Slow intake loses clients before they instruct you

Prospective clients expect a fast, professional response. When intake relies on emailed forms, manual conflict checks, and paper-based ID verification, it takes days to onboard a new client — by which time they may have instructed a competitor. Firms also risk AML and sanctions non-compliance when checks are performed inconsistently.

Slow response times

Enquiries sit in shared inboxes for hours or days before a fee earner picks them up.

Manual conflict checks

Searching previous matters for conflicts is done by memory or keyword search, missing subtle connections.

Paper-based ID verification

Clients are asked to bring physical documents to the office, adding friction and delaying instruction.

Inconsistent AML screening

Without a standardised process, some clients are screened thoroughly while others slip through with minimal checks.

How SwiftCase handles it

Purpose-built capabilities — not generic templates you have to work around.

Digital intake forms

Branded online forms capture client details, matter type, and supporting documents — available 24/7 on your website.

Automated conflict search

New client and party names are automatically checked against your entire matter history for potential conflicts.

Electronic ID verification

Integrated eKYC checks verify client identity against government databases, satisfying AML and SRA requirements.

Automated matter opening

Once intake is approved, a new matter record is created with pre-populated data, assigned to a fee earner, and a client care letter is generated.

Expected outcomes

75%
Faster onboarding
Clients move from enquiry to instructed in hours rather than days, improving conversion rates.

AML screening
Every client passes through the same standardised anti-money-laundering checks without exception.
50%
Less admin
Reception and secretarial staff spend half the time on intake paperwork, freeing capacity for other tasks.

How it works

01

Capture enquiry

The prospective client completes a digital intake form on the firm's website or is guided through it by a receptionist.

02

Screen & verify

SwiftCase runs conflict checks, AML/sanctions screening, and electronic ID verification in parallel.

03

Review & approve

A fee earner reviews the intake summary, resolves any flagged conflicts, and approves onboarding.

04

Open matter

An approved intake triggers automatic matter creation, document generation, and task assignment.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. SwiftCase provides an embeddable form widget or a hosted link that you can place on your website, email signatures, or social media profiles.

SwiftCase integrates with leading UK eKYC providers to verify identity documents against DVLA, HMRC, and passport databases, satisfying SRA and AML obligations.

New client and party names are automatically cross-referenced against your entire matter history. Any matches are flagged for manual review by the supervising fee earner before intake can proceed.

Absolutely. Forms are fully configurable per matter type — a conveyancing enquiry captures different information from a personal injury claim, for example.
