Lead Generation for Solicitors, Without the Cold-Calling
An AI agent that answers every enquiry your firm receives within minutes, captures the matter type and urgency, screens for conflicts and keeps following up — so the client instructs you, not the firm down the road.
For an Irish law firm, lead generation is really enquiry response. Conveyancing, probate, family law and personal injury enquiries arrive by web form, phone and referral, and the firm that replies first with a clear word on process and cost is usually the one instructed. Our AI agent replies in minutes. It never cold-calls and never gives legal advice.

The Caller Rings Three Firms. The First to Answer Gets Instructed.
Someone whose sale has just been agreed, or whose father has died leaving a house in his name, does not shop around the way a retail customer does. They ring or email two or three firms, and they instruct whichever one comes back first with a plain answer on how long it takes, what happens next and roughly what it costs. Being the second call returned rarely means being the second choice — it usually means no instruction at all.
The timing makes it worse. A road traffic accident happens on a Friday night. A separation reaches its breaking point over a bank holiday. A bidder's offer is accepted on a Saturday afternoon. The enquiry lands when the office is dark, and by Monday it has been answered by someone else. With matter values in Irish conveyancing and probate running into thousands per file, a handful of missed enquiries a month is a serious line in the accounts.
Then there is the back book. Firms sit on years of past clients who bought a house, took a case or made a will — people who would come straight back for a second house move, a probate or an updated will if the firm had kept in touch. Nobody has the time. That is what our Leads Outreach agent was built to fix: work that is entirely responsive and entirely consent-based, done properly and done fast.
Client Acquisition for Law Firms That Respects the Rules
Six things the agent does for a practice, from first enquiry to signed instruction.
Answered in Minutes, Any Hour
Web form, email or missed call, at 9pm on a Sunday or midweek in the middle of a court list — the enquirer gets a proper reply within minutes instead of a voicemail beep.
Matter Type and Urgency Captured
Conveyancing, probate, family law, employment or personal injury — the agent asks the right follow-up questions for each and flags anything time-critical, such as a limitation date approaching.
First-Pass Conflict Check
Names of the other parties, the property or the estate are captured and screened against your existing matters before an appointment is confirmed. Possible matches go to a solicitor, not to a diary slot.
Follow-Up Until They Decide
Most enquirers go quiet after the first exchange while they think it over or wait on a bank. The agent follows up on a set sequence until they either instruct your firm or say no — and then it stops.
Past Clients Reactivated
Your own former clients, contacted only where you hold marketing consent, about the things they genuinely need next: a will after a house purchase, probate advice, a second move. Opt-outs are honoured instantly.
Never Legal Advice
The agent gathers facts, explains your process and books the consultation. It does not opine on prospects, quantum or strategy. Every question that edges towards advice is routed to a solicitor.
Live in Days, Around Your Practice
We Map Your Matter Types
A short call to agree which work you want more of, the questions you ask at intake, your fee-quoting wording and which enquiries must reach a solicitor immediately.
We Connect Your Enquiry Sources
Website forms, the general office inbox, Google enquiries and referral emails feed the agent. Your case management system stays as it is — nothing for the team to learn.
Every Enquiry Worked, Logged and Reported
The agent responds, qualifies, screens and books, and every conversation is written back to you in full. Most firms are live within days of the first call.
Lead Generation for Solicitors Inside the Law Society's Advertising Rules
Responsive, consent-based and documented. Nothing that resembles chasing an ambulance.
Irish solicitors do not get to market themselves the way a double-glazing firm does. The Solicitors Acts and the advertising regulations made under them, together with Law Society of Ireland guidance, restrict how a practice may solicit work — and they are at their strictest around claims work, where unsolicited approaches to people who may have been injured are simply not on. Any AI system sold to a law firm has to start from that constraint rather than bolt compliance on afterwards.
So here is the line we hold. The agent only ever engages with someone who has contacted your firm first — a form submitted, an email sent, a call placed. It does not buy accident lists, it does not scrape court records or Injuries Resolution Board filings, it does not ring people after an incident, and it makes no approach to anyone your firm has no prior relationship with. If your practice does personal injury work, the agent's job is to answer the person who chose to ring you, not to find them.
Reactivating past clients runs on the same principle. The agent works from your own records, contacts former clients only where you hold a lawful basis and valid marketing consent under GDPR and the ePrivacy Regulations, keeps the message to genuinely useful reminders — a will after a house purchase, a review after a change in circumstances — and records every contact and every opt-out so your file would satisfy the Data Protection Commission. Anything a solicitor would not sign off on, the agent does not send.
