Client matter update

Prompt
Write a short, plain-English email updating a client that their matter is progressing and what happens next. No legal advice — just a status update.
Example AI output
Hi [Client], a quick update on your matter. We've received the documents from the other party and are reviewing them now. Next, we'll prepare our response, which we expect to send by [date]. We'll be in touch if we need anything from you. Kind regards, [Lawyer]

Engagement letter outline

Prompt
Create a checklist of sections to include in a client engagement letter for a small law firm.
Example AI output
Scope of work; what's not included; who will work on the matter; how fees and disbursements are charged; estimate of total costs; billing and payment terms; client responsibilities; communication; privacy and confidentiality; complaints process; ending the engagement; acceptance and signature.

Document summary

Prompt
Summarise this document for a busy partner in five bullet points, then list key dates and any obligations: [paste document — remove client identifiers].
Example AI output
Summary: [five key points]. Key dates: [date] — response due; [date] — option expires. Obligations: [party] must provide [item] within [period]. Questions to ask: [items]. Note: this summary must be checked against the full document.

Practice newsletter article

Prompt
Write a 150-word general-information article explaining why small businesses should review their terms and conditions every year. Include a note that it isn't legal advice.
Example AI output
Your terms and conditions protect your business — but only if they're up to date. Changes to your services, pricing, suppliers or the law can leave gaps. An annual review helps make sure your terms reflect how you actually work and what customers expect. If you've added new products, changed payment terms or started selling online, it's a good time to check. This article is general information only and isn't legal advice.

Client intake questions

Prompt
Draft ten intake questions for a new client enquiry about a commercial lease, so we can assess the matter before the first meeting.
Example AI output
1. Are you the tenant or landlord? 2. Property address? 3. Is the lease signed or in negotiation? 4. Lease term and options? 5. Rent and review method? 6. Key dates or deadlines? 7. What is your main concern? 8. Have you received any notices? 9. Who else is involved? 10. What outcome are you hoping for?
