Can AI give legal advice to my clients?

No. For UK legal practices, TAB agents handle admin and templated coordination only. Legal advice, regulated activities, and client commitments on matter strategy remain with authorised lawyers — the agent does not conduct reserved legal activities or provide legal guidance without lawyer oversight.

Is AI use allowed for UK solicitor firms?

For UK legal practices, many firms use AI for admin under their governance policies. TAB provides logging and human-in-the-loop controls; your COLP and COFA remain responsible for firm compliance — managed AI supports coordination, not a substitute for SRA accountability.

How much does legal practice AI cost?

For UK legal practices, TAB managed agents typically start from £299 per month including setup and UK hosting. Pricing reflects department count, matter volume, and approval workflows — firms often model value from fee-earner hours returned to billable matter work.

Will AI replace our practice management system?

No. For UK legal practices, Clio, LEAP, Proclaim, and similar practice management systems stay central. Managed AI works chasing and capture around matter records without replacing PMS workflows or lawyer ownership of files and advice.

Is client data stored in the UK?

Yes. For UK legal practices, standard TAB deployments use UK-sovereign infrastructure for client matter admin and communication data — supporting firms that need UK residency for operational records rather than US consumer AI clouds.

Can AI file documents with the court?

No. For UK legal practices, court filing and reserved legal activities stay with qualified staff. Managed AI may remind teams of deadlines and chase missing information — it does not file documents with the court or conduct reserved activities on your behalf without qualified staff approval.

/01 — AI for UK solicitor practices and legal teams

Return fee-earners to Billable Work

The Agent Bureau provides managed AI agents for UK solicitor practices and legal teams. TAB's legal admin agents handle new enquiry capture, client onboarding document chase, court deadline reminders, and matter update drafts on UK-sovereign infrastructure with governance logging. Practices typically reclaim 10–15 hours per fee-earner per month on coordination work (based on TAB workflow mapping). TAB does not provide legal advice or conduct reserved legal activities.

Typical coordination time returned per fee-earner monthly: 10–15 hrs
AI touchpoints for matter file review: Logged
Managed agent incl. setup and UK hosting: From £299/mo

/02Coordination drain

Intake when fee-earners are In Court

Practice management systems store matters — they do not politely chase a buyer's lender for the third time this week.

01The Real Question

Who captures the new enquiry while the conveyancer is on completion day?

Repeatable coordination with explicit boundaries.

/04The comparison

Fee-earner chasing versus Managed Legal Admin AI

The same missing lender document. The difference is staged chase with logs — or another hour lost from billable work. Managed AI typically starts from £299 per month.
