An AI receptionist built for Australian law firms
For a law firm, the first phone call is the moment a matter is won or lost. Prospective clients ring two or three firms and engage the one that answers, listens and books a consultation. Meanwhile your team is in conference, at court or on another call. Voxworks answers every call in a natural Australian voice, captures the matter details that determine whether it's a fit, runs conflict-check questions you define, and books consultations straight into your practitioners' calendars.
Unanswered phones are unbilled matters
Research cited by BIA/Kelsey shows around 62% of calls to small businesses go unanswered, and roughly 80% of callers who reach voicemail hang up without leaving a message. For legal practices the economics are stark: a single family law or personal injury matter can be worth tens of thousands of dollars in fees, and studies suggest 78% of customers engage the first business that responds. Answering first isn't a courtesy — it's client acquisition.
After-hours coverage matters more in law than almost any industry. People search for lawyers after the event that triggered the need — an arrest, an accident, a separation, a contract dispute discovered at the kitchen table. Voxworks answers at 11pm with the same composure as 11am, captures the matter and books the first available consultation.
Intake that respects legal practice
Voxworks follows your intake script: practice area, opposing party names for conflict screening, urgency, jurisdiction and how the caller found you. It never gives legal advice — anything substantive is escalated by warm transfer or booked with the right practitioner. Existing-client calls are routed by matter or fee earner, and every conversation produces a structured summary with a transcript your practice management workflow can file.
- New-client intake with practice-area routing and conflict-check questions
- Consultation bookings synced to practitioner calendars
- Urgent-matter escalation rules you control
- Full transcripts and structured summaries for every call — a clean intake record
Confidentiality and Australian data sovereignty
Client communications are privileged, and where they're processed matters. Voxworks runs on Australian-hosted infrastructure, so call data stays onshore, and operates in line with the Privacy Act and Australian Privacy Principles. Calls are recorded with appropriate consent and access-controlled — a stronger confidentiality posture than offshore call centres or US-hosted AI tools.
The cost case against a traditional legal answering service
Legal answering bureaus charge per call, work limited hours and hand you a message slip. A full-time receptionist costs $45,000–$65,000 a year plus on-costs. Voxworks starts at $49 per month with a 14-day free trial and no setup fee, answers concurrent calls so your line never rings engaged, and books consultations instead of taking messages.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The intake flow can capture the details needed for a conflict check and avoid overcommitting before the matter is reviewed.
Yes. You can route enquiries by family, property, litigation, employment, or any other matter type you need.
Yes. The tone can be configured to be calm, discreet, and professional.
Yes. Consultation booking is part of the call flow.
Yes. Urgent matters can be prioritised and handed off to the right human process.
No — that boundary is built into the call flow. The receptionist captures the matter type, the parties involved and the urgency, answers practical questions like office hours and what to bring, and books a consultation. Anything substantive is referred to a practitioner, so the firm's professional obligations stay intact.
Yes, and that's when many of the most valuable enquiries arrive — people often look for a lawyer in the evening, after the event that prompted the search. Voxworks runs the same structured intake at midnight as at midday, books the first available consultation, and has the summary waiting when the firm opens.
Caller information is treated as sensitively as the matters it relates to. Calls are processed on Australian-hosted infrastructure so nothing leaves the country, recordings are made with appropriate consent, access is controlled, and handling aligns with the Privacy Act — a stronger posture than offshore call centres or US-hosted tools.
Legal answering bureaus charge per call — typically $2–$3 — for staffed-hours message-taking, while a full-time receptionist runs $45,000–$65,000 a year. Voxworks plans start at $49 a month and scale through $149, $349 and $999, with a 14-day free trial and no setup fee — and they cover round-the-clock intake rather than message slips.
Yes. Many firms set a conditional diversion so reception answers first and the AI only catches engaged lines, unanswered rings and after-hours calls. The firm's published number doesn't change, and you can widen or narrow the AI's share of calls whenever staffing changes.
Every call produces a full transcript and a structured summary — caller details, matter type, opposing parties noted for conflict checking, urgency and the agreed next step — ready to file against tools like LEAP, Actionstep, Smokeball, Clio and FilePro. Intake decisions get made on a complete record, not a scribbled note.
