Law firm automation, done for you
Every new file starts with the same paperwork. It shouldn’t start with your staff.
Matter opening letters, retainer e-signatures and follow-up chasers get retyped by hand on every file. The free Blueprint shows which of these your firm can automate, and what each is worth.
About 1 to 3 hours, in as many sittings as you like. You’ll need exports from your practice software. Your answers stay private.
On every file
- Matter opening letter
- Retainer and e-signature
- Follow-up chasers
- Certificate of financial disclosure
- Closing letter
Where does a small law firm lose its hours to paperwork?
In the same five documents above, on every file. Each one is small. Repeated on every file, by hand, they become the work that quietly fills the week.
One person holds the front desk together
One intake coordinator carries matter opening letters, retainer agreements and the first client call. When she is out, intake stops with her.
The same five documents, on every file
The same paperwork, repeated by hand, on every single file.
A report that doesn’t land
An abstract operational rating doesn’t tell a lawyer what is at stake. A dollar figure does. That is why the Blueprint prices every task in hours and dollars.
What law firm tasks can be automated without touching legal judgment?
Clerical work and first drafts. The five documents above, and the document chasing around them, can run on their own. AI can take meeting notes and case facts and produce a first-pass draft for a lawyer to review. The case strategy, the client conversation and every call only a lawyer can make stay with the lawyer.
| Off your plateThe letters | The recurring paperwork a client never sees. |
|---|---|
| Done for youThe first draft | Systems that take client meeting notes and case facts and produce a first-pass draft, ready for a lawyer’s review, not a lawyer’s typing. |
| Stays humanThe judgment | The case strategy. The client conversation. The call only a lawyer can make. We never touch those. |
How does a small law firm get started with automation?

Results arrive within 24 hours of submitting.

Has RunWell done this for a law firm?
A family law firm’s Blueprint mapped eight automations across matter opening, retainer e-signature and document chasing. That is a projection from the Blueprint. The firm has not built them yet, and we say so.
Case note, 2026
A family law firm. Blueprint identified eight automations across matter opening, retainer e-signature and document chasing.

Why choose RunWell for law firm automation?
RunWell builds working systems, not chatbots. The Blueprint quantifies waste using your own firm’s data, and the people who find the problem also build the fix. Felicia Cristofaro runs RunWell: an engineer and operator who fired herself from intake and productized the method.
| We do | We don’t |
|---|---|
| Build working systems that read your documents, reason across your tools and act. | Sell chatbots or ChatGPT wrappers. |
| Price every task from your own firm’s data. | Hand you a binder of recommendations. |
| Have the people who find the problem build the fix. | Touch case strategy or the client conversation. |
Questions law firm owners ask first
Can AI draft client letters safely for a lawyer to review?
Yes, when the output is a first draft that a lawyer reviews and approves before anything is sent. RunWell builds the draft step. The lawyer keeps the decision.
What happens to intake when one coordinator is away?
When intake lives in one person’s head and inbox, it stops with her. Automating the recurring documents and follow-ups means a new file starts the same way whether or not she is in.
Is the Blueprint really free?
Yes. It costs you about 1 to 3 hours to complete, and you’ll need exports from your practice software. There is no charge and no obligation to build.
Who is RunWell for?
Owners of small professional services firms, starting with law firms in Canada and the United States. If you want software to buy, this is not the right fit. If you want the work done, it is.
