Attorney-to-Paralegal Task Router
Partners and associates often hand work to paralegals in fragmented emails or hallway conversations, which creates missed context and duplicate follow-up. This automation converts attorney requests into structured tasks with the matter, deadline, priority, and supporting documents attached from the start.
How It Works
Capture the attorney request
A note, tagged email, or matter task triggers the workflow when an attorney asks for drafting, filing, service, or record collection support.
Assign by matter rules
The request is routed based on practice area, assigned team, paralegal workload, and any specialty requirements.
Attach the working context
The automation includes the relevant matter link, due date, priority, prior filings, and instructions so the paralegal does not need to dig.
Track acknowledgement and completion
If the task is not acknowledged promptly, reminders are sent, and completion updates flow back to the requesting attorney.
Tools & Platforms
Key Benefits
Reduces dropped work during busy litigation weeks Gives paralegals the context needed to start immediately Makes task ownership visible instead of hidden in email Improves turnaround on routine filing and drafting support
In Practice
A litigation partner marks a motion exhibit assembly task inside the matter. The workflow sends it to the assigned paralegal with the hearing date, exhibit list, draft motion link, and an internal due date two days ahead of filing.
