Every new enquiry that reaches your firm is an opportunity. A potential client who feels heard, handled professionally, and guided clearly through the intake process is far more likely to sign. One who gets a slow response, an unanswered call, or a disorganised first conversation will go elsewhere.
A dedicated intake specialist makes sure that never happens. Rather than leaving intake to fee earners who are stretched across active matters, or to general admin staff without the training to convert enquiries, a LawCru intake specialist focuses entirely on that first critical interaction. They manage incoming leads, qualify potential clients, gather the right information, and set the tone for the relationship your firm is about to build.
The result is a better client experience, higher conversion rates, and fee earners who can stay focused on the work they're actually there to do.
LawCru has a dedicated network of pre-screened intake specialists with experience working for law firms across the UK and US. Getting started is straightforward.
Tell us where you need support — your practice area, the volume of enquiries you handle, and what you need from an intake specialist.
See each candidate present themselves on camera, assess how they communicate, and get a feel for their client-facing style before you ever speak to them.
Meet your preferred candidate directly, walk through the role, and assess whether they're the right voice for your firm.
Test how they handle a real intake scenario before you commit, at no cost for tasks under 2 hours.
Kick off on 4 or 8 hours per day with a flexible monthly rolling arrangement — no long-term contracts required.
No guesswork. No lengthy recruitment cycles. Just experienced intake professionals, ready to represent your firm.
A LawCru intake specialist is experienced in client communication, lead management, and the specific demands of legal intake work. Here's what they can take on.
Answering calls, responding to web enquiries, and managing contact forms professionally and promptly.
Assessing whether prospective clients meet your firm's criteria, gathering the right information, and filtering out matters that aren't a fit.
Conducting structured intake calls to capture case details, client background, and next steps.
Logging all enquiries, updating client records, and keeping your pipeline accurate and current.
Chasing warm leads, sending follow-up emails, and keeping prospective clients engaged while they make their decision.
Booking consultations, managing calendars, and coordinating between clients and fee earners.
Sending engagement letters, terms of business, ID verification requests, and new client forms.
Running initial conflict checks before matters are opened.
Handling real-time enquiries across multiple channels with a consistent, professional tone.
Providing regular updates on enquiry volumes, conversion rates, and lead sources so you can see exactly what's coming into your firm.
If leads are falling through the cracks or your fee earners are spending time on intake that should be spent on billable work, a dedicated intake specialist changes both.
LawCru's intake specialists are based primarily in South Africa and Latin America (LATAM), two regions with strong track records of delivering client-facing remote support for international law firms.
The majority of our professionals are South Africa-based. South African legal professionals bring a natural warmth and professionalism to client communication, combined with a clear understanding of how UK and US law firms operate. English is widely spoken as a first or primary language, and the cultural alignment with British and American clients is consistently strong. Our founders lived in Cape Town, and our family business has been rooted in Africa since 2001. We know this talent market well, and we stand behind the quality of the professionals we source from it.
For US-based firms, LATAM is an increasingly compelling option. Our professionals in this region are fluent in English and Spanish, and they work in time zones that closely match the US business day. For firms serving Spanish-speaking client communities, a bilingual intake specialist can be a significant competitive advantage.
Both regions give you access to polished, professional communicators who understand the high standards expected in legal client engagement, at a price point that makes strong commercial sense.
LawCru's pricing is straightforward and all-inclusive. There are no setup fees, no placement charges, and no hidden costs.
Practice Area
First impressions matter, particularly when handling new client enquiries.
That's why we provide experienced intake professionals, many of whom have previously worked remotely with US and UK law firms.
Our Latin American candidates also offer bilingual capabilities, making them particularly well-suited to firms serving Spanish-speaking clients.
