AI-Powered Intake for Employment Law Firms
Screen high-merit wrongful termination and harassment claims 24/7. Integrate directly with Clio or Litify to ensure no EEOC or FEHA deadline is ever missed.
Employment law firms face a high volume of low-merit inquiries while balancing strict 180 or 300-day EEOC filing windows. Missing a single intake for a high-value class action or a FEHA harassment claim can result in losing $50,000+ in potential contingency fees. Traditional receptionists often lack the specialized knowledge to distinguish between a simple HR dispute and an actionable WARN Act violation. Read Laboratories builds custom AI chatbots that perform deep-level screening, checking for protected class status and adverse employment actions in real-time. By automating the initial fact-finding phase, firms can focus on litigation while the AI handles the documentation of notice and preservation of evidence letters for new claimants.
Problems We Solve
EEOC Deadline Management
The AI automatically flags cases approaching the 180/300-day filing window, preventing catastrophic statute of limitations issues for new leads.
Merit-Based Screening
Filters out non-actionable 'at-will' terminations from high-value harassment or retaliation claims before they ever reach an attorney's desk.
Multi-Party Coordination
Streamlines communication for class-action or PAGA suits where dozens of claimants need consistent status updates and document collection.
Immediate Document Preservation
Instantly issues automated instructions to claimants regarding the preservation of Slack logs, emails, and performance reviews to prevent spoliation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the chatbot distinguish between independent contractors and employees?
Yes, the AI uses specific logic based on the ABC test or Borrello standards to help determine worker classification during the initial intake phase, which is critical for misclassification suits.
Is the data collected protected by attorney-client privilege?
Our systems are configured to include legal disclaimers stating that no relationship is formed until a retainer is signed, while maintaining SOC2-compliant data security for all submissions.
How does it handle complex EEOC filing deadlines?
The bot calculates the time elapsed since the 'adverse action' and flags 'High Urgency' for cases nearing the 180-day federal or 1-year state (FEHA) limits.
Can it integrate with our existing intake forms?
Absolutely. We can map the AI's data output to match the custom fields in your PracticePanther, Clio Grow, or Salesforce/Litify intake workflows.
What happens if a user describes an emergency, like an active safety violation?
We program specific 'hot-word' triggers that immediately escalate the chat to a live staff member or provide emergency contact instructions for OSHA or local authorities.
