Meridian Law Partners

Built an intake-and-scheduling layer that screens consultation requests against case criteria automatically, before they reach a partner’s calendar.

The challenge

Partners were fielding consultation requests directly, many of which didn’t meet the firm’s case criteria — an expensive use of senior time.

The solution

An AI intake system now screens every inquiry against case type, jurisdiction, and conflict criteria before it reaches a partner’s calendar.