Two further boundaries matter. The agent never gives legal advice: it takes the facts, describes your process, quotes only from wording your firm has approved, and hands anything substantive to a solicitor. And it never confirms an engagement without a first-pass conflict screen, so a name that already sits on the other side of a live file is flagged before a client relationship starts rather than after. Practices that also want the phones covered on the same terms should look at our AI receptionist for solicitors; for the wider background, our guide to AI automation for Irish solicitors covers where firms are seeing real returns.
What the Agent Does — and What It Never Does
| The situation | What the agent does | What it never does |
|---|---|---|
| A form or email arrives from a new enquirer | Replies within minutes, captures the matter type and urgency, books the consultation | Approach anyone who has not contacted your firm first |
| A personal injury enquiry comes in | Asks about dates and whether the Injuries Resolution Board is already involved | Buy accident lists, scrape court or Injuries Resolution Board filings, or ring people after an incident |
| The enquirer asks whether they have a case | Takes the facts, describes your process, hands the question to a solicitor | Opine on prospects, quantum or strategy |
| A past client may need a will or a second move | Contacts them only from your own records, only where you hold a lawful basis and valid marketing consent | Contact anyone who has opted out, or anyone outside your client records |
| An appointment is about to be confirmed | Screens the other parties, property or estate against your existing matters and flags possible matches | Confirm an engagement before a first-pass conflict screen |
| The enquirer goes quiet | Follows up on a set sequence until they instruct or decline | Keep chasing once someone has said no |
Marketing Agency, Extra Receptionist, or an AI Agent?
Three ways Irish firms try to win more instructions, and where each one actually helps.
| Comparison | Legal Marketing Agency | AgentHub AI Agent |
|---|---|---|
| What it changes | How many enquiries arrive | How many enquiries convert to instructions |
| Reply to a Sunday enquiry | Monday morning, by your staff | Within minutes, automatically |
| Conflict screening | Not their remit | First-pass check before any booking |
| Past-client reactivation | Newsletter campaigns | Individual, consent-based follow-up |
| Cost as enquiries grow | Bigger retainer or more staff | Same flat monthly fee |
| Contract | Commonly 6-12 month terms | Cancel anytime |
In fairness to the marketing agencies: if nobody knows your firm exists, better search visibility and a working website are the right first spend. But most established practices already receive enough enquiries — they lose them in the gap between the enquiry arriving and someone free to answer it. Closing that gap is faster to do and easier to measure. If you want the general picture rather than the legal one, see how we compare with lead generation companies in Ireland, or read about B2B lead generation if your firm's growth comes mainly from commercial clients and panel work.
What Our Clients Say
Conveyancing enquiries that used to sit in the general inbox until Monday now get a reply the same evening. We are picking up sale-agreed files we would simply have lost before.
What sold us was the conflict screen and the fact it refuses to give advice. It gathers the facts, books the consultation, and the solicitor still does the solicitor's job.

Questions Irish Solicitors Ask Us
Is AI lead generation allowed under the Law Society's advertising rules?
The rules restrict how Irish solicitors may solicit work, and unsolicited approaches to people about personal injury claims are off the table. Our agent only replies to people who have already contacted your firm, and only markets to past clients who gave consent. No cold calls, ever.
Does the AI give legal advice to enquirers?
No. It captures the matter type, urgency and contact details, explains your process and fee structure in wording your firm has approved, and books the consultation. Anything that edges towards advice is handed to a solicitor. That boundary is written into the agent and tested before it goes live.
How does the conflict-of-interest check work?
The agent asks for the names of the other parties and the property or estate involved, then screens them against your existing matter list before any appointment is confirmed. Possible matches are flagged for a solicitor. It is a first-pass screen that feeds your own conflict procedure, not a replacement for it.
What happens to enquiries that arrive at night or at the weekend?
They get answered. A road traffic accident on a Friday night, a sale agreed on a Saturday, a family law crisis on a bank holiday — these rarely wait until Monday. The agent responds within minutes at any hour and books the first available consultation slot.
Can we contact past clients about a will or a house move?
Yes, where you hold a lawful basis and valid marketing consent under GDPR and the ePrivacy Regulations. The agent works only from your own client records, honours every opt-out immediately and logs each contact, so your file stands up if the Data Protection Commission ever asks.
Does it suit conveyancing as well as litigation?
Yes. The agent routes by matter type, so a conveyancing enquiry is asked about the property, timeline and whether a sale is agreed, while a personal injury enquiry is asked about dates and whether the Injuries Resolution Board is already involved. Different questions, same fast reply.
