing Workflows

RezumeAI mapped the attorney's daily operating rhythm — intake, triage, follow-up, prep — and built an AI Chief of Staff system on top of the tools the firm already used. The system drafts, summarizes, schedules, and nudges; the attorney reviews and decides.

The firm kept its judgment where it belonged and offloaded the coordination load, gaining back time for client work and business development.
