Operations and growth for law firms.

Compass AI Group helps Canadian law firms stop losing new matters at 7 p.m. and partner hours at 9 a.m. We map where intake, conflict checks and first reads lose time, fix the process, and add technology and AI only where it pays, within Law Society of Ontario standards.

About one in six Bearings Reports says: do nothing yet.

A 7 p.m. inquiry, with the fix
A prospective client calls a sample law firm at 7:04 PM. With the fix, the call is answered and logged, the names are pre-filled into the conflict check queue, and a summary with a booked callback is in the inbox by 8 AM.

FIG. 00A sample firm, not a client’s. In gold, what the fix changes: after-hours intake answered and logged, the conflict check pre-filled. No legal advice is given; the lawyer decides.

S.01Where time leaks

The bottlenecks we see in law firms.

  1. 01

    The 7 p.m. inquiry goes to voicemail

    A prospective client calls after hours and reaches a recording. By the time someone calls back the next morning, they have already retained the firm that answered.

  2. 02

    Intake and conflict checks by hand

    Every new matter needs a conflict check. Doing it thoroughly is slow. Doing it fast is a risk. Either way a paralegal spends the afternoon on it.

  3. 03

    First reads that eat partner time

    Contracts, disclosures, and document bundles pile up. The first read is repetitive, and it is done by the most expensive person in the building.

S.02What we fix first

The fixes that usually come first.

Every engagement starts with the Bearings Report, so the first fix is the one with the clearest payback, not the newest tool.

  1. 01

    Map intake from first call to opened file

    A Bearings Report times every step from the phone ringing to the retainer signed, puts a dollar figure on the matters lost after hours, and ranks what to fix first. Sometimes the answer is a better process, not AI at all.

  2. 02

    After-hours intake that reaches a person by morning

    An AI receptionist answers the line, captures the matter type and contact details, flags names for your conflict review, and books a morning callback. It gives no legal advice, creates no retainer, and logs every call.

  3. 03

    A first-read summary with clause citations

    Contracts you receive are summarized, clauses that depart from your precedents are flagged, and the source clause is cited each time. The lawyer decides. The workflow points.

  4. 04

    A site the firm can edit and prospects trust

    A custom website on the firm’s own design language, staff-editable content, practice-area pages that rank, and an inquiry form that reaches the right person reliably.

S.03What we measure

What changes when it works.

Potential, not a promise. We set your baseline before anything is built, then measure the same things after, in writing.

Every call
After-hours inquiries captured and logged, counted against the calls that used to reach voicemail.
First-read time
Minutes spent on the first pass of each contract, with every flagged clause cited for the lawyer.
On record
Every automated step logged, so the firm can show its work if asked.
