Overview
Documentation is a legal requirement, not an option.
A family law practice faced a universal problem: the administrative burden of documenting every client interaction. After each meeting or call, solicitors spent significant time creating file notes and correspondence, time that could be spent on client work.
NFI built a comprehensive meeting intelligence platform: a recording system integrated with AI-powered document generation that produces compliant file notes and client letters within minutes of each interaction.
“Every hour spent on administrative paperwork is an hour not spent advocating for our clients. We needed technology that understood the nuances of legal practice.”

The problem
Documentation isn't optional. It is a legal requirement.
Every client conversation must be recorded in file notes, and clients expect written summaries of advice. For family law practitioners, this creates significant administrative overhead.
01
Manual documentation burden
30 to 60 minutes after each meeting: transcribing from memory, drafting formal file notes and writing client letters.
02
Compliance requirements
Records may be reviewed by courts, so exact statements must be preserved, attributed correctly, and advice distinguished from discussion.
03
Staff time allocation
Legal assistants spent hours on documentation that didn't require their training, creating bottlenecks and delays.
The solution
Record, transcribe and generate, without losing the nuance.
Calendar sync pre-populates participants for scheduled meetings; quick-start recording handles unscheduled calls, with pause and resume for natural flow.
Identifies and separates speakers, labelling them from context and a database of firm staff, distinguishing solicitors, assistants and clients for accurate attribution.
Cleans transcripts while preserving verbatim client language and emotional context, then generates an internal file note and a client letter, professionally formatted.
Understands the difference between substantive consultations and administrative calls, applies the right template, and never misattributes legal advice to a non-solicitor.
