For the measures that come in when you're on call

Total Ops reads every WhatsApp message, email and chatbot enquiry that reaches your firm, then actions the work behind it — new matter quotes built from your fee scale, ID and AML documents chased and checked, matter-stage updates sent to clients and agents, and fee-earner appointments booked after a conflict check.

Pick an enquiry type in the diagram to see what a client message triggers, which matter data it pulls, and what the client receives back — every action is logged to the file so your audit trail stays complete.

What does enquiry handling in this sector look like?

Knows your practice areas and scope

Conveyancing, family, employment, wills and disputes — routed to the right team with the right fee information.

Never lets an instruction slip away

Every enquiry gets an immediate, professional response and a consultation offered before they call another firm.

Does the intake before you advise

Matter type, parties, key dates and conflict details are gathered up front, so the first meeting is substantive.

On the clock 24/7, no extra cover

Out-of-hours enquiries are captured, triaged and diarised — with every action logged for the file.

Get set up and stop losing instructions

With Total Ops on intake, new matters keep arriving while the office is closed.

What it actions

Quotes out, files compliant, chains moving.

  • Quotes new matters on your own fee scale with disbursements set out

    New matter enquiries are quoted on your own fee scale with disbursements, search fees and VAT set out plainly, so the client understands the total cost and instructs you rather than ringing three more firms.

  • Sends and chases ID, AML and source-of-funds documents securely

    ID, AML and source-of-funds documents are requested, received and chased securely until the file is complete, which removes the most common reason a matter stalls in its first fortnight.

  • Gives accurate matter-stage updates to clients, agents and brokers

    Clients, agents and brokers all want the same status update. The actioner gives an accurate matter-stage answer from the file instead of interrupting the fee earner handling the work.

  • Chases the other side, lenders and search providers for the blocker

    When a matter is blocked, the actioner chases the other side, the lender and the search provider on your behalf and keeps escalating until there's an answer, with everything recorded.

  • Books calls with the right fee earner after a conflict check

    Calls are booked with the right fee earner only after a conflict check passes, respecting court and completion commitments so nothing lands in a protected part of the diary.

  • Logs every message and action to the matter file for your audit trail

    Every message and action is written to the matter file with a timestamp, giving you the audit trail your regulator, insurer and file reviews expect without extra admin.

Firm FAQs

What law firms and conveyancers ask us first

Will it give legal advice?

Never. Anything advisory is summarised with full matter context and routed to the right fee earner. Total Ops handles the administrative work around the advice — quoting, chasing, updating, booking.

How does it handle confidentiality and regulatory obligations?

Matter data is used only to action that matter, access is scoped to your firm, and every message and action is written to an exportable audit trail you can rely on for file reviews and supervision.

Does it just reply, like an auto-responder?

No. The quote is built and sent, the ID request is out and chased, the search provider is pushed, the appointment is in the fee earner's diary. The reply confirms work already completed.

Will it quote accurately?

Quotes come from your own fee scale and disbursement table, including tenure and funding variations. Anything outside your published scale is held for a fee earner or costs lawyer to approve.

Can it chase without upsetting clients or the other side?

Chases are staged, professional and stop the moment the item arrives. You set the cadence and the point at which a stalled item is escalated internally rather than chased again.

Does it work with our case management system?

It connects to the systems you already run — your case management and portal, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, WhatsApp Business and your website chatbot — so actions land on the real file.

What about complaints or vulnerable clients?

Both are detected and escalated immediately with the full thread attached, never auto-answered, so your COLP and supervising fee earners keep control.
