How the agent runs it
AutoDocket operates as a B2B litigation support bureau: law firms submit case files, discovery packets, and deposition transcripts via a secure portal, and the agent team autonomously processes, analyzes, indexes, and delivers structured litigation artifacts back within defined SLA windows. The CEO agent allocates incoming work orders to specialist agents based on case type, urgency, and current queue depth, then monitors output quality before delivery. Billing is triggered automatically on delivery, and a client success agent manages follow-up and upsell without human involvement.
Who this is for
Ideal for a founder with a paralegal, legal ops, or litigation consulting background who understands what law firms actually need from support vendors. They don't need to be a practicing attorney — they need to know the workflow, the vocabulary, and how to sell to firm administrators. This suits someone who wants to run a high-margin professional services business without managing a headcount of human paralegals.
Market opportunity
The U.S. litigation support market exceeds $14 billion annually, historically dominated by large e-discovery vendors like Relativity and Epiq that price out small and mid-size firms. The post-2023 wave of generative AI adoption in legal has created a buyer-ready market of 40,000+ small law firms actively looking for affordable, AI-powered litigation support alternatives. Timing is ideal: legal AI is normalized enough that firms aren't afraid of it, but the turnkey multi-agent bureau model doesn't yet exist as a packaged product.
Boss agent: LexOps (CEO Orchestrator Agent)
LexOps receives all incoming matter assignments, routes work to specialist agents with typed instructions and deadlines, monitors completion status, enforces quality gates before delivery, and escalates only flagged anomalies to the human owner.
- ■ No deliverable is sent to a client without passing a structured completeness check against every required output field in the matter brief
- ■ All outputs must include a mandatory disclaimer footer stating the work product requires attorney review before filing or use in proceedings
- ■ If a matter involves sealed records, protective orders, or privilege designations flagged by the intake agent, work is paused and routed to the human owner before processing continues
The agent team
Human touchpoints
// the only things that still need you
- 👤 Signing the Master Services Agreement with new law firm clients, which constitutes a legal engagement and requires a human authorized signatory
- 👤 Reviewing and approving any matter flagged by LexOps for sealed records, active protective orders, or unresolved privilege disputes before agent processing resumes
- 👤 Authorizing ACH or wire transfers above $10,000 triggered by enterprise billing events or refund requests
- 👤 Responding to any client-reported output error that could constitute a material inaccuracy affecting active litigation strategy — treated as a brand and liability crisis requiring human judgment
Tech stack
Monetization
Law firms are billed per matter on a tiered subscription: Starter ($2,500/mo, up to 10 active matters), Growth ($6,500/mo, up to 35 matters), and Enterprise (custom, 50+ matters) — recurring SaaS-style revenue with per-matter overage fees that scale the top line.
Key risks
- → Liability exposure if a hallucinated case citation makes it into filed court documents — requires strict output disclaimers and attorney-of-record sign-off workflows
- → Law firm data security requirements (ABA ethics rules on cloud storage) may disqualify prospects without a BAA-equivalent engagement agreement and SOC 2 posture
Getting started
- 1 Map the five core litigation support deliverablesInterview 5–8 litigation paralegals or small firm attorneys to confirm which deliverables they outsource most: deposition summaries, chronology of facts, document privilege logs, case issue spotting, and trial exhibit indexing. This shapes your agent team's exact output templates.
- 2 Build and test the intake portal and file pipelineStand up a secure client portal (Clio or a white-labeled Notion intake form) connected to AWS Textract for OCR ingestion. Test end-to-end file ingestion with real-world messy PDFs — scanned depositions and mixed-format discovery sets — before any agent logic is layered on top.
- 3 Prompt-engineer each specialist agent's output templateEach agent must produce a structured, attorney-readable artifact in a fixed format (e.g., deposition summary as a table: witness, page/line, key testimony, relevance flag). Spend one full week refining prompts against real case files until outputs require zero human editing on 90%+ of runs.
- 4 Wire the CEO orchestrator and SLA enforcement logicConfigure the CEO agent in Claude Managed Agents to receive work orders, classify case type, assign agents, set internal deadlines, and trigger delivery + Stripe billing on completion. Add a hard rule: no deliverable leaves the system without a completeness check against the client's original request fields.
- 5 Close two pilot law firms at a steep discountOffer two small litigation firms a free 30-day pilot on three real matters each in exchange for documented feedback and a case study. Use this to pressure-test SLA compliance, identify failure modes in edge-case documents, and generate the social proof needed to sell the first paying tier.
