How Clerx Helps Law Firms Scale Without Adding Overhead

The AI Intake Solution Built to Grow Your Practice, Not Your Payroll

Why Most Law Firms Struggle to Grow

Growing your legal practice should mean more revenue—but for most firms, it just means higher costs. More clients often require more staff, more office space, and more time spent on non-billable work.

Hiring a full-time receptionist can cost over $60,000/year with salary, benefits, and training. And they still can’t work nights, weekends, or handle multiple calls at once.

In 2025, that growth model just doesn’t scale.

Clerx Changes the Equation

Clerx is the AI receptionist built for modern law firms. It helps you handle more calls, qualify more leads, and book more consultations—without adding headcount or overhead.

With 24/7 availability, multilingual support, and legal-specific workflows, Clerx works like a full-time intake team that never sleeps, takes breaks, or misses a call.

Mid-Size Practices

"Clerx’s 24/7 AI receptionist, Donna, has become the backbone of our front office. With over 4,000 calls a month, even our large admin team couldn’t keep up - but now Donna handles it all with ease. She speaks to clients like a pro in multiple languages, syncs perfectly with our CRM, and keeps every moving piece in order. As we grow, I know we won’t need to hire more staff - Donna scales with us. The Clerx team has been incredibly supportive, customizing Donna to fit our firm’s exact needs"
