BUILT AROUND YOUR WORK

Practical prompts for client service and a better-run firm.

Designed for Australian lawyers in private practice, this guide addresses both legal-work preparation and the business of running a firm. It covers client service, productivity, drafting and research alongside pricing, marketing and practice operations. Dedicated chapters explore ethics and risk, strategic planning, wellbeing and custom AI tools. Use it to organise a first draft or a line of enquiry, with verification and professional responsibility remaining firmly with the practitioner.

WHAT YOU CAN PUT TO WORK

More than a list of things to ask AI.

01

Prepare clearer client communications and matter updates

02

Structure drafting briefs and research questions

03

Review pricing, scope and practice workflows

04

Plan a measured approach to adopting AI in the firm

The book supplies starting points. Your business context, follow-up questions and review make the answers useful. It does not run an AI tool or perform the work automatically.

TRY THE APPROACH BEFORE YOU BUY

Give the AI a clearer brief.

An illustrative prompt written for this page, based on the book’s themes. It is not a verbatim extract. Replace the bracketed text before using it in your approved AI tool.

Help me prepare a clearer client onboarding communication. Context: [describe your business, the situation and the people involved]. Constraints: [add the time, resources and requirements we must work within]. Ask me three questions to clarify missing information. Then provide a practical first draft with clear headings, recommended next steps and the assumptions I should check. Use a professional, plain-English tone. Do not invent facts or treat unverified information as certain.

You can also select and copy the text above.
