Pain points we solve

Real scenario

Before: Senior partners’ phones constantly ringing - half the calls didn’t need them. Voicemails sat unread because partners were in court or in meetings. Matter notes inconsistent. Recording on an old Mitel PBX with manual retention.

After 3CX AI Edition: Each partner has an AI Personal Assistant trained on their client list and matter book. Routine calls (couriers, suppliers, junior queries) get handled without ringing the partner. Genuine client calls transfer instantly. Voicemails arrive with AI transcripts in the partner’s inbox within seconds. Recording linked into Actionstep matter records with 7-year retention enforced. Partner billable hours up 6% in the first quarter (less time on phone-tag).

3CX AI Edition for firms with partners. The AI Personal Assistants alone justify the upgrade - billable-hour recovery typically pays the cost step-up several times over.

Common questions

Will the AI Personal Assistant work for partners?
Yes - it's effectively what AI PAs were designed for. Each partner gets their own PA configured with their trusted clients list, availability rules, current-matter routing, and instructions for handling business development calls vs urgent client matters. Many of our legal firm partners describe it as 'the EA I always wanted'.
How does call recording work for matter notes?
Recordings are linked to the caller's matter in your practice management system (Actionstep, LEAP, Smokeball, FilePro). After the call, the recording link sits in the matter record. AI Edition adds full transcription with speaker diarization - call notes write themselves.
What about retention requirements?
Retention windows are driven by your professional-indemnity insurer and the legal profession's record-keeping obligations - check with your compliance team. 3CX supports configurable retention with automatic purging and audit-logged deletion events; we'll configure the platform to whatever rule you give us.
Does 3CX integrate with legal practice management?
Yes - pre-built integrations and templates for Actionstep, LEAP, Smokeball, FilePro, MyCase (via API). Time-billing systems get phone-time exports for invoicing.
Multi-office firms?
Standard. Each office has its own number; partners can be reached on their direct line regardless of which office they're physically in. Receptionists from one office can pick up overflow from another. Hot-desking for partners moving between offices.
