The operations assistant we built for solo attorneys.
LegalContext handles intake screening, client follow-ups, dormant-client surfacing, and your morning digest — so you can practice law instead of managing admin. It’s also how we prove we understand your week from the inside, long before we quote you for a build.
What does an operations assistant do for a solo attorney?
It handles the front-office work that eats a solo's day. LegalContext screens inbound intakes against your criteria, resurfaces clients who've gone quiet, drafts routine emails for your review, and hands you one morning digest of what needs attention. You stay in control of every send and every legal decision.
Morning Digest
Start your day already knowing what matters. Overnight, LegalContext reads your emails, calendar, and case notes, then hands you one short briefing that ranks what needs attention first — the follow-ups due today, the new client inquiries waiting, and the deadlines coming up.
Attorneys who rely on the morning digest often save themselves 30 to 45 minutes a day on email triage alone.
Intake Screening
Screen leads even while you’re in court. LegalContext takes intake from every channel your clients actually use — web forms, email, SMS, and WhatsApp — using practice-area templates you can tune to your work, whatever you practice.
It runs each new lead through your criteria and flags the ones worth your time, so you can review them whenever you’re ready. Response times drop from hours to under a minute.
Dormant Client Follow-Up
Recover the revenue you’ve lost track of. Plenty of it is sitting in quiet files — clients with matter updates, renewals, and filings coming due, and past clients whose circumstances will bring them back.
LegalContext surfaces the clients who’ve gone quiet and generates follow-up alerts on a cadence tuned to each practice area. Many firms recover more than the cost of the product within their first month.
Drafted Client Emails
Professional client communications in seconds. LegalContext drafts status updates, follow-up emails, and intake responses using your firm’s tone and the specific case context.
You review, edit, and send. Drafts are a starting point, not a replacement for your judgment. Every draft is clearly tagged as machine-assisted, so your audit trail stays clean.
Built from hundreds of conversations with solo attorneys.
LegalContext wasn’t built from a product roadmap. It came from watching solo and small-firm attorneys work — seeing what consumes their mornings, where revenue quietly leaks away, and which follow-ups slip through the cracks.
When Protomated takes on your firm, we bring that same depth to every build. Most consultants don’t ship working software, and most SaaS vendors don’t offer hands-on implementation. We do both — and each side sharpens the other.
Simple pricing for real practices.
No per-seat enterprise tax. Priced how solo and small firms actually budget.
How is LegalContext different from Clio or MyCase?
Practice management tools are your system of record. LegalContext runs the busywork around it, and works alongside the tools you already use.

Clio and MyCase are your system of record. LegalContext runs the busywork around it, screening intakes, chasing dormant clients, and drafting routine emails. It works alongside your practice management tool, it doesn't replace it.
Yes. It's built to sit alongside the practice management and calendar tools you already use, not force you to switch. Setup is quick and there's no contract.
