AI consulting for law firms, with the work shown first.
ColabContent is a Boston AI consulting house that builds custom systems for law firms of 10 to 150 attorneys. Start with the $499 AI-Ready Audit, which names the system worth building, or get your firm's cost benchmark memo by email in 2 minutes. After the audit, a principal builds a working prototype on your own data in 7 to 10 days, before any build fee. Custom builds are one fixed fee starting at $10,000, with the code owned by the firm at handoff.
Start with the audit. Neither option puts you on a sales call.
What a law firm prototype usually is.
This section sets expectations before the request form: the prototype is built around a task you name, not a generic demo. Below are the four tasks that firms between 10 and 150 attorneys ask for most often, laid out so you can see the shape of what typically arrives.
You name the task. These are the four that firms of 10 to 150 attorneys ask for most, so you can see the shape of what arrives.
Intake triage and conflict check draft
A new inquiry comes in by email or web form. The prototype reads it, extracts the parties and matter type, runs the names against a fictitious client list, and drafts the conflict memo and engagement letter for a human to approve.
Docket date extraction
Every stated date buried inside a docket, pulled into a dated ledger with the source entry cited on each row. Built for a litigation firm from a public federal docket, so you can check every line against the record.
Time entry cleanup
Raw calendar, email and document activity turned into draft time entries in the firm's narrative style, flagged where the entry looks unbillable, for the partner to accept or edit at the end of the day.
First-draft summaries
Deposition transcripts, medical records or discovery productions summarized to the firm's template, with page citations, so associates start from a draft instead of a blank page.
Proof you can check without us in the room.
This section backs the claim with numbers a firm can verify independently rather than take on faith: across every voice system commissioned to date, more than 6,000 live calls have been handled, and one of those client firms is nameable and reachable for a reference conversation.
Across every voice system we have commissioned, more than 6,000 live calls have been handled. One of those firms is nameable.
Jim Glaser Law, Massachusetts
A firm running five channel-specific voice agents we commissioned, one each for paid search, organic, television, Meta, and local services ads, which gives the firm per-channel attribution on every inbound call.
A standing reference call
The firm's principal takes reference calls. The introduction is a standing offer to any firm that asks for it on the audit call, so the questions go to him rather than to us.
How the engagement runs
The $499 AI-Ready Audit names the system worth building, then a prototype on the firm's own data within 7 to 10 days under NDA (a signed non-disclosure agreement), then one fixed fee for the build, quoted after the prototype performs, inside the firm's own cloud tenant (a private cloud account). The firm owns the code, prompts and runbook (the written operating instructions) at handoff. No per-seat fee, ever.
The questions firms ask first.
These are the questions that come up before any engagement starts, collected from audit calls and written down here so they can be answered once. Each answer is the one we give on the call, and each is checked against your own numbers in the $499 AI-Ready Audit report.
What does an AI consultant for law firms cost?
ColabContent starts with a $499 AI-Ready Audit that names the highest-value system to build for the firm. If a custom build follows, it is one fixed fee starting at $10,000, quoted after a working prototype, with no hourly meter, no per-seat license and no ongoing platform fee; the firm owns the code at handoff. Based on published consultancy rate cards reviewed in September 2026, independent consultants typically charge an estimated $150 to $500 per hour and mid-tier firms an estimated $300 to $1,000 per hour for comparable work.
What happens after the audit?
After the audit names the system worth building, a principal builds a working prototype of it on the firm's own data in 7 to 10 days, before any build fee. Past prototypes have covered intake triage, engagement letter drafting, docket date extraction and time entry cleanup, on the firm's own data with no NDA (a signed non-disclosure agreement) required to see the result.
What is in the cost benchmark memo?
The memo takes six numbers you type in (billing partners, partner rate, partner hours per week lost to admin, new matters per month, average matter value and the share of prospects lost to slow intake) and returns the annual dollar leak on each line and the total. It is emailed within about a minute of submitting the form.
What if the prototype doesn't perform?
You owe nothing for the build and keep the prototype.
Who owns the code at handoff?
The firm owns the code and data pipeline at handoff, with no per-seat fee.
How long does this take?
The memo arrives in about a minute; a build ships in 4 to 6 weeks.
What is expected of us?
Six numbers for the memo; for a build, an NDA and a data sample.
Will this replace our staff?
No. Each prototype targets one task; your team keeps the judgment calls.
Does ordering the audit or the memo put us on a sales call?
No. Both the audit and the memo are delivered without a sales call. Rather ask a question first? Send it from the homepage form and a principal replies personally.
Rather just ask?
Send a question from the homepage form and a principal replies. Or start with the audit and get a ranked list back the same day.
