For law firms

Never miss another potential client.

24/7 AI receptionists for Australian law firms.

When your lawyers are in court, in client meetings or out of the office, XR Media answers every call. It gathers enquiry details, books consultations, routes urgent matters and records every interaction. Based in Adelaide, serving law firms across South Australia and Australia.

The problem

Every unanswered call could be a retained matter.

Legal practices are built on responsiveness and trust. When a potential client cannot reach you, they do not wait — they call the next firm on the list.

Lawyers are in court or with clients

When a solicitor is in court, mediation or a confidential client meeting, the phone is left unanswered. The caller does not know that, and they rarely leave a voicemail.

Phones ring during consultations

A focused client meeting is interrupted by a ringing line. The call goes to voicemail, and the person on the other end may already be dialling the next firm.

After-hours and weekend enquiries

Legal issues do not follow business hours. A person in distress often searches for help at night or on Sunday. If your firm is not reachable, they move on.

Time-sensitive new matters

A potential client with a deadline, a contract issue or an urgent dispute calls once. The firm that responds first is usually the one they retain.

In law, first impressions are lasting. A caller who is met with professionalism and efficiency is more likely to trust your firm with their matter. A caller who reaches voicemail may never call back.

The fix

From enquiry to booked consultation

Your receptionist is configured around your firm: practice areas, lawyers, consultation types and the professional tone your clients expect.

01

Answered without delay

Every caller is greeted professionally, whether your receptionist is on another line, at lunch or the office is closed for the day.

No voicemail, no missed opportunity
02

Enquiry details captured

It collects the caller's name, contact information, practice area and a brief outline of the matter, just as a trained intake assistant would.

Practice-area routing and urgency triage
03

Booked or transferred

Initial consultations are scheduled into your calendar, confirmations are sent by SMS, and urgent matters are escalated to the right lawyer or staff member.

How a new matter is captured after hours

A realistic scenario showing what the caller, the AI and your firm experience from first ring to booked consultation.

01

A potential client calls after hours

A person with a commercial dispute searches online, finds your firm and calls at 7:30pm when reception has left for the day.

02

The call is answered immediately

Instead of voicemail, the caller is greeted by your receptionist and asked how the firm can help.

03

Contact details and matter type are collected

The caller's name, number, email and a brief description of the legal issue are gathered clearly and respectfully.

04

The matter is routed correctly

Based on the practice area, the enquiry is directed to the right solicitor or booked into the right consultation type.

05

A consultation is booked

Available appointment slots are offered, a time is confirmed, and the calendar is updated without anyone lifting the phone.

06

The firm receives the enquiry

The solicitor gets the booking, the caller's details and a full transcript, ready to prepare before the first meeting.

Benefits for law firms

What changes when every call is handled professionally

The outcomes that matter most to a legal practice: more retained matters, fewer distractions and a stronger first impression.

Capture every new enquiry

A single missed call can represent a matter that runs for months or years. Make sure every prospective client reaches your firm first.

Never lose clients to voicemail

People facing legal issues rarely leave detailed voicemails. They call the next firm. Immediate answering removes that risk.

Reduce interruptions

Your lawyers and support staff can stay focused on the work that matters while routine intake calls are handled in the background.

Improve first impressions

Every caller is met with a calm, professional voice and a consistent process that reflects the standards of your practice.

Handle after-hours enquiries

Weekend and evening callers are captured, qualified and booked into your calendar before your team arrives the next morning.

Free reception for higher-value work

Your front desk can focus on document preparation, client care and billing while the AI handles repetitive intake calls.

Frequently asked questions

Law-firm specific questions

Practical answers about how the AI receptionist handles legal intake and client enquiries.

Can it book consultations for our law firm?
Yes. It connects to your calendar and offers real availability for initial consultations, based on lawyer, practice area and duration rules you set.
Can it identify different legal matters?
Yes. The intake flow is configured around your practice areas. It collects enough detail to route commercial, family, property, criminal or litigation enquiries to the right person.
Can urgent calls be transferred to a lawyer?
Yes. When a matter is time-sensitive, the call can be transferred to the nominated solicitor or staff member. If nobody is available, it takes a detailed message and sends it immediately.
Can it answer calls after hours?
Yes. It operates 24/7, so weekend and evening enquiries are captured, qualified and booked instead of being lost until the next business day.
Can it work with our practice management system?
Yes. Many practice management and calendar platforms — including Google Calendar, Outlook and iCal — offer APIs or other integration methods, so enquiries, client details, bookings and call information can be passed into your existing workflow. Supported systems are connected through custom integrations and automation, with the exact setup depending on the platform and what you want the receptionist to do. More advanced integrations are included where appropriate in higher-tier or custom deployments.
Can every enquiry be recorded?
Yes. Every call produces a transcript and a structured summary that can be reviewed by your team, added to a file note or used for conflict checking.
Will it sound like our firm?
Every deployment is trained on your firm name, tone, practice areas and intake requirements. It is professional, measured and never pretends to be a specific staff member.
Do we need to change our phone number?
No. Your existing number is forwarded, either all the time or only when the line is busy, unanswered or after hours.
How long until it is live?
Once we have received everything we need from you — required business information, approvals, access and integrations — you are live and answering calls within 7 business days. If we miss that deadline, your first month is free. We configure your practice areas, intake questions, calendar rules and escalation contacts, then test everything with you before taking real calls.
