For small firms
Take on more matters without hiring
Your bottleneck isn’t demand — it’s capacity. Every lawyer in the firm is already at their limit, and the next hire is a fixed cost you can’t justify yet. Miss Lucy adds capacity instead: a tireless junior for each of your lawyers, roughly ten hours of output for every hour in.
Your day right now
- Good briefs walk in and you turn some away — there simply aren’t enough billable hours on the team to take them.
- Research and first drafts eat the days of your senior lawyers, the people whose judgement you’re actually paying for.
- Another hire means months of cost before they’re productive, and the matter volume to justify it isn’t steady yet.
- Work scatters across the team — when someone’s out or a matter changes hands, context is reconstructed from memory.
What changes
- Each lawyer gets their own Miss Lucy — a junior that researches, drafts and checks citations, so the team’s ceiling rises without adding headcount.
- Seniors stop spending their day on first drafts and case-law hunts and move to review and strategy, where their hours are worth most.
- You can say yes to the brief you’d have turned away — the marginal matter now fits inside the team you already have.
- Every citation is verified against the reporters before it reaches a draft, so no lawyer ships a fabricated cite under the firm’s name.
More matters, same team
| What you do | Today | With Miss Lucy |
|---|---|---|
| Taking on a new matter | Turned away when the team is at capacity | Accepted — intake and triage drafted in minutes |
| Researching a point of law | Hours of a senior lawyer’s billable day | Minutes — doctrine-first, freeing seniors to review |
| First drafts of notices and pleadings | One lawyer, one draft at a time | A reviewable draft per lawyer, in minutes |
| Checking citations | Manual, and only as careful as the day allows | Verified against the reporters before it lands |
The cheapest way to grow a small firm isn’t another salary — it’s more output per lawyer you already have. That’s the matter you stop turning away.
