Back to Why AI Could Turn Small Law Firms Into Billion-Dollar Businesses, with Alex Rampell & Jay Madheswaran.

Can One Attorney Manage 500 Clients?

Jay Madheswaran says one firm in LA went from managing about 100 clients per attorney to 500, and that kind of jump is possible.

The firm worked hard and used Eve to the maximum, from intake through settlement. Agents field the call, run qualification, and remove the relay of passing work from one attorney to another and then to a case manager. Briefs before a mediator discussion say what to focus on, what the settlement outcome should look like for similar cases, and which tactics were used before.

The case moves forward continuously, and the lawyer helps it do a better job than it could do by itself. In his view, the future of law has the lawyer looking more like a data scientist and an engineer, improving the work again and again. Top law firms on Eve go through the same mental shift.
